Correct Employment Verification Doesn’t Get Any Easier than this
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009One important way the companies are discovering to save money is by trimming the time it takes to complete average jobs. Employment Verification is routinely one of the biggest hassles that human resources employees face on a regular basis. Between inaccurate information and companies unwilling to return phone calls or answer emails, an average human resources employee can spend up to eight hours, out of a forty hour week, chasing down the employment verifications, in order to keep the hiring process running smoothly. This amounts to about twenty percent of an employee’s time. Any potential savings in this area are sure to be welcomed by managers across the country.
Once you submit the information, the previous employer should receive a fax or email notification and will respond. Also, the previous employer has an option to rate the employee on specific categories such as attendance and performance if they choose. Once the previous employer is done, you will receive an email notification. At that point, you will be able to log into your online account and view the information and even print it out if you need to.
It can really be that easy.There are only a couplemajor steps which need to be taken by companies before using this system. First, the employment application needs to be altered so that it includes a section where the applicant gives their authorization for the background check and Employment Verification. Second, the hiring company needs to create an account with VeraTrack. Pricing is quite competitive, and a company that is conducting under 100 verifications a month can expect to spend nine dollars per use. Most likely, that cost is significantly lower than the cost of the employee’s time to track everything manually.
