How Human Resource Professionals View the Use and Effectiveness of Background Screening Methods
JUNE 2018
In an increasingly global economy, employers are rightfully placing a premium on the safety of employees and the community. Employers continue to utilize professional background checks at a near universal rate, according to a newly released survey from the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS). The second annual survey gauging the views of HR professionals found that public safety was their top priority. Read the exclusive research to learn whether organizations are relying on standalone or integrated solutions and to understand the barriers why the number one challenge reported continues to be the length of time in getting results.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE RESEARCH:
Nearly all respondents stated they conduct backgrounds checks of some kind, with a majority saying they screen both part-time and full-time employees. Ninety-five percent of employers stated their organization conducts one or more types of employment background screening. A background check is, in basic terms, information compiled on an individual which may be considered when determining eligibility for a job.
In the 2018 survey, human resources professionals reconfirmed their focus on accuracy with 98 percent stating that the accuracy of their background screenings is "very important." This percentage was consistent with last year's survey. At the same time, an increased number of respondents stated that the length of time to get results is the most significant challenge facing their organization when conducting background screens – 65 percent this year versus 62 percent in 2017.
