How to Improve Employee Security and Protect Your Business from Verification Fraud

The present employment environment is facing challenges in hiring ethical people. Companies of all sizes across all industries and sectors face the risk of getting misleading information from fraudulent background verification companies or hiring incompetent candidates who give spurious information during the recruitment process. If you feel that your organisation may face such a risk, read on for the strongest solution to employee background screening. It will help you improve the security of your employees (and lead to a decrease in the wrong hiring decisions), thereby protecting your business from verification fraud.

Risks of fraudulent background check companies

Businesses blindly trust the candidate verification reports of background check companies while making hiring decisions. By doing so, they put the reputation and resources of their organisation at stake. It may be the case that the verification company you hire does not work diligently and honestly in performing checks and submitting one hundred per cent accurate reports to you. Consequently, you are prone to hiring the wrong employees (and increasing the hiring costs) in your organisation. Some background checks companies deploy manual processes and obsolete technologies for verifying the credentials of candidates. They, thus, deliver inaccurate and incomplete information about the candidates.

Therefore, you must explore and deploy secure, trusted, and automated background checking solutions to mitigate the risks of verification fraud and mistakes.

FAQs

What background check do I need?

This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.

Why should employers check the background of potential employees?

Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.

How long do background checks take?

Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.

Can you do a background check online?

All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.

What are the benefits of a background check?

In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.

What does a background check show?

Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
