但是，当您的筛查公司使用第三方开发的白标技术时，您最终可能要等待数周甚至数月才能获得技术更新、新功能和定制报告工具，或者您可能根本得不到它们。这只是专有技术对您的招聘过程如此重要的众多原因之一。
专有背景筛选平台的 6 大好处
您用于支持候选人筛选和招聘流程的技术的有效性与人才管理的任何其他领域一样重要。而且由于技术在自动化手动功能和改善候选人体验方面发挥着如此重要的作用，它可能比您想象的更重要。事实上，在最近的 PWC 调查中，人力资源和 IT 领导者表示，他们计划在 2022 年之前投资于技术以支持人才获取，而不是其他任何领域。
当您期望最有效的解决方案来帮助您管理招聘风险并提供更好的候选人体验时，您使用的筛选技术就很重要。与现成筛选技术的许多缺点相比，专有筛选平台可以帮助您构建高效的筛选计划，以符合您组织的招聘目标。您对功能开发和影响用户体验的流程有直接影响。
以下是您可以从信誉良好且经验丰富的筛查提供商提供的专有筛查技术中获得的六项好处。
1. 服务交付速度
您渴望背景筛选的效率，而且您并不孤单。根据专业背景审查协会 (PBSA) 最近进行的一项调查，66% 的雇主表示获得结果的时间长短是他们在背景审查中面临的最大挑战。
在操作繁忙的人员配备职能时，时间始终是一个因素，您不想冒着让候选人因缓慢或笨拙的背景调查流程而流失的风险。除了帮助您管理招聘风险外，您的背景筛选技术还需要简化提交背景调查请求并获得及时结果的过程。
不幸的是，与依赖现成技术的筛查公司合作可能会阻碍您简化筛查过程并快速获得准确结果的努力。使用现成软件系统的筛选公司无法实现技术效率，因为他们经常不得不等待第三方平台开发人员为他们做这件事。相反，单一筛查公司提供的专有软件可以根据请求、定制和升级提供加速交付。他们无需排队等待第三方开发人员完成工作，而是可以与内部开发人员合作并更快地将平台更改投入生产。
2. 与软件开发人员的直接沟通渠道
使用专有筛选技术可以定期将您的技术问题和反馈传递给平台开发人员。没有“中间人”。因此，您的技术需求不会像从筛选公司传递到第三方技术公司时那样被淡化。通过直接沟通，您可以放心，开发人员了解您的需求并拥有他们需要的信息，以提供适合您的招聘和筛选挑战的解决方案。
专有的筛选软件还可以实现更一致的客户服务。例如，如果您是使用专有技术的筛查公司的新客户，则提供商可以根据需要引入其 IT 团队来审查您的筛查和招聘工作流程。这种优势在入职过程中以及添加集成以与筛选技术一起工作时特别有价值。通过了解您的需求，软件开发人员可以继续进行，而不会在翻译中丢失重要细节。
3.更好地访问定制
在大多数情况下，使用现成技术的筛查公司无法访问他们提供给您的技术的代码。因此，他们更难使您的定制成为现实。另一方面，放映公司开发并拥有专有技术，因此可以定制您的放映软件，而无需大惊小怪或不必要的延误。
使用专有技术也可以更简化定制，因为您的需求不会被归为其他客户要求软件公司进行定制的需求。相反，您可以明确表达需求，并且可以对专有系统进行独特定制以满足该特定需求。您的定制不会被强制纳入科技公司为满足数百名其他客户的需求而创建的千篇一律的解决方案中。它可以根据您的招聘和筛选过程的确切框架和参数进行定制。

4. 为了自动化而没有自动化
当您与致力于帮助您实现效率、合规性和及时性目标的筛查公司合作时，供应商使用的技术也更有可能支持这些目标。自动化不应试图接管您的招聘和筛选流程，而应增强您现有的流程并为人工分析和判断留出空间。
幸运的是，专有技术可以利用自动化来提高效率并使用户更有效率。例如，使用专有技术时，您不会被告知“这就是您将如何生成此报告”，而是会询问您“需要什么质量的信息来帮助提高您的报告能力？”
5. 以客户为导向的功能和服务
使用专有筛选平台时，技术不会驱动您的筛选公司提供的流程和服务。相反，您的流程和需求是核心驱动力。系统特性和功能基于您招聘过程中的真实工作流程，而不是第三方开发人员对您的筛选技术应该如何运行的假设。
借助专有的背景筛选技术，最终目标是帮助您降低风险并加快招聘流程——不允许技术接管到您对其功能和限制感到感激的地步。
6. 目标定价
尽管背景筛查服务的定价各不相同，但从长远来看，专有平台可能会节省成本。主要原因：它是由效率目标驱动的，而不是开发软件的公司的盈利目标。例如，许多现成的程序都是建立在每次点击模型上的，而专有技术则不是。它的成功取决于它如何满足您的筛选需求。
此外，当您使用专有平台为服务付费时，您是在为您需要和使用的服务付费，而不是为其他客户创建的服务列表——其中许多可能来自完全不同的行业。您无需为点击付费；您正在为提高您筛选和雇用符合您的目标的候选人的能力的功能付费。
用更好的技术提升您的背景筛选流程
正如您不希望过时的技术或带有病毒的软件一样，您不应该接受可能会损害而不是增强招聘过程的背景筛选技术。受益于专有筛选技术不仅可以帮助提高背景调查服务的速度，还可以让您顺利采用新功能和定制。
Top 6 Benefits of a Proprietary Background Screening Platform
The effectiveness of the technology you use to support your candidate screening and hiring process is as important as any other area of talent management. And because technology plays such an important role in automating manual functions and improving the candidate experience, it may be more important than you think. In fact, in a recent PWC survey, HR and IT leaders said they planned to invest in technology to support talent acquisition more than any other area through 2022.
