Both probationary periods and background checks are designed to ensure that an employee's abilities and background meet the requirements of the company, but they differ in their approach and focus.
The probationary period is mainly for enterprises to evaluate the work performance of new employees, understand their professional skills, work attitude, communication skills and teamwork skills. If during the probationary period, the employee's performance meets the expectations of the company, then the employee may be officially hired.
The background check is mainly to verify the background information of new employees, such as education, work experience, professional qualifications, credit history, etc., to avoid recruiting employees with bad records or who do not meet the requirements of the enterprise.
Although the probationary period can preliminarily determine whether an employee meets the requirements of the enterprise, a background check can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the employee's background and experience, which can help the company better assess the employee's true ability and personality characteristics, and avoid recruiting employees with bad records.
In addition, the time cost, salary cost, and labor cost spent on the background investigation and the probation period will be different, if you can background the investigation before entering the company, and find the problem early, you can greatly reduce all kinds of costs.
Back Notes:Different positions, the depth of the background adjustment is different, and the time of the background adjustment varies according to the depth of the background adjustment, usually ranging from 1 to 8 days.
Probationary period:The trial period varies from company to company, usually ranging from 1 to 6 months.
Back Notes:Depending on the depth of the back, there are hundreds or thousands.
Probationary period:At least a few thousand, the higher the position, the longer the time, the higher the cost.
Back Notes:Enterprises usually entrust a third party to conduct background investigation, and the company's HR can mainly cooperate with the communication.
Probationary period:It needs to consume a series of human resources such as job handover, induction training, and re-recruitment interviews.
Back Notes:Pre-employment background investigation, early detection of problems, timely risk avoidance, almost no risk cost.
Probationary period:If you hire workers who are subject to non-compete obligations, have not terminated labor relations, "professional wage fraud" gangs, commercial espionage, industry blacklists, and have bad records, it is likely to bring legal risks, economic losses, and reputational damage to the enterprise.
Therefore, even if there is a probationary period, businesses still need to conduct background checks to ensure that the recruited employees meet the requirements and standards of the business.
