确定您应该对候选人进行的背景调查类型，同时试图保持
在预算限制范围内并承受更快招聘的压力，可能会使您难以决定
您的就业筛选应该有多全面。尽管背景调查是
必要的，并且应始终被视为一项投资，但
通过审查您在
组织中针对不同职位类型进行的背景调查，可能有机会降低成本和周转时间。
降低成本
背景调查的成本通常与完成
背景调查中包含的所有服务所需的验证级别相关。自然地，对新员工进行刑事搜查、教育验证
和药物测试可能会比单独进行任何一项
检查更昂贵。我们看到雇主在进行背景调查时犯的一个常见错误是
未能根据工作要求调整检查。
通常，当特定职位可能不适合需要时，雇主会在整个组织中采用总体标准。例如，
一家货运公司的接待员可能不需要
对其司机进行的背景调查和药物测试的深度。
确保您只运行您正在招聘的特定角色所需的背景调查，这
可以帮助您降低成本，并对最重要的职位进行更深入的背景调查
。与愿意协助创建
特定于您所招聘角色的背景调查包的背景调查提供商合作将有助于减少不必要的搜索。
减少周转时间
与背景调查成本类似，周转时间通常与完成背景调查所需的验证级别相关。
按工作类型进行背景调查有助于减少周转时间，同时降低成本。查看每个职位的背景调查要求，并确定哪些
信息最需要验证并与工作要求相关。在这样做时，您可能会发现
您可以消除或添加最肯定会调整您的预期周转时间的标准。在上面的
示例中，如果确定您不需要对
接待员角色进行教育或就业验证，您将能够更快地获得这些职位，而无需经过
更长的验证过程。
不要被带走
你得到你所付出的。虽然削减成本和周转时间听起来不错，但减少任何一项都会
影响背景调查的质量。
在削减任何搜索之前，深入了解您正在招聘的每种类型的角色以确定必备要求非常重要。可能值得
看看您可以在哪里使用任何成本节省来对
您组织的其他职位实施更彻底的背景调查。
within budget constraints and being under pressure to hire faster, can make it hard to make decisions
about how comprehensive your employment screening should be. Although background checks are
necessary and should always be viewed as an investment, there may be an opportunity to reduce cost
and turnaround time by reviewing the background checks you are running across position types at your
organization.
Reduce Cost
The cost of your background check usually correlates with the level of verification needed to complete
all services included in the background check. Naturally, running a criminal search, education verification
and drug test on a new hire is likely going to be more expensive than just running any one of those
checks independently. A common mistake we see employers make when running background checks is
failing to tailor the check to the requirements of the job. Often, employers apply an overarching
standard across an organization when a specific position might not fit the need. For example, a
receptionist at a trucking company might not need the same depth of background check and drug
testing that should be done on their drivers.
Making sure you are only running background checks that are needed for specific role you are hiring for
can help you lower cost and run more in-depth background checks for the positions where it matters
most. Working with a background check provider that is willing to assist in creating background check
packages specific to the roles you are hiring for will help reduce unnecessary searches.
Reduce Turnaround Time
Similar to background check cost, turnaround time typically correlates with the level of verification that is needed to complete the background check.
Conducting background checks by job type can help reduce turnaround time at the same time that you are reducing cost. Review your background check requirements per position and determine what
information is most important to verify and relative to the job requirements. In doing so, you may find
you can eliminate or add criteria which will most certainly adjust your expected turnaround time. In the
example above, if it is decided that you do not need an education or employment verification on
receptionist roles, you will be able to get those positions hired faster without having to go through a
longer verification process.
Don’t Get Carried Away
You get what you pay for. Although cutting cost and turnaround time sounds nice, reducing either one
impacts the quality of your background checks. It is important to take a deep look at each type of role
you are hiring for to establish must-have requirements before cutting any searches. It may be worth
seeing where you can use any cost savings to implement more thorough background checks for other
positions at your organization.
