Several checks need to be taken when hiring an individual for a role. In addition to a credit check, those applying for a position will also require DBS Checks and references. Obtaining this information can take time, especially if incorrect details are given during the recruitment process.<\/p>\n
Given the many checks businesses must carry out, many companies can find themselves searching for more efficient ways to complete background screening.<\/p>\n
Companies must use the following steps to ensure that a DBS Checks is carried out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many businesses will already be aware that making requests via post and telephone can take a long time, but the streamlined nature of making requests online is a point worth reinforcing. Although a professional DBS Check provider will be needed to be used for instant results, a request made online will always be processed faster than applications made via other methods.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whether it's an incorrect spelling or the wrong address, not having accurate details when carrying out DBS Checks often means the process must be started again, which can delay the hiring process.<\/p>\n
As such, companies must take time to double-check details with applicants, including their name, address and date of birth. In addition to current addresses, businesses must also confirm the person\u2019s address history for the last five years so the Disclosure and Barring Service can complete the request with the correct information.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Businesses carrying out DBS Checks for the first time must be mindful that there are three variations of the background screening, which are as follows.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Basic DBS Check will detail any unspent convictions a person has.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Standard DBS Check will show spent and unspent convictions, plus any cautions or warnings issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An Enhanced DBS Check will contain the same information as a Standard DBS Check but will also include details held on the Police National Computer. An Enhanced DBS Check can also include a Children\u2019s and Adults Barred List Check.<\/p>\n
Knowing which DBS Check is needed for each job applicant ensures that there is little need to resubmit DBS Checks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although ordering a DBS Check is straightforward, this doesn\u2019t mean the process is the best fit for a business or organisation. Fortunately, a company doesn\u2019t have to go it alone when dealing with background screening, as a professional agency can streamline the process and offer immediate results and fast processing times regarding physical certificates.<\/p>\n
Whether you want to run background screening on one individual or several, enlisting the services of a professional third party ensures that all checks are completed promptly, allowing a business to streamline its hiring process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
