Employers globally are focusing on security in the workplace as a critical element of their success.
According to a recent SHRM study, over 95 percent of North American employers conduct background or reference checks on new job applicants. Since contingent workers and other non-traditional employees can comprise over 30 percent of a company’s total workforce, it is essential for employers to ensure that all worksite personnel are screened equally to minimize risk.
How It Works
Contractors, vendors, temporary employees and other individuals that work in your company and can access your critical data can put you at risk. Corporate information systems, finances, customer and employee information and a wide range of other assets available to contractors should be protected and those with access screened to the same level as employees. First Advantage now offers employers of all sizes a fast, Web-based solution for performing background verifications on their contractor workforce.
First Advantage provides clients a branded Web-site that allows for fast, flexible processing of background verifications. The site allows employers access to contractor screening status and a broad range of reporting tools. By providing First Advantage the criteria for their contractors’ background verifications, the employer can view instant “pass/fail/pending” results online for any contractor before allowing them access to their worksite. Additionally, the contractor screening site can be designed to have contractor agencies pay for their own background verifications, offsetting the cost for employers.
