Running an HR department is not an easy task. Shifting priorities, employee demands, recruiting changes and new technologies demand more and more attention of today’s HR professionals. These internal issues do not even take into account the changing applicant demands in a candidate-driven job market.

Today, HR professionals have continually shifting priorities, internal demands, technology upgrades and changes to the job market as applicants demand a transparent, personalized and seamless candidate experience from the moment they hit your career page to their first day in the office. As the battle for high-performing talent increases, employers can no longer afford to have anything less than a consistent and personalized experience for their candidates. Great hiring experiences start with the technology used in an organization’s background screening and onboarding platform.

Before I started at Sterling Talent Solutions, I didn’t know much about background screening. I’m still learning the ins and outs of the processes, but I have come to realize that screening is a critical part of the hiring process. I also learned that background screening is a very highly regulated industry. And while it’s just one step in the hiring process, it’s a very important one. Businesses want to make sure that they are hiring the right people for their company. Employment screening gives employers peace of mind that they are hiring the right candidate for the job with as quick of turnaround as possible.

It’s the first day of a new job. You are already nervous about starting at a new job, finding your way around a new office, meeting new people and taking on new challenges.

I was always afraid if I didn’t give this to the hiring or HR manager, I wouldn’t be able to work. I always wondered if there was a way to make this process less stressful!
