Is your background screening process built for how you actually hire? For large organisations, the hiring journey for graduates, executives, contractors and internal promotions is different, meaning the background screening process should be different too. This checklist gives Talent and People leaders 12 questions to test whether their screening process matches the complexity of their business, or if it's creating risk, unnecessary admin and an inconsistent candidate experience instead.
