我们目睹了劳动力市场的剧烈变化，最明显的是从雇主驱动的市场转变为候选人驱动的市场。由于大多数员工想要灵活的工作选择、更多的学习和发展，以及衡量生产力的新方法，许多员工开始重新确定他们在工作场所看重的东西的优先级。在这个以候选人为主导的市场中，雇主更加关注招聘时间、优化候选人体验、在信任和安全的基础上建立团队，以及寻找能够有力代表其品牌的优质候选人。

我们之前谈到了远程员工的隐私和安全影响，而代表电影、广播、电视和印刷等行业的媒体和广告行业由于其公共性质而经常受到关注。随着 24 小时新闻周期、互联网的广泛覆盖以及数字内容消费的增加，媒体和广告公司必须保持其诚信并拥有体现和代表其品牌的值得信赖的员工。随着候选人推动招聘趋势，这些公司必须灵活地招聘和监控员工，以快速获得优秀的候选人。在为您的组织审查合适的候选人并帮助您在信任和安全的基础上建立团队的过程中，强大的背景调查是重要的第一步。

在当今不断发展的劳动力市场中要考虑的因素

1. 背景调查的重要性

就业前和背景调查可以降低风险，保护您的品牌声誉，并让您充满信心地招聘。强大的背景调查提供者将更好地了解候选人的犯罪历史，同时仍然注意周转时间、准确性、合规复杂性和候选人经验。在媒体和广告等快节奏行业工作时，必须实施强大而快速的背景调查，以快速找到合适的候选人。

2. 社交媒体的存在

正如候选人在申请工作时会研究您的公司一样，越来越多的雇主利用社交媒体搜索来做出明智的招聘决定。由于我们的大部分生活都在社交媒体上传播，尤其是在媒体和广告行业，背景调查提供商正在利用大量公开信息来帮助最大限度地降低不良招聘的风险。这种深入研究使用人工智能、语言处理和图像识别来筛选在线风险行为，并在有问题的帖子成为公司文化的一部分之前标记它们——或者更糟的是，在头条新闻中。与运行合规驱动的社交媒体筛选的背景调查提供商合作可以增强您的信心，即您所雇用的人员适合代表您的品牌并为您的公司和文化做出积极贡献。

3. 将合规放在首位

合规性在不断发展。在当今远程优先的世界中寻找背景调查提供商时，优先考虑符合法规要求并节省您时间的内置合规性功能非常重要。与您合作的公司还应拥有一支合规专家团队，让您随时了解当前的立法和监管变化，并提供可用于帮助您履行合规义务的工具和最佳实践见解。

新的劳动力市场现实使得最小化误差幅度、简化招聘流程和改善候选人体验变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。与强大的背景调查提供商合作，可以帮助您高效、合规地筛选员工并让他们更快地工作，这在媒体和广告行业至关重要。

We previously spoke about Privacy and Security Implications of a Remote Workforce, and the Media and Advertising industry, which represents sectors like film, radio, television, and print, is often in the spotlight due to its public nature. With the 24-hour news cycle, expansive reach of the internet, and increasing consumption of digital content, it’s important that Media and Advertising companies maintain their integrity and have trustworthy employees that embody and represent their brand. And with candidates driving the hiring trends, these companies must be agile in hiring and monitoring employees to secure strong candidates quickly. Robust background checks are an important first step in the process of vetting the right candidates for your organisation and helping you build your teams on a foundation of trust and safety.

Factors to Consider in Today’s Evolving Labour Market

1. The Importance of Background Checks

Pre-employment and reference checks can mitigate risk, protect your brand’s reputation, and allow you to hire with confidence. A strong background check provider will deliver a better picture of a candidate’s criminal history while still mindful of turnaround times, accuracy, compliance complexities, and candidate experience. When working in a fast-paced industry such as Media and Advertising, robust and quick background checks must be implemented to get the right candidates hired quickly.

2. Social Media Presence

Just as candidates research your company when applying to jobs, more employers leverage social media searches to make informed hiring decisions. With so much of our lives broadcasting across social media, especially in the Media and Advertising industry, there is a plethora of publicly-available information that background check providers are utilising to help minimise the risk of a bad hire. This deep dive uses A.I., language processing, and image recognition to screen for risky behaviour online and flags problematic posts before they become a part of your company’s culture — or worse, in the headlines. Partnering with a background check provider that runs compliant-driven social media screening can increase your confidence that the people you’re hiring are fit to represent your brand and contribute positively to your company and culture. Social media searches pose no threat to the candidate experience, with no effort required on behalf of the candidate and a fast turnaround time to complete the search.

3. Putting Compliance First

Compliance is constantly evolving. When looking for a background check provider in today’s remote-first world, it’s important to prioritise built-in compliance capabilities that follow regulatory requirements and save you time. The company you partner with should also have a team of compliance experts that keep you informed of current legislative and regulatory changes and offer tools and best practice insights you can leverage to help you meet your compliance obligations.

New labour market realities have made it more important than ever to minimise the margin of error, streamline hiring processes, and improve the candidate experience. Partnering with a strong background check provide
