Many companies are successfully reducing the number of unwanted applications they need to sort through to hire for an open position within their company. An unwanted application is one that the applicant is embellishing their experience or education, padding their resume, or flat out declining (or denying) to disclose pertinent information like a criminal history.
In order to decrease these unwanted applications, companies, both large and small are starting change their hiring practices, starting by rewording their applications.
Somewhere on the application, whether it is computerized or on paper, there is wording stating that the job requires a through check to be conducted before final approval to be hired. Next is a signature line for the applicant to authorize the check to be completed.
What major hiring companies and managers are finding is that significant quantities of questionable applicants are declining to turn in their applications.
They know that they have potential red flags in their history that they do not want to come up. Instead of completing the application, they move on to the next business that does not require a background check.
In the meantime, you are left with fewer overall applications to sort through. Of those remaining applications, you are left with better overall applicants.
They are more honest about any previous criminal activity, previous work history, and can actually validate their education and degrees earned. They are not afraid of any background or criminal screenings because they have nothing to hide.
