Are You in Love With Your Background Screening Provider on Valentine’s Day?

Valentine’s Day – February 14th – is a time for love and romance each year, but it can also be a time to reexamine relationships. For employers who conduct pre-employment screening, it may be a time to answer this question: “Are you in love with your background screening provider?” ​​​​​Specifically, does your background screening provider:

• Maintain certifications such as Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) accreditation, SOC 2 Type 2 reports, and ISO security standards?
• Have legal expertise in screening laws such as the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and all applicable state and local screening laws?
• Offer real-time “Assured Compliance” assuring that all forms, notices, disclosures, and consent documents are always up to date for use?
• Integrate seamlessly with a multitude of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS), and other HR technologies to ensure the best candidate experience for job applicants?
• Perform domestic screening with all work performed in the United States to protect privacy and all international screening in compliance with foreign laws?
• Offer a variety of screening resources such as “how to” videos, news blogs, white papers, webinars, and a monthly screening compliance update?
• Act as a “one stop” shop for all types of pre-employment screening such as background checks, drug testing, and occupational health screening?
