“Navigating New Territory” reveals global and
regional background screening and recruitment trends
HireRight Holdings Corporation (NYSE: HRT), a leading provider
of global background screening services and workforce solutions,
today announced the release of its 2023 Global Benchmark Report,
titled “Navigating New Territory.” This comprehensive report draws
from the survey responses of more than 2,000 human resource, risk,
and talent acquisition professionals worldwide, shared between
February 15 and March 12, 2023, to identify global background
screening, talent acquisition, and workforce management trends.
The report provides a regional side-by-side comparison of the
global survey responses, benchmarks findings against HireRight’s
past years’ survey data, and includes global and regional overviews
from HireRight’s business leaders in North America, Europe, the
Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), Asia-Pacific (APAC) and India, and
Latin America.
Key global findings include:
- Recruitment carried on as expected for half of companies in
2022, with two-fifths saying they hired more workers to meet
increased demands on their businesses.
- The number of employees working remotely is expected to
stabilize this year, with a slight decline predicted in APAC. EMEA
businesses are the most likely to have over half their employees
working remotely in some capacity.
- Education and employment verification checks remain far more
prevalent outside of North America, despite many North American
respondents acknowledging the occurrence of candidate discrepancies
during these checks.
- The utilization of criminal record checks has increased across
all regions compared with the past three years. In North America,
they remain the most widely conducted pre-employment background
checks.
- Globally, more businesses reported using an applicant tracking
system (ATS) in 2023, rising from two-fifths of respondents in 2022
to half of respondents this year. Additionally, one in 10 companies
expect to start using an ATS by the end of 2023.
Similar talent acquisition challenges are expected to persist
across all regions in the coming years. Respondents globally agreed
that primary recruitment obstacles during the next three years
(2024-2026) will revolve around the difficulties finding qualified
job candidates and meeting their expectations regarding benefits
and perks. Furthermore, a growing focus on fostering diversity,
equity, and inclusion (DEI) in their workforce was identified as a
significant challenge for 58% of EMEA businesses and 39% of North
American businesses.
To support effective talent management, the most widely used
retention tactics in 2022 were introducing new wellbeing
initiatives and offering additional training and professional
development opportunities; these are expected to remain so
throughout 2023. More frequent salary reviews in North America and
APAC and funding for professional qualifications or tuition in EMEA
round out the top three tactics in each region respectively.
“I am thrilled to share HireRight’s 2023 Global Benchmark
Report, our 16th annual benchmarking report, revealing some of the
latest global and regional trends in background screening,
recruitment, remote working, and retention,” said Guy Abramo,
President and CEO of HireRight. “In times of uncertainty, market
insights can be invaluable to help businesses adapt to not only
survive but thrive, and I sincerely hope that this year’s report
will help its readers to do just that.”
