We are FAST!!
A prime characteristic of the digital age is expected instantaneous responses. While technology and the internet have heightened our ability to answer almost any question in a millisecond, more through research still takes time. Comprehensive background checks are meticulous and require about a day on average to be complete. While the internet vastly decreases search times, a methodical search in each area of a background check will aid in the certainty that your company hired the right people.
Some employers will have a higher turnaround time than others. Victig boasts a quick turnaround time (TAT) for most searches, averaging nearly 3000 searches in just over 1 business day.
Quick Searches versus Lengthy Searches
Some searches take more time than others to run. A detailed reference and educational check, for instance, will take longer to complete than a simple driving record search.
Other record searches that may take a scrupulous amount of time to complete include:
- Criminal record searches and verification
- Professional and personal references
- Educational verification
- Sex-offender registry searches
However, even with the most current internet technology, a comprehensive background search may still average around one to two business days.
Importance of Quick Turnaround Time
Finding the right employee has taken more time than your company has to spare. You needed the perfect hire last week. As a company investing so much in the perfect person, it is vital that you have all the information you need to make the best decision in the most efficient way possible.
There are several points to a background check that take more time than a detective agency will make it look in the movies. Research of this nature will take more time so as to allow for rechecking of records. This keeps background check companies and employers in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Employees are the most valuable asset to any company and a thorough background check can ensure that you are making the best decision in your new hire. Complete confidence in your background check is worth the slight turnaround time that a comprehensive background check may take.
Victig offers some of the fastest background check turnaround times on the market as evidenced here.
