Online employee screening has become increasingly popular due to improved user experiences and the ability to communicate immediately. Employers will also find that applications, like that of Choice Screening, help aid in compliance efforts of the employer.
The use of online applications has become an expectation for employers when running a background check. But, not all are created equal.
Here are some key factors to consider:
Employers can choose the level of support they receive right down to the company they work with. For example, in addition to offering the right services and helping you understand what it means to be compliant with the FCRA, you can find FCRA-compliant online consent form and Adverse Action Letters at Choice Screening. Not every company offers this!
Use of these tools online helps your team:
The consent form pre-populates when the order is placed and Adverse Action automatically pulls FCRA required components
Both are maintained in the same application for easy access and monitoring
Both our consent form and adverse action letters are maintained and updated by our Compliance Manager, leaving your team to focus on local and state changes
Options are seemingly endless when you have to pick a background screening company, let alone using them to make a hiring decision. How well you make the former can directly impact your ability to make the latter.
The variability between companies can make your hiring decisions easier, faster and with more useful information… or unnecessarily challenging to manage. Tools like online consent forms and adverse action letters are enhanced by adequate data security, usability, support and flexibility.
When you select a company for screening your employees online, a clear understanding of your needs and expectations will help facilitate a more productive conversation with your prospective partner.
