Times are changing, and the resources required to conduct background searches and investigations have strained businesses worldwide. With a dramatic rise in business liability associated with hiring the wrong individuals and the increase in penalties imposed on companies that extend from C-suites to Boards of Directors, businesses are taking a closer look at the systems, procedures and resources utilised to screen potential job candidates. It is important to know that the BS7858:2012 standard has been replaced with the new BS7858:2019 standard. The British Standards Institutions have released a new edition that has brought the standard up to date and features many changes. BS 7858:2019 employee screening offers you the complete solution now.<\/span><\/p>\n In balancing the effectiveness and accuracy of a background screening investigation with the limited time normally allowed to conduct such a search, the onus falls chiefly on the screening firm and its ability to acquire timely information. The Global Community has become one collective hiring pool. Thanks to technology, a top candidate for a high-level position in one corner of the world might hail from a remote province on the opposite side of the globe. This poses a significant problem for organisations looking to acquire the best talent:<\/span><\/p>\n The premise behind the standard is to safeguard employers from bad or fraudulent hires. The price of a bad hire has far-reaching consequences for any business, including productivity loss, decreased employee morale, risks to employee safety, increased exposure to costly negligent hiring claims, and potentially devastating litigation. Cases of organisations that forego conducting due diligence on a new hire \u2013 especially a hire with high-risk exposure \u2013 often end badly for those organisations. Due to COVID-19, times are changing, and the resources required to conduct background searches and investigations have strained businesses worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At CRI\u00ae, we know how important is your background screening to your company’s success and to give you an idea of what is new, we have produced this playbook detailing the differences between the BS7858:2012 standard and the new BS7858:2019 standard.<\/span><\/p>\n BS 7858:2019 accredited companies (such as CRI\u00ae) highlight to their clients that their security personnel are staff that can be trusted and relied upon to complete a high-quality job.
