The rise in remote working has given employers new opportunities and new challenges, including during the hiring process. CredentialCheck, a nationwide background screening company, offers tips for screening remote applicants effectively and with full legal compliance. 

More workers than ever are seeking remote job opportunities. However, identifying the perfect professional for a position remains challenging. CredentialCheck has assisted countless employers with this process, and they recommend that companies take the following actions:

Determine the Necessary Qualities for the Role

Working on-site and working from home are very different. Someone who might’ve been a great fit for a role in the office may struggle to perform the same role remotely. Thus, hiring managers must determine not only what qualifies someone for the job function but for the remote environment as well.

Generally speaking, the best remote workers are self-motivated and work well independently. Time management poses no problem for them, and they communicate with ease when problems arise—and before. Finally, it cannot be overlooked how important it is that remote workers be tech-savvy since they will likely need to utilize more programs than in-office workers and troubleshoot on their own more often.

Double-Check Screening Regulations

Hiring from outside the state, city, or country can introduce legislation that’s unfamiliar to employers. Thus, it’s prudent to double-check the screening regulations that are relevant to the process. To simplify matters, most organizations partner with a background screening company with the expertise to navigate remote hiring quandaries.
