Accuracy of results is the top priority when
choosing a screening provider according to global respondents in
HireRight’s latest annual survey
HireRight, a leading provider of global background screening
services and workforce management solutions, today announced the
release of its 2024 Global Benchmark Report. This comprehensive
report draws from the survey responses of more than 1,250 HR, risk,
and talent acquisition professionals worldwide, collected between
March 7 and March 28, 2024, to identify trends in global background
screening, talent acquisition, and workforce management.
In addition to providing North America, Europe, the Middle East,
and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regional splits of survey
responses, the report compares this year’s data against HireRight’s
past years’ survey results, with insights and commentary from many
of HireRight’s leaders and subject matter experts.
Among this year’s survey findings, almost three-quarters of
global respondents ranked accuracy of results as one of the most
important factors when choosing a screening provider, with speed
and cost both dropping down in the rankings. Additionally, more
than half of global respondents cited the cost of a bad hire as a
main risk their business aims to mitigate through employment
screening, further supporting the need for accuracy in the
background screening process.
Other survey results shared in HireRight’s 2024 Global Benchmark
Report include:
- Most respondents would be comfortable with AI or automation
being used for researching or compiling a screening report if it
led to speeding up the screening process or reducing the risk of
human error.
- Undisclosed criminal records are the most commonly identified
type of candidate discrepancy found by North America employers
during the screening process. In EMEA and APAC, employment and
education discrepancies are far more common.
- More than two-fifths of respondents view their non-compliance
with applicable laws and regulations as a major risk to their
business, suggesting that compliance expertise is seen as a
must-have for many companies when evaluating background screening
providers.
- Economic uncertainty and finding qualified job candidates are
among the top three talent acquisition concerns for survey
respondents from each region this year.
- Globally, almost two-thirds of respondents expect the uptake of
remote and hybrid working to remain roughly the same by the end of
2024. However, 27% of APAC respondents, 19% of EMEA respondents,
and 15% of North America respondents expect it to grow during that
time.
“The findings in HireRight’s 2024 Global Benchmark Report show
that many aspects of background screening, recruitment, and
workforce retention continue changing each year,” said Stephen
Spears, Chief Revenue Officer at HireRight. "With the insights
shared in this report, businesses can better understand the
shifting employment landscape and use our benchmarked data to help
support their organizations’ future talent tactics and
strategies.”
