How Human Resources Professionals View and Use Background Screening in Employment
JUNE 2019
To help safeguard today's increasingly globalized workforce, organizations are utilizing professional background checks at a near universal rate, according to a newly released survey from the National Association of Professional Background Screeners. This third annual survey, in partnership with HR.com's Research Institute, not only found that protecting employers and customers was the top reason for doing background checks but also that having access to international screening capabilities is important for most. The number one challenge reported continues to be the length of time in getting results. We invite you to read the report which includes key insights and outcomes from the survey.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE RESEARCH:
Nearly all HR professionals conduct background checks of some kind, with a majority saying they screen both part-time and full-time employees. Ninety-six percent of employers conduct one or more types of employment background screening, which is up by one percentage point from 2018.
About two-fifths of the respondents surveyed represented companies with fewer than 100 employees (42 percent). Fifty-two percent of entities represented are privately held, and 26 percent are non-profit. Seventy-seven percent of survey respondents say their company has a documented background screening policy, with 10 percent indicating they aren't sure. The 2019 survey shows that most companies are still waiting until after a conditional job offer is made before conducting a background screen.
