In an attempt to grow and expand,
Large as well as Small Medium enterprises (SME) in India and abroad, are
continuously looking to add more manpower to their organization.
The onus of selecting the right candidate lies primarily on the HR
Executive who uses his experience and expertise to evaluate the candidate.
A direct interaction with the candidate speaks volumes of his personality.
However, a more in depth evaluation of the prospective employee is a must.
What is Pre Employment Screening?
As the name suggests, it is the process of screening / verifying a
person's background information prior to employing him in your
organisation.
It has become imperative to confirm and re confirm a persons’ background,
his character and his proposed experience. Pre Employment Screening
(verification) aids in eliminating such risks as work place violence,
internal thefts etc. Hiring an undeserving
candidate can unnecessarily increase your training and recruitment costs,
harm your organizations’ harmony and put confidential information into
jeopardy.
Failure to conduct a background
check has multiple negative repercussions which can well be avoided
through a well balanced pre employment screening program.
BENEFITS OF SCREENING
Organizations in India as well as those abroad can benefit tremendously
from an employee screening program. Decreased turnover, reduced expenses
and elimination of risks of theft and fraud are just some of the
advantages. Being an employer, it is up to you to provide your employees a
safe and secure working environment. Hence, it is your job to reject those
people who might have a violent or criminal record.
Make use of pre employment screening policies and show that you have
exercised due diligence in the hiring process.
OUTSOURCE YOUR EMPLOYEE SCREENING NEEDS
Many organisations outsource the entire screening procedures to an agency
that specializes in doing so. This helps them to –
• Save time, energy and resources in learning the screening process and
instead concentrate on running their own business, something that they do best.
• Absorb the new candidate and grow with him. Since the specialists have
already completed a thorough background check, there is nothing left to worry
about.
• Help the HR department to concentrate on their core competencies.
• Furnish the reports put together by the screening team as a legal
document at a later stage.
