Need to Mitigate Risks Associated with Fraudulent Activities of Applicants Drive Europe Employment Screening Services Market

The cost of hiring an employee is determined by their salaries, recruiting expenses, incentives, administrative expenses, etc., which, in combination, indicate the true value of an employee that has been recruited. The Department for Education in the UK launched a service to mitigate higher education fraud in 2021. The service was commissioned by the Department for Education to address problems concerning fraud institutions proactively. Fraudulent declarations in job applications put employers at risk if they select such applicants. For example, an employee with a criminal background can be a threat to their colleagues and may jeopardize the company's security.

If they harm their coworkers, the victims can claim that the employee in question had the propensity to cause this type of harm, which the employer should have discovered before hiring. The claim, if proven in the victim's favor, the employer becomes liable for negligent hiring damages, which can result in steep costs to the company. According to data from the SHRM, the average settlement cost of negligent hiring is ~US$ 1 million for organizations worldwide. Moreover, workplace insecurity is cited as one of the primary reasons for high job turnover in organizations, which may lead to a further cost of recruitment for the employer.

False claims in job applications regarding historical job performance or educational qualification expose an organization to potential monetary loss and reputation damage. A bad hire may result in losses incurred by restarting the process of a candidate search. As a result, organizations look for solutions to mitigate the risks associated with fraudulent job applications, which helps them stay compliant with regulatory measures. Background checks before hiring enable organizations to uncover false information on resumes.
