Why Ordering Background Screening Packages Provides Better Value Than A La Carte



When it comes to background screening, ordering a pre-designed package offers significant advantages over selecting individual reports one at a time. For businesses, packages streamline the process and ensure that every report is precisely tailored to their hiring needs, without the hassle of manually adding each report. Here’s why choosing packages is a smart, efficient choice for any hiring process.


1. Order Consistency and Reduced Oversight

Using a background check package guarantees consistency across all screening orders, ensuring that the same set of reports is ordered for every candidate or position. This standardization prevents key reports from being missed or unnecessary ones from being included, which can lead to extra expenses. A set package means that HR professionals don’t have to remember or guess which reports are necessary each time, as they’ll have the same comprehensive list of checks for each hire.


Example: If your organization requires county and statewide searches, a package can cap the number of searches included to meet your needs, such as the three most recent counties of residence in the past seven years. By setting these parameters, you can balance thoroughness with cost-effectiveness.


2. Tailored Packages for Different Roles

Each position in a company may have different requirements for background checks. For instance, higher-level roles might demand a more intensive screening process, while roles that involve working with vulnerable populations may require additional checks, such as Sex Offender Registry (SOR) searches. Using specialized packages for various roles ensures that all necessary reports are automatically included based on the unique needs of the position.


Customizable Solutions: Multiple packages can be created for different positions and saved in the system with clear labels. This allows you to choose the correct package based on the role’s needs without risking under- or over-screening, ensuring compliance and relevance.


3. Seamless Integration with the EZyAPP Process

VeriCorp’s EZyAPP process makes it easy for users to select the correct package when sending out background check invites. At the time of sending an EZyAPP invite, clients can select a package appropriate to the position. This streamlined approach allows clients to ensure compliance and ease of use, especially since packages are necessary to complete the EZyAPP process. This level of integration reduces the time spent managing orders and improves the overall efficiency of hiring workflows.


The Bottom Line

Choosing background screening packages over a la carte ordering promotes consistency, controls costs, and ensures that each candidate is screened according to the needs of their position. Packages are particularly valuable for simplifying complex hiring processes and guaranteeing that no important checks are overlooked.


At VeriCorp, we understand that each role requires specific screening measures. Our tailored packages allow businesses to customize their screening approach while ensuring every hire is handled with accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.
