As employers try to maintain their current workforce in healthy ways and look for new avenues for filling open positions during this pandemic, some employers have begun exploring opportunities of working remotely. We all know that a diverse, distributed team adds efficiency and improves the overall chances of success for a business. In times of crisis and uncertainty, it’s resilience that helps companies to emerge stronger on the other side. While remote hiring is in response to a short-term event, it may have long-term benefits for businesses and employees.
Hiring employees for remote positions requires a different set of interviewing and onboarding skills. However, there is one standard piece of pre-employment screening that should not change – a background check. A background check is one of the most effective recruiting tools for maintaining a safe and compliant workforce. Background checks help protect companies and their reputation, saves time and money by reducing turnover, helps mitigate risk, and provides confirmation of a candidate’s credentials and honesty.
