Why is the recruitment process so important?
Prevent a mis-hire
As an organisation, it is important to have a clear job description for a particular vacancy. By communicating clearly in the job description, for example by mentioning that a screening is part of the application process, many candidates can prepare well and know what to expect. The effectiveness of the recruitment and selection process will be strengthened if a thorough screening process finds the right match for the position.
Reduce the risk of reputational damage
During the recruitment and selection process, it is important to screen carefully. Hiring someone whose background (i.e. as visible in a VOG or an internet check) is not in line with your organisation’s values can lead to reputational damage. By means of a screening, you can avoid these risks and protect the reputation of your company.
Comply with laws and regulations
As an organisation, you want to avoid legal disputes at all times, which is why it is important to ensure a fair and transparent procedure. Hiring a new employee involves several legal obligations and rules. For example, respecting privacy legislation or observing equal opportunities during the process. In this way, you not only minimise the risk of legal conflicts, but you also demonstrate that you value integrity and compliance with the law as an organisation.
Optimise the recruitment and selection procedure through screening
By screening your applicants, you can easily optimise your recruitment and selection process. In fact, 71% of CVs contain lies. These lies range from the declaration of unobtained diplomas to work experiences that turn out to be incorrect. It is therefore important that what is on the CV is checked.
By asking applicants for the necessary diplomas and certificates in advance, you can quickly and easily check whether they meet the right qualifications for the position.
You can easily check these documents via DISA, a secure screening partner. By indicating in advance that the diplomas and certificates will be checked, you prevent people with bad intentions, such as forging the documents, from moving forward in the process.
In addition, this contributes to a transparent and fair selection procedure. This protects the integrity and reputation of your organisation.
A Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) shows that someone has never exhibited undesirable behaviour in the past. For a company, this is an extra check to see if someone is suitable for a specific position.
Checking someone’s identity is a standard procedure, but it is still necessary to prevent fraud. An example of this is our ID check. In addition to the ID check, we at DISA also offer the PID check.
When the references are verified, you check whether a candidate has completed the correct work experience. A reference can also provide insights into a candidate’s presentations.
