All employers use some degree of background check system in their hiring decisions. Some employ a criminal search, while others use several screening reports, drug screening, and assessment testing to help reach their decisions.  Another option that helps employers obtain additional information for on the job candidates background and past behavior is Fingerprinting.

1:  locations. Think about it: If you have an applicant who needs to get fingerprinted, do they want to have to drive an hour to the fingerprinting location? NO WAY! The long driving requirements may end up weeding out great candidates, or holding up your hiring process because the candidate keeps procrastinating to get this complete because of the distance. Make it simple and easy as possible to fingerprint  candidates. Choose a company with a  centrally-located place that will accommodate the hours of the day you need.  Talk with a vendor can help offer the times and hours you may need,

2: Turn around times. Fingerprinting for background screening is often the factor that holds up the entire hiring process! While you don’t have control over when the candidate chooses to be fingerprinted, you can ask your vendor how long it takes them to return results. Request documented turn times so you can work them into your decision making process as soon as possible.

3: Technology considerations. Communicating electronically through platforms the employer already uses is key to a seamless, trouble-free system. Ask how results are returned, and whether or not the fingerprinting provider is able to integrate with current systems. The easier it is to contact the candidate, move progress along, and receive results, the less stressful and more effective the process will be and the sooner you can get your new employee started.

4: Fingerprinting credentials.  Fingerprinting for background screening demands accuracy and reliability. Ask the vendor where their information comes from, and make certain they are approved in the states you do business, and are an FBI channeler, if applicable. Knowing the returned information is true and accurate is crucial for fingerprinting specifically, and background screening in hiring decisions in general.

With more employers hiring this year than in the recent past, it’s important they maximize the chances of choosing the best, most qualified employees for their open positions.

Whether you are in an industry that requires you to fingerprint job candidates, or are simply choosing to add this solution to your overall screening process, taking these points into consideration helps you choose a vendor that will enhance the accuracy and efficiency of your screening process, and assist in painting a clear, thorough picture of the job candidate.
