Background
According to a study, 48% of employers said that they benefitted from background screening in terms of their data safety and security. When you’re making recruitment decisions with the vision of having a long-term resource, screening your candidates can prove to be a very smart investment in this regard. Now some of you would argue that screening isn’t necessary when the candidate has come from a referral or from a credible source that you deem worthy. However, that’s not always accurate.
Risks
Screening your candidates can help eliminate any future risk that may be problematic for your company. It just means that anything increasing the probability of risking the reputation of your company can be a threat and vetting your candidates properly might just help you in eliminating that
risk at all.

Hiring can be a time-consuming process. It is important that you as employers view it as an investment in the future of your company. Candidates’ screening and background checks ensure that hiring is done
right, so that you don’t have to switch between candidates repetitively.
The analysis of background checks
The important thing for you employers is to realize that screening and background checks vary from role to role. For instance, if your company is looking for a finance specialist, then reference checks from previous employers and universities will add to the credibility of the candidate. Now you would argue that if a degree is a basic requirement for the role then why you as employers need to get it validated. The reason is that more than 40% of the candidates disclosed that they have lied about something on their CV’s, and it is better to be safe than sorry. So, these reference checks and vetting of candidates will ensure long-term and accurate hiring decisions.