When you expect the most effective solution for helping you manage hiring risks and deliver a better candidate experience, the kind of screening technology you use matters. Compared to the many shortcomings of off-the-shelf screening technology, a proprietary screening platform can help you build an efficient screening program to align with your organization’s hiring goals. You have direct influence on feature development and the processes impacting the user experience.
Here are six benefits you can expect from proprietary screening technology offered by a reputable and experienced screening provider.
1. Speed of Service Delivery
You desire efficiency in background screening, and you’re not alone. According to a recent survey conducted by the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA), 66 percent of employers said length of time to get results was the most significant challenge they faced in background screening.
When operating a busy staffing function, time is always a factor, and you don’t want to risk losing candidates to a slow or clunky background check process. In addition to helping you manage hiring risk, your background screening technology also needs to streamline the process of submitting background check requests and getting timely results.
Unfortunately, working with a screening company that relies on off-the-shelf technology can impede your efforts to streamline the screening process and get accurate results quickly. Screening companies using off-the-shelf software systems can’t implement tech efficiencies because they often have to wait for third-party platform developers to do it for them. Conversely, proprietary software offered by a single screening company can deliver accelerated delivery on requests, customization, and upgrades. Instead of waiting in line for third-party developers to do the work, they can work with in-house developers and get platform changes into production faster.
2. Direct Line of Communication to Software Developers
Working with proprietary screening technology offers regular opportunities for your tech questions and feedback to flow to platform developers. There’s no “middle man.” As a result, your tech needs don’t get watered down as they often do when passed from the screening company to a third-party tech firm. By having a direct line of communication, you can be assured the developers understand your needs and have the information they need to deliver a solution geared to your hiring and screening challenges.
Proprietary screening software also enables more consistent customer service. For example, if you’re a new client with a screening company using proprietary tech, the provider can bring in its IT team as needed to review your screening and hiring workflows. This benefit is particularly valuable during the onboarding process and when you’re adding integrations to work alongside your screening technology. By understanding your needs, the software developers can proceed without important details getting lost in translation.
3. Better Access to Customization
In most cases, screening companies using off-the-shelf technology don’t have access to the code for the technology they’re offering to you. As a result, it is more difficult for them to make your customizations a reality. On the other hand, proprietary technology is developed and owned by the screening company, making it possible to customize your screening software without a lot of fuss or unnecessary delays.
Customization is also more streamlined with proprietary technology, because your needs aren’t being lumped into the needs of other clients requesting customization from the software company. Instead, you articulate a need, and the proprietary system can be uniquely customized to meet that specific need. Your customization isn’t forced into a cookie-cutter solution a tech company has created to meet the needs of hundreds of other clients. It can be tailored to the exact framework and parameters of your hiring and screening process.

4. No Automation for Automation’s Sake
When you work with a screening company committed to helping you meet your goals for efficiency, compliance, and timeliness, there’s a greater chance the technology the provider uses will also support those goals. Instead of automation attempting to take over your hiring and screening process, automation should enhance your existing processes and leave room for human analysis and judgment.
Fortunately, proprietary technology can leverage automation to increase efficiency and enable users to be more productive. For example, with proprietary tech, instead of being told, “This is how you’re going to produce this report,” you are asked, “What quality of information is necessary to help improve your reporting capability?”
5. Client-Directed Features and Services
When working with a proprietary screening platform, technology doesn’t drive the processes and services your screening company offers. Rather, your processes and needs are the core drivers. System features and capabilities are based on real workflows in your hiring process, not a third-party developer’s assumptions about how your screening technology should behave.
With proprietary background screening technology, the ultimate goal is helping you reduce risk and speed up your hiring process—not allowing tech to take over to the point where you are beholden to its functions and limitations.
6. Targeted Pricing
Although pricing for background screening services varies, a proprietary platform is likely to deliver cost savings in the long run. The chief reason: It’s driven by goals for efficiency rather than the profitability goals of the company developing the software. For example, many off-the-shelf programs are built on a per-click model, whereas proprietary technology isn’t. Its success is a function of how well it meets your screening needs.
Also, when you pay for services with a proprietary platform, you’re paying for the services you need and use, not a list of services created for other clients—many of which may be in entirely different industries. You’re not paying for clicks; you’re paying for functionality that improves your ability to screen and hire candidates in alignment with your goals.
Boost Your Background Screening Process with Better Technology
Just as you wouldn’t want outdated technology or software with a virus, you shouldn’t accept background screening technology that could hurt your hiring process rather than enhance it. Having the benefit of proprietary screening technology can not only help to improve the speed of background check services, but it can also smooth your adoption of new functionality and customization.
