Breaking Down The Compliance Essentials

The biggest issue employers and recruiters around Australia are currently facing is how to comprehensively screen and onboard quality candidates fast enough to meet client/business demands. In September, unemployment dropped 1.1% points to 8.1%, according to the latest Roy Morgan employment series data.


As businesses try to bounce back to pre-Covid productivity by operating with almost the same number of staff or more, the lack of people to hire is the heaviest ball and chain weighing hopes down from finally recouping the losses, even after more than a year out of the pandemic.  

 

These are unprecedented time for Business Owners, HR Managers and Staffing and Recruitment where the need to fill vacant roles faster is becoming a necessity. The failure to ensure screening compliance is addressed in a fraction of the usual timeframe could mean missing out on their candidate. Imagine waiting to get Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) and Work Rights Checks to return while your candidate is signing the employment contract with another company. 



This is where WorkPro is an essential compliance application to get all Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check, Work Rights Checks and Reference Checks in one system.  


Here are the compliance essentials you can’t hire without and can’t do without WorkPro. Let’s break them down:
