Rescreening involves conducting background checks on current employees after they’ve been hired. This can occur at regular intervals (like annually) or when an employee’s role changes. It's a proactive approach to ensure that employees continue to meet the qualifications and standards required for their positions.
✅ Why Rescreen Employees?
Companies choose to rescreen for several key reasons:
Qualification: Employees’ licenses or certifications may expire, and their records can change over time. Rescreening ensures that staff remain qualified for their roles.
Safety: For positions involving customer interaction or access to sensitive information, rescreening helps maintain a safe and trustworthy workplace.
Compliance: Regulations and industry standards often mandate periodic background checks to maintain certifications, insurance policies, and legal compliance.
Think of the initial background check as a snapshot; rescreening provides ongoing updates to that picture.
⚠️ Challenges with Traditional Rescreening
Many organizations recognize the importance of rescreening but find it logistically challenging. Traditional methods can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, leading some companies to postpone or avoid implementing regular rescreening protocols.
🚀 Making Rescreening Manageable
Modern solutions, like Yardstik's platform, aim to simplify the rescreening process for employers. Yardstik's system can:
Seamless data integration: Employee information can be pulled from any system—CRM, ATS, HRIS, or others—without making the background check provider the system of record.
One-click bulk rescreening: Rescreens can be initiated for tens, hundreds, or thousands of employees with a single action.
Zero disruption for employees: Rescreens run quietly in the background, allowing employees to remain focused without repeating previous tasks.
By leveraging such technologies, companies can maintain compliance and safety standards without overburdening their HR teams.
