The Hidden Costs of Hiring Background Check Staff

Building and maintaining an in-house team of background verification and screening specialists has hidden costs that we elaborate furthermore.

Direct Cost
First and foremost, there's the direct financial burden of salaries and benefits. Qualified background check specialists command competitive wages, and benefits packages add to the expense. Recruitment costs, including advertising job openings and conducting interviews, also add up quickly.

Indirect Costs
Once hired, new employees require extensive training and onboarding to become familiar with your company's processes and industry standards. This training period represents a significant investment of time and resources. Additionally, ongoing management and supervision of these employees are necessary to ensure consistent performance and adherence to regulations.

Turnover Costs
Employee turnover is another hidden cost that can be exceptionally high in this industry. Replacing staff involves the cost of recruiting and training new employees and the lost productivity during the transition period. This subsequently lead to delays and inconsistencies in the background screening process, affecting your overall efficiency and reputation.

Operational Inefficiencies and Burden

Maintaining this department can lead to operational inefficiencies that further strain your resources.

Continuous Training and Industry Standards
The background screening industry constantly evolves, with new regulations and best practices emerging regularly. Keeping your team up-to-date requires continuous training, which can be time-consuming and costly. This ongoing education is essential to ensure compliance and maintain the quality of your background checks.

Administrative Overhead
Managing an HR team also involves significant administrative workload. From scheduling, hiring and payroll to performance reviews and HR issues, the administrative burden can divert your attention and resources from core business activities. This overhead reduces the time and energy you can devote to delivering exceptional background checks.
