1. Costs
Background screening used to involve a steep investment in
systems and personnel that only mid-sized and larger organizations could
afford. Now with easy to implement and affordable on-demand screening
solutions, more small businesses are able to manage their background
screening programs effectively. However, small businesses that elect to
conduct background checks in-house may be left with a process that is
labor intensive and more costly to perform.
2. Timeliness
Small businesses are
getting timely results and reducing time-to-hire. An on-demand screening
solution streamlines what was once a manual and disjointed process,
thereby greatly reducing the turnaround time for receiving background
screening results.
In a competitive hiring environment, those businesses with the
quickest screening results and time-to-hire will often win the best
candidates. Employers that attempt to conduct background screening
in-house may fail to achieve the rapid turnaround times that on-demand
background screening providers can provide.
3. Compliance
Compliance with regulations at the state and federal levels topped the
lists of business challenges and screening-specific challenges that
small businesses face. Partnering with onAco can
add value by providing access to compliance information and resources
as well as tools integrated into the screening solution that can help to
facilitate the organization’s compliance. Employers that choose to
conduct background checks internally must continually ensure that their
own processes and policies are compliant with evolving legislation and
regulation.
4. Talent Acquisition and Retention
With an on-demand
background screening solution, employers can easily expand their
employment background screening program to include additional checks
such as education verification, drug testing, criminal background checks
and credit checks (to the extent legally permissible).
These added background checks will help improve the overall quality
of hires by identifying candidates that do not meet job requirements or
show a history of undesirable behavior. For employers that conduct
background screening in-house, each additional background check creates
additional complexity, and may make it difficult to manage an effective
program that identifies the best talent.
5. Scalability
Growth is a major goal for many small businesses today. Without an
on-demand background screening solution in place, small business growth
can become a challenge for the over-taxed human resources department.
When a small business finds that it needs to increase its workforce
to better meet demand, an automated screening solution is completely
scalable and makes it easy to screen and hire an even larger number of
new workers. An in-house solution may require additional personnel to
achieve the same level of background screening productivity.
