Recruitment isn't easy - particularly when the some applicants aren’t necessarily honest. Many of the tasks associated with recruitment are less about finding the best person for the job and more about simply stopping the wrong individuals being hired.
Things become even more complicated where an organisation is dealing with vulnerable individuals. Public protection is a very serious issue indeed.
There are many tools available to the recruiter to assist them with separating the good from the bad. Keeping up to date with best practice can help your organisation, its customers or service users, and its employees to avoid trouble.
IRS’s latest survey deals with just this topic. If your organisation conducts any form of background check please consider taking part. Completing our survey guarantees you a free copy of the research report.
Research that IRS conducted in 2005 focused purely on the Criminal Records Bureau. We found that despite reservations about the quality of the disclosure service (subscription required), the overwhelming majority of our contacts believed that being able to conduct CRB background checks has helped their organisations to recruit more safely. Is this still the case today?
Please contact Neil Rankin by email or phone (direct line) 020 8652 2255 if you have any questions regarding this research.
As ever, you can find out more about IRS surveys here.
