“What background checks are other companies searching?” This is a question we often hear from HR professionals like you when we begin consulting on the current state of background checks. The most up-to-date trends can be an easy and obvious starting point for evaluating your background screening strategy.
Observations about what background information your peers are reviewing in their hiring process is one of many factors to ground your background screening strategy. In response to this need, Verified Credentials compiled top product trends and industry information to help you create better background screening strategy plans by knowing what your in-market peers are reviewing in candidate background reports.
Based on our research, Verified Credentials has released its first-ever Background Screening Usage Trends Report by Industry. This report relies on multiple indicators of background check product usage and screening package trends across a dozen major industries.
In this new 2020 research report, we examined usage trends for different background checks across all employers. Additionally, we looked at hundreds of mid-sized to large companies in the U.S. in over a dozen industries, including technology, healthcare, construction, staffing, professional services, hospitality, finance/banking, education, government, and more.
While this is our first year to release this report to the public, Verified Credentials has been closely monitoring background screening industry trends over our 36 years in business. Most recently, we have observed some trends to watch closely in 2020. Follow these fastest-growing trends based on year-over-year increases between 2018 and 2019:
