You’ve made it through an extensive interview process, and you believe you’ve found a great candidate. All that’s left is for your future employee to clear the background check so they can start producing great results.
But the background check gets delayed and delayed. Then delayed some more. What can you do to help ensure holdups don’t happen in the future?
Tips for an efficient background check process
- Provide complete names. Sometimes a simple middle initial can make all the difference. There may be thousands of Mark Browns to sort through, but only a few Mark T. Browns.
- Ask the candidate to use official first names. A candidate may go by Steve or Beth, but Steven or Elizabeth is the legal name of record. The screening coordinator may have trouble locating and verifying records with just nicknames.
- Use Signet’s Quick App. With our Quick App, you can go paperless with applicants entering their own personal data online within Signet’s secure system. This eliminates having to decipher bad handwriting, and it’s one more way Signet provides convenient, efficient results.
