Hey HR: Are You Paperless Yet?

Technology is proliferating across all aspects of business and background screening companies are taking full advantage. There are significant options and resources available to automate your screening process no matter the size of your workforce, your organization’s structure or complexity.

Many companies are looking for ways to reduce the time it takes to process background checks. Others want to avoid asking applicants to provide the same information twice. Some do not want to access multiple systems. And some have goals for going paperless. Regardless of where you align on this list, Aurico is ready to support you. Depending on your applicant pool and its comfort level with technology, options are plentiful.


If applicant access to the Internet is limited, you can provide kiosks or workstations in a recruiting office, however a paper consent form may remain the best alternative for signatures. From there everything else can be paperless. Information can be uploaded or input directly into the secure screening website. Emails can be sent when results are available with real-time progress updates visible on the website.

If applicants are Internet savvy, more options exist. You can use a secure paperless process to collect information and obtain a signature on the consent form. All updates are in real time and results are available anytime. This method is proven to reduce processing times, speed report turnaround, improve data quality and achieve goals of going paperless.

Want more? How about integrating the background screening process directly into the hiring workflow within the Applicant Tracking Systems or Human Resources Information System? Through integration, you can order reports, see status updates and view results within your hiring platform. Applicant data flows between systems securely enabling faster report processing, reducing the number of systems to access and eliminating the need to ask applicants for data twice.

Technology has made it easier and more efficient to screen applicants! What is your company’s process and can Aurico help you go paperless?
