The practice of conducting employment background screening has been around a long time and has become ubiquitous that it is inexplicably tied to the employment hiring process. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of all businesses and organizations conduct some form of pre-employment background check.
Yet, we see change coming to background screening: it’s infinity screening, which is the process of conducting background checks on current employees on a periodic or on-going basis to stay informed about life changes that could create increased risk for your organization. The terms infinity screening, continuous screening, reoccurring screening and post-hire screening are synonymous and are used interchangeably.
