First, before joining the job
Generally, the background investigation is conducted on the applicants who have passed the interview process, and the time is arranged from the end of the interview to the beginning of employment, with a relatively small workload. However, for senior management positions, it is best to make a callback after passing the initial test. If you find many problems with back tone, you can make a targeted investigation during the second interview.
Advantages: Once fraud is discovered, the employer can handle it flexibly and reduce the risk.
Disadvantages: Time is tight and the investigation may not be sufficient. Candidates may also join other companies because of the long waiting time, resulting in the loss of outstanding talents in the employer.
Second, after joining the company
The probation period for employees and enterprises is generally 1-6 months, which can be fully adjusted without worrying about the loss of excellent employees.
Advantages: It can attract outstanding talents as soon as possible.
Disadvantages: Enterprises will bear great legal risks when dismissing employees. If employees have professional ethics problems, it will bring great losses to enterprises.
The best practice in the industry is that background checks can be conducted before most ordinary positions are employed, and key positions for emergency recruitment can be adjusted after they are employed, and corresponding preventive plans need to be made in law.
