In today’s competitive market, employers need every advantage they can get for attracting and hiring top talent. We explain how superior screening can deliver measurable differences.
The more qualified and suitable a candidate is, the more job offers they tend to receive. One of the most effective ways for employers to get great candidates to say, “Yes!” is to deliver a pleasant experience throughout the hiring process—including pre-employment background screening.
Efficient screening with plenty of clear communication gives potential hires a favorable impression of the company overall, granting an important edge over competing employers. The following are some simple but effective ways to modernize the background check process.
First and foremost, screening should go as quickly as possible while still obtaining accurate results and staying within legal compliance. Partnering with a reputable background check company like us at CredentialCheck will make a big difference in screening speed and quality.
Next, give candidates an easy way to get answers to common background check questions. An informative candidate portal or live help center eases concerns and demonstrates the employer’s commitment to clear communication.
Finally, utilize modern communication methods like texting to start the screening process and interact with candidates throughout it. Text messaging is today’s communication method of choice among all demographics but especially the Millennials and Gen Z workers who make up the bulk of the labor force.
By making these upgrades to the hiring process, employers can demonstrate to candidates their level of organization, communication, and consideration for the employee experience. Hiring will go more smoothly, and candidates will experience a real-world example of why the company is a great place to work.
