Employee Screening for Your Hiring Needs

Whether you are a large corporation or a small business owner, you need accurate and reliable employee screening to ensure that you are hiring and collaborating with trustworthy individuals whose identity is verified and background is established. 

You may not always have the time or resources to conduct this complex process by yourself. Sometimes it is better to outsource these types of processes to ensure that privacy and legal standards are followed, all relevant information is gathered, and all avenues have been pursued to guarantee that your applicant will be a trustworthy, dependable hire.

Key Criteria for Employee Screening

Employee background checks utilise a number of sources to sift through a wide range of available information. In order to successfully conduct a pre-employment screening, you'll need to obtain the following information regarding your application:

- Identity information - this includes tax file numbers, passport numbers, and state driver's licenses. These verifiers are the start of any employment screening process.
- Employment and education verification - this is obtained by contacting all previous employers and places of education provided to you by the applicant.
- Criminal records - this includes National Police Checks for residents of the Australian Capital Territory, Jervis Bay Territory, and external Commonwealth Territories. It also can include checks of State or Territory criminal records.
- Drug screening - requiring all current, new, and potential employees to undergo drug screenings is crucial in establishing a safe work environment.
- Credit checks - obtaining information regarding an applicant's credit history speaks volumes about their financial stability and financial responsibility.
- Personal references - interviews with former employees and personal references provides you with qualitative data regarding an applicant's personality, relationships with others, and characteristics.
