Hiring the right candidate involves more than reviewing a resume. Employers may need to confirm relevant qualifications, review references and evaluate candidate information before moving forward with a placement.
At eHire Staffing Solutions, background screening forms part of a structured recruitment process designed to support employers and candidates throughout different stages of hiring.
What Is Background Screening?
Background screening is a candidate review process used to verify information that may be relevant to a particular role.
Depending on the position and employer requirements, screening may include reference checks, qualification verification and other appropriate background checks. Where necessary and requested by the client, a police check may also form part of the process.
The type of screening required can vary according to the position and workplace requirements.
Reference and Background Checks
Reference checks can provide employers with additional information about a candidate before a placement decision is made.
As part of its recruitment process, eHire Staffing Solutions may conduct reference and background checks where appropriate. These checks support a more organized candidate review process and complement other recruitment stages.
Verification of Qualifications and Credentials
Qualifications and relevant credentials can be important when assessing candidates for specific roles.
eHire’s in-house screening process includes confirmation of candidate credentials and qualifications. During later stages, relevant technical credentials, training records, tickets and licences may also be reviewed when applicable to the position.
This helps employers consider job-related information as part of the candidate evaluation process.
In-Person Interviews
Candidate interviews provide an opportunity to discuss experience, qualifications and suitability for an available position.
Candidates may be invited for an in-person interview when appropriate for the role. Information gathered during interviews can be reviewed alongside screening results and employer requirements.
Skills Evaluation
Certain roles may require additional skills evaluation.
Following an interview, skills or psychometric assessments may be conducted when relevant to the position. This helps ensure that candidate evaluation reflects the requirements of the individual job rather than applying the same assessment process to every role.
A Structured Recruitment Process
Background screening is one part of a broader recruitment workflow at eHire Staffing Solutions.
The process may include:
- Candidate sourcing through the eHire database
- In-house screening
- Reference and background checks
- In-person interviews
- Skills evaluation where applicable
- Employee placement
- Client follow-up after placement
Using multiple recruitment stages can help employers review candidates in an organized manner before making staffing decisions.
Supporting Temporary and Permanent Hiring
Different employers have different workforce requirements. Some businesses may need temporary workers to respond to employee absences or increased workloads, while others may be recruiting for longer-term positions.
eHire Staffing Solutions provides temporary and permanent recruitment solutions and supports employers through different stages of the hiring process.
Background screening can be included where appropriate based on the role and employer requirements.
Follow-Up After Employee Placement
Candidate evaluation does not necessarily end once an employee is placed.
eHire Staffing Solutions also follows up with clients regarding placement factors such as performance, attendance and personal compatibility. This provides an additional stage of communication after the recruitment and placement process.
