In the hospitality industry, where personal interactions are paramount, hiring the right candidate is essential to represent a company's brand and ensure the safety of workers and clients. By integrating comprehensive background measures, such as identity verification, criminal searches and sex offender searches, companies can add an extra layer of protection. Here are five key components of a thorough background check tailored for the hospitality sector:

1. Decrease Time-to-Hire

In a competitive job market, delays in the hiring process can discourage candidates. Given the high demand for hospitality workers, an efficient and fast screening process is crucial to secure the best talent. With rapid turnaround times, such as ones provided by Turn, companies can expedite the hiring process and have candidates ready to start their roles promptly.

2. Customizable Screening Packages

Every hospitality establishment has unique hiring needs, necessitating the flexibility to customize background screening processes accordingly. A range of screening products, including Social Security Number traces, county and nationwide criminal checks, and National Sex Offender Registry searches, should be available. Turn offers a consultative approach to tailor screening programs to meet individual requirements effectively.

3. Scalability

Hospitality organizations often have multiple locations across different regions. Therefore, it is crucial to partner with a screening provider that can efficiently manage screening processes across various locations and customize screenings based on different roles. Turn’s technology helps streamline the screening process, making scalability achievable.

4. Compliance and Risk Mitigation

Compliance with ever-evolving rules and regulations is challenging for HR teams. A comprehensive background screening process should prioritize both thoroughness and compliance. Partnering with a screening provider like Turn that possesses extensive industry experience, deep legal understanding, and a commitment to staying up-to-date with hiring laws is crucial.

5. Industry Expertise and Partnership

The hospitality industry is complex. A background screening vendor with specialized expertise in the hospitality sector can offer industry benchmarking, compliance knowledge, and tools to optimize hiring programs.
