When hiring new employees, background verification (BGV) is a key step to protect your company’s reputation and ensure a safe, credible workplace. But many HR teams ask: should we verify before hiring (pre-onboarding) or after hiring (post-onboarding)? Let’s break it down.
This means checking a candidate’s background before they officially join your company.
•
Prevents bad hires at the outset.
Best for: Roles with high responsibility, client-facing positions, or industries like finance, IT, and healthcare.
Post-Onboarding Verification
This is done after the employee has joined, often done during probation.
Pros:
• Speedy onboarding when urgently required.
* Seamless business continuity
• Allows flexibility
• Can be used for periodic checks or promotions.
Best for: Fast-growing teams, contract roles, or when hiring in bulk.
What Works Best?
There’s no one-size-fits-all. Many companies use a mix of both. Pre-onboarding checks are ideal for critical roles, while post-onboarding verifications work well for fast-paced hiring.
