With many applicants falsifying information on job applications, background checks have become a necessary expense when hiring new employees. The problem is that, with many businesses struggling to make ends meet at the moment, the cost of on-boarding workers can be straining. Despite this, the negatives of conducting these investigations are far outweighed by their positives.
Because of the number of companies that provide this service and the need for employers to save money, the background check business has become highly competitive. Hoping to be more capable of retaining past users and attracting new ones, A-Check America, Inc. recently introduced its newest version of the company’s employment screening platform. The company, which provides background checks and drug screening services to employers throughout the globe, has maintained its web-based format, which will make it easier for those who were familial with the older edition to master.
Representatives from the company have said that the new A-Check Direct (TM) 3.0 will help to reduce the cost employers spend on hiring new workers and the amount of time and resources it takes, a feature which likely be very popular with HR managers. This part of the platform helps to eliminate the amount of energy and time spent on ineligible job applicants. This speeds up the overall process significantly.
Another way that the program is able to increase the overall efficiency of the process is that it offers a Progressive Ordering feature that enables employers to enter a minimal amount of the applicant’s information. Then the platform goes ahead and identifies “red flags” that would make an applicant ineligible for hire, without having to go through typing in all of the data. This and other features are not available through other background check providers.
“The new system makes the background check and drug testing process easier, faster and less costly,” said Carlos Lacambra, President of A-Check. “We set out to leverage our development expertise to provide maximum benefits for employers and to solidly affirm A-Check’s position as a technology leader in the employment screening industry. We have achieved those goals with A-Check Direct(TM) 3.0.”
According to A-Ceck’s Director of Operations, Kathi Parlapiano, the changes made to the company’s latest model are the result of carefully studying what their clients need.
“We listened to our clients and worked to eliminate their pain points,” said Parlapiano in a recent press release . “Clients expect us to help them control background screening costs without compromising quality. They want speed, efficiency and flexibility. They want innovative products. They want compliance. A-Check Direct(TM) 3.0 delivers on all fronts.
“A-Check focused on creating the best employment screening platform and now we want to share it with the world,” said Lacambra. “A-Check Direct(TM) 3.0 is truly in a class by itself. Employers now have a screening platform that delivers all employment screening services through one access point, in a clear, cohesive manner.”
