WebCheck provides greater security for e-recruiters

E-recruitment services provider, The Internet Corporation and BackgroundChecking.com, the countryís foremost provider of Background Checks for pre-employment candidates, today signed a deal that gives employers greater peace-of-mind when recruiting.

WebCheck, as the partnership has been called, lets employers add Background Checking into the recruitment process from the moment a candidate applies online for a job.

ìTypically we see a drop in the number of candidates applying for jobs when they realise that Background Checking is going to form part of the recruitment process, often by as much as 15%,î says Nicholas Ricketts, Marketing Director of BackgroundChecking.com. ìThe deterrent value of our brand means that candidate quality is raised and time-wasters and fraudsters dissuaded from applying in the first place. This not only makes the initial sift easier, it saves management time at interview stage and can lead to even greater savings by preventing recruitment mistakes.î

ìOn average it costs around 5,000 to recruit using an agency,î says Mark Kieve, CEO of The Internet Corporation. ìGet it wrong and youíre looking at maybe three times that to get rid of them. WebCheck goes a long way towards giving employers a more rounded service that meets the ever growing demands of corporate governance and regulation.î

ìWebCheck directly augments our AMRIS e-recruitment service. We have just completed the on-line tracking system for WebCheck, which shows customers the status of the checks BackgroundChecking.com is performing for them,î says Kieve. ìCustomers can go on-line at any time and from anywhere, and see candidates grouped by role or department. This is just the first module of what will be a fully integrated application for the inclusion of Background Checking. Weíve built most of the application already and are well into testing.î

Ricketts had this to say: ìMore and more weíre seeing employers using Background Checks across the board. Our flexible system will let employers easily configure the checking levels to suit the role advertised.í
