Screening in the Energy sector: planning for a bright future

Accurate knows that while employment and employee checks are vital they cannot be allowed to slow down the hiring process. Staffing levels must remain appropriate within energy businesses and the company’s ability to bring in new staff should not be compromised.

This is why the industry can benefit from using a dedicated screening company that understands what is required and can deliver on time and at scale. Screening processes can also be tailored according to the role required, ensuring a smooth and appropriate service every time.

Technology has played a part in making checks faster and more environmentally friendly. The advent of Digital ID has reduced paperwork and the need for individuals to travel to prove their identity, thereby reducing the carbon footprint associated with some aspects of employment checking.

At the same time, social media technology has opened new avenues for employee checks. Screening candidate and employee use of this media gives employers an insight into their behavior and beliefs. Such checks can signal ‘red flags’ for employers, offering the chance to understand and manage the risk around an individual.

Accurate recognises that undergoing screening can be stressful for the candidate and may be concerning for employers. This is why we offer a personal service that always ensures those involved are reassured and involved in the process.
