Telecommunications

Telecommunications firms face shortages of skilled labour and a high demand for entry-level workers.  Many of your employees handle sensitive personal information about your customers, while others have access to physical or intellectual property.  The result is a complex workforce with particular background checking requirements.  Employers in the telecom sector look for Speed and Accuracy of Results, while also insisting on high capabilities when it comes to Service Ordering and Data Security.

Case Study - Telecommunications One of only three telecommunications companies operating throughout Canada sought out BackCheck’s pre-employment screening services to aid in their cost reduction strategy. As a multi-provincial organization, the cost of a fragmented in-house pre-employment screening process was a mounting problem. The inability of a central hiring manager to audit the progress of the 6000 yearly candidate files lent itself to inefficiency and waste. BackCheck’s pre-employment screening solution brought solidarity, speed, and accuracy to the process. Working within the client’s human resource guidelines, ineligible candidates were quickly eliminated from the hiring pool allowing the hiring managers to focus more attention on their potential candidates.
