How to Overcome Background Check Delays: A Faster, Cost-Effective Solution for Healthcare Hiring

Hiring the right talent is critical for any organization, especially in industries like healthcare where safety, compliance, and efficiency are paramount. Background checks are an essential step in the hiring process, ensuring that organizations make informed decisions, protect workplace safety, and comply with industry regulations. However, while necessary, background checks can often feel like a double-edged sword—they help safeguard your organization but can also introduce challenges like delays and high costs.

These hurdles can frustrate both employers and candidates, leading organizations to seek better solutions that streamline the process without sacrificing quality. Fortunately, there’s a way to overcome these challenges.

The Challenges of Background Checks

Recent data from a survey of over 250 healthcare hiring professionals sheds light on the most common difficulties organizations face:

  • Delays in receiving reliable background check data: 35% of organizations report that background check delays significantly slow down their hiring process. In today’s competitive job market, these delays can cause organizations to lose top candidates to competitors who move faster.
  • High costs of background checks: For 15% of organizations, the costs of conducting thorough screenings are a major barrier. This is particularly problematic for smaller organizations that may not have the budget to perform efficient and comprehensive candidate screenings.

These challenges underscore the need for a solution that offers speed, affordability, and quality—a combination that’s often hard to find.

A Game-Changing Solution: Hireology + Accurate Background

To tackle these challenges head-on, Hireology partners with Accurate Background, the leading provider of background checks in the United States. This partnership is designed to transform the background check experience for healthcare organizations, making it faster, more reliable, and cost-effective—all while maintaining the highest standards of compliance.

What Makes Accurate Background Stand Out?

Accurate Background is not just another provider—it’s a partner committed to your success. Unlike many background check providers that charge extra for support, Accurate Background offers free customer support services to all clients. Their team is available 363 days a year, ensuring near-continuous assistance to help organizations navigate their unique hiring challenges.
