How Businesses in the state of NSW in Australia Save Money on Pre-Employment Screening

Recruiting agents in New South Wales are following the national trend of introducing stringent pre-employment screening checks. The main reason behind this trend is to reduce employee turnover by making sure the people they hire meet the company’s needs and won’t become a liability in the future.

Organized Employees

One of the most important tools NSW businesses can use is running a national police check on any new employee. And it doesn’t have to increase costs. Here’s what you need to know to implement this new employment policy in your company.

What are online background checks?

In case you didn’t know that already, there’s a new way of doing criminal history checks on employees. And we have modern technology to thank for that.

Instead of directing your new employees to go to the police station and waste their time with local bureaucrats to get their national police check, you can use one of the online background check agencies that do the same thing with virtually no red tape.

What you must know is that such agencies are fully accredited Australia’s Criminal Commission and their background checks are 100% reliable. The fact is that, being accredited with the government, they can provide legitimate background checks. Say you are based in New South Wales (NSW) and you order a national police check NSW with such an agency; what they will do is run the name of the employee through all the databases. If they were convicted of an offence in the state of Victoria or Western Australia, it will appear on the police check.

Online background checks are becoming increasingly popular because they’re very straightforward. The process of ordering a police check through such an agency is highly intuitive and only takes a few minutes. And you get the police clearance in 1-2 business days, delivered straight to your email.

The costs of online checks are very affordable, and they allow you to save money by reducing long hiring times.

Why are background checks essential for a successful business?

The main benefit of strict pre-employment screening checks is that it saves your business a lot of money in the future. If, for instance, you hire someone without running a background check on them, that person may very well turn out to be a thief, a sexual predator or someone with a violent behavior. When you discover your new employee is stealing from you or is harassing your female employees, you will have to fire them. And replace them, which costs a lot more than a quick background check.

According to one study, the cost of replacing one employee in a low-paying job, under $30,000 a year, represents 16% of their annual salary. For mid-range employees, those who earn between $30-40,000 per year, the percentage rises to 20% of their annual salary. You’ll have to spend $8,000 to replace an employee that makes $40,000 a year.

That’s quite a lot of money, money you can save by using an inexpensive online background check to make sure you hire a decent fellow that doesn’t have a criminal history.
