A new study from Vero Screening has revealed that criminal record checks have seen the greatest increase in importance among UK employers than any other kind of employee screening service since the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the study, more than a third (41%) of companies say screening for criminal activity while making background checks on their employees has become much more important to them in the post-pandemic world than it was before. The findings have been released in Vero’s new whitepaper, The Changing Face of Background Screening, which investigates the issues and challenges businesses are facing when it comes to the recruitment and retention of new skills in the post-pandemic world.
