Integrated Background Screening Is Critical to Efficient and Compliant Hiring

By PrismHR

Employers who leverage applicant tracking systems (ATS) already understand the value in faster, more efficient recruiting of the most qualified candidates. There are lots of additional steps involved in the hiring process, such as background screening or drug testing. 

To make the hiring process truly efficient, employers should also leverage an ATS-integrated background screening solution.

According to PrismHR’s 2020 HRO Trends Report, HR service providers anticipate that two of the top challenges that SMBs will face are “finding qualified employees” and “staying compliant with local, state, and federal regulation.” 

The report also indicates that 77% of SMBs engage in employment background checks.  While a relatively high percentage, it is notably lower than the 94% of employers who conduct background checks, according to the 2020 Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) – HR.com annual report.
