Heading into the second quarter of
2014, conjecture for the remainder of the year ahead in the background
screening industry is inevitable. And it’s safe to say that background checks
in 2014 will be all about data and technology.
A dominant trend potentially reshaping
the role of HR in the corporate world, relates to the rapid growth of the
knowledge economy. An article, published in The Economist, quotes, “In
this environment, a committed, appropriately skilled and prudently deployed
workforce is critical in order to outstrip the competition.” Talent acquisition
specialists have the ability to exploit their expertise in people, and place
themselves at the core of corporate strategy through the use of big data and
cutting edge technology.
Each year, HR professionals request
millions of background screens and drug tests to support critical business
hiring decisions. In this capacity, more data, better data, and stronger
analytics lead to a more legitimate talent acquisition strategic plan. That is
why over 3,500 customers globally have chosen Aurico as their background
screening and drug testing provider.
Since 1991, Aurico Reports, Inc. has explored new and creative ways to utilize data and technology to benefit HR professionals. One of its most noted achievements is the design of the award winning proprietary WebACE™ application.
Whether standalone or integrated into
an ATS/HRIS platform, WebACE™ adapts well to discrete HR processes and aligns
aptly with overall business objectives.
Mingling data that requires secure transport, consistency as it moves
from order entry through reporting, and rigid conditions to meet numerous
compliance regulations is often complex. Integrating systems is challenging and
demands inherently flexible and fluid system architecture. The fully automated
and secure transmission of order information and applicant data from any
ATS/HRIS in the marketplace into WebACE™, and then seamless transfer of results
back into the secure portal for viewing and reporting, is nimbly executed by
Aurico.
With over 700 points of customization
and access to 75+ pieces of analytic data, employers are able to independently
construct the right combination of data analytics, processing speed, pricing
control, and risk mitigation. Customers use WebACE™ as an electronic filing
cabinet, multi-lingual paperless screening solution, batch processor, legally
compliant adjudication framework, adverse action manager, and applicant
assessment tracking mechanism.
In addition, the robust abilities to
capture discrete data points, interact with them through reporting instruments,
and share information across teams, drive astute business decisions. As a metric driven platform, WebACE™
synthesizes information to interpret HR performance, productivity, and talent
acquisition trends. This is the business intelligence needed by talent
acquisition leadership to make projections, accurately forecast, and mitigate
hiring risks.
“CEO’s tell me the role HR plays in
their organizations is growing,” said Ben Goldberg, President of Aurico.
“They’re seeing the value of thoroughly vetting candidates for integrity and
character, and want their talent acquisition teams to use the best and most
efficient tools available.” There’s no
better resource for process optimization than Aurico’s WebACE™.
In conclusion, Goldberg said, “It’s
all about empowerment. Give your HR
leadership ways to eliminate time intensive activities such as order entry,
reduce financial exposure, overlay an abundance of metrics, and deliver a
predictable service. Then you’ve created true value.”
