Although many have found themselves unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some industries are under strain and seeking to hire new staff. The health sector and online retailers have witnessed big increases in their need for employees, causing them to need to hire quickly and put HR managers under a great deal of stress. Using AI can be helpful, as well as enlisting the services of an online agency accredited with the federal government to assist with background security checks that ensure the clients, employees and the business assets are safe. In order to ensure accurate background checks, employers should inform the employee of the consequences of providing the wrong or inaccurate information, supply a copy of the report to the candidate and double-check on the accuracy of the company that is providing the background check.
