Background check, the data verification and validation system you need
March 14, 2022
What is risk management?
March 31, 2022What should companies prioritize when hiring a candidate? Will talent and motivation be more important than experience? Well, Human Resources professionals work hard to integrate the best talent into their company’s ranks, however, knowing the candidates well is a delicate and transcendental task for recruiters to provide value to the business and to contribute to improve workflow of your area.
Today, the process of getting to know candidates is more sophisticated and accurate than it was a few decades ago. Some traditional processes such as the verification of socioeconomic data are replaced or reinforced by the background check, in order to obtain a more realistic profile of the talent that will join the company.
How does a background check work in a recruitment process?
This process must have comprehensive testing to provide HR professionals with sufficient data to make decisions. From document validation, to telephone references, to psychometric tests, will help you get to know the candidatesbut they are the background checks which allow you to find out more about the people you are going to hire, and with them you can review and validate important information to make the best decisions. In this way, it is possible to minimize the risk of perhaps having hired a qualified candidate, but who has a history of fraud, which is relevant not only for risk reduction, but also for regulatory and normative issues, as in the case of the financial sector.
In the process in which the tests are applied to the candidates, the background check intervenes in the collection of this information and, within this integral process, all the data is taken to be able to analyze the data, that is to say, to process it and to be the main instrument for decision making.
The right talent
Not only one profile is the right one, i.e., not the same behavior leads you to identify the best talent. They are all different and depending on the vacancy you want to fill, you will be able to find in one profile or another the characteristics you need to integrate your company.
In this process the implementation of background check is vital, since you have a wider horizon to know your candidate, you can know if in his history a behavior is risky or harmful to your company, or it is the push that needs to be covered with his position. In this way, you leverage technology to automate your selection processes while obtaining more accurate information to make decisions and expand your talent options in a more secure way for your company both internally and for your clients.
