Candidate Screening FAQs

What is candidate screening?​

When it comes to hiring, the candidate screening process is the procedure of filtering out applications for a role by conducting a pre-employment background check. Screening is an important part of the hiring process removing unqualified or irrelevant candidates, scanning particular documents to prove the identity of a candidate and adhering to government legislations.​

Why do I need candidate screening software?

The recruitment market has not only become increasingly competitive, but also heavily regulated as government legislation continues to change. With new laws, increased data regulations and a tightening of online security, businesses need to work hard to ensure they’re staying compliant and ahead of the game.

In addition, they’re striving to adapt to new ways of working demanded by today’s changing workforce, all while ensuring their screening policies are keeping them compliant and protected.​

How much does background screening software cost?

Pre-employment screening software can really vary in how much it will cost depending what a business requires from their background checks. For instance, a business looking to perform very comprehensive background checks in the form of enhanced DBS would see a higher cost compared to an organisation performing minimal basic DBS checks. Other factors include how many checks would be required on a periodic basis and how quickly the turn around times of those checks are.

Businesses should also be aware and understand that the cost of pre-employment screening is not just about how much the technology initially costs upfront, but how much time and money it can save in the long run by preventing bad hires and potential legal issues.

How long does it take to implement screening software?

There are so many factors to take into consideration when it comes to implementing pre-employment background screening software. Things to consider include the range of checks the business will need to conduct, the time of year that they’re looking to implement, what personnel will be running the implementation project and the time it takes to source the right screening provider. All activities require time and resources to help with the implementation process.

At Access Screening, our average implementation time usually takes around 4 weeks.
