What’s the #1 mistake organisations make when hiring temporary workers (and how can they avoid it)?

The #1 mistake companies make in hiring temporary workers is … not vetting them as if they will be there permanently.

Solution? A Pre-employment screening service especially designed for Temps.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to outline a recruitment solution for your temporary workforce that will dramatically reduce reputation loss and hiring risks, while not interrupting your recruitment processes, and complete vetting assessments in the fastest time possible.

Although we have not yet been able to customise our response to your specific hiring needs and requirements, we hope that this proposal will allow us to meet your representatives to discuss your needs and this proposal.

THE CHALLENGE

We know that you recruit dozens or hundreds (potentially thousands or even tens of thousands) of temporary staff who are needed for some very short periods of time. These times are some of the most visible and publicly engaged events in Australia. Inside your temporary cohort we estimate that there might be 1 in 20 who have criminal convictions. Some (1 in 25) might also have a debilitating mental health issue or personality vulnerability making them untrustworthy or not resilient or prone to malfeasance inside your official process. More will have financial issues, making them very susceptible to fraud or theft. They will have the occasion to steal. Who knows, others may have divided loyalties and have relevant and significant overseas connections (eg. overseas officials) who want to tamper with your process.

Your process needs to be (and seen to be) beyond reproach.

Temporary staff represent you. They are the face of your organisation to potentially millions of people and can reflect poorly or negatively on you and your process. Imagine if just one of them showed to work high or drunk?

Although we don’t claim to know your personnel security screening process in detail, other than ID verification, do you do more than a criminal history check? Does your process delve into the patterns of wrongdoing, ask the hard questions and then standardised results appropriately, without bias or discrimination? Is your security background screening process robust enough to detect, address and assess many types of risks for each and every member of your temporary workforce?

Would the public expect this of you?
