For decades, pre-employment background screening has been helping organisations hire the right candidates for the right roles. These checks hold good till a candidate gets on board. But what if one of your existing employees commits a crime, revokes their license, or loses work authorisation? Continuous Background Screening (otherwise called rolling background checks or continuous monitoring) can help you mitigate any risks. Let\u2019s look at what continuous background screening is and how it transforms the background check for employment industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is Continuous Real-Time Pre Employment Screening?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Global enterprises generally take the approach of conducting background verifications on candidates to ascertain the data that they present at the interview. One-time background verifications help organisations check candidate data while hiring but not after that. New forward-looking entrants have been disrupting the background screening industry with this trend. The continuous background screening process is a systematic technique and is not completely new. Companies can perform real-time background checks on employees to identify internal threats and flag them immediately when found. It is a post-hire employment screening process that applies to any specific part (or all) of your workforce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying informed about the employees\u2019 background is as important, or conceivably, more important than verifying the candidates\u2019 data when they initially apply. Certain regulated industries have been performing some form of continuous background check of employees as it is a mandate \u2013 but most of them are not real-time. The best examples include high-risk industries like transportation, healthcare, and finance. But with the advent of rapidly evolving technology, real-time background screening that uses online record databases and digital platforms has allowed taking a proactive approach toward risk mitigation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s take a deeper look at how this works. CRI Group\u2122 looks for any change in candidates\u2019 background data. It identifies them so that organisations can stay away from possible risks. When the background screening software detects an employee\u2019s data change, it notifies the employee and begins verification. Furthermore, the tool will allow candidates disqualified due to criminal violations to resurface after an allowed time frame. This will empower employers to give a second chance to the employees and perform a more comprehensive pre employment background check on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Alarm Bell<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Continuous background screening still has a paramount need to comply with regulatory policies. In addition to being compliant with global regulations, organisations must adhere to the state and local laws that pertain to disclosure and authorisation requirements and adverse action processes. It is recommended to follow the rules of\u00a0<\/span>the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0when any issues arise due to removing an employee based on the screening results.<\/span><\/p>\n

The regulations demand the employer to get written consent from the employees before a background verification starts. Employers should take immense care to make the consent clear enough, failing which a new notice and fresh consent need to be provided the next time. But, even though the federal law\u00a0<\/span>(FCRA)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0accepts such practices, the state or local law might not (<\/span>Californian laws<\/span><\/a>, for instance).<\/span><\/p>\n

HR teams need to be prepared for the worst \u2013 when an employee refuses to authorise a background verification stating it as a privacy intrusion. Hence, designing a screening program that adheres to global and local compliance is key.<\/span><\/p>\n

CRI Group\u2122 can help companies nip bad employees in the bud, thus ensuring the brand image is not affected by bad hires. Yet, surprisingly, an <\/span>SHRM study<\/span><\/a>\u00a0states that only 4% of 6500 HR professionals said that their companies performed rolling background checks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Employers should revisit their screening programs and incorporate technology-powered techniques like real-time screening, so they do not go blind in the interim.<\/span><\/p>\n
