Improved status change tracking for hiring transparency
Managing the hiring process involves many moving parts, and keeping track of status changes is crucial for maintaining clear communication and accountability. We understand how challenging it can be to keep everyone on the same page, especially when multiple team members are involved.
To tackle this, we’re introducing an enhanced status change tracking feature to make monitoring and managing updates more transparent and efficient.
Let’s take a closer look at how this new feature can help you stay organized and informed throughout the hiring journey.
The challenge of tracking status changes
In a typical hiring process, multiple people—from HR managers to recruiters and department leads—may need to make updates or track the status of candidates. However, without a clear log of changes, it’s easy for communication to break down or for important updates to be missed. This can result in confusion, delays, and even errors, ultimately impacting the candidate experience and the overall efficiency of your hiring process.
Inconsistent tracking can also make it difficult to understand who made specific changes and why. When everyone needs quick and easy access to up-to-date information, the absence of a detailed log can be a significant roadblock.
Our solution: enhanced status change tracking
To resolve these issues, we’ve introduced a new "Status Changes by Client" timeline that provides a detailed log of every status change made by your team. This new feature includes:
- A complete timeline of all client-initiated changes.
- Clear details of who made each update, including their email address.
- Precise timestamps that record the date and time of every change.
This enhancement ensures that everyone involved in the hiring process has complete visibility into any modifications, making it easier to stay informed and reduce misunderstandings.
How this benefits your hiring workflow
- Complete transparency: With a clear timeline, your team can easily see all status changes, who made them, and when. This helps everyone understand the current stage of the hiring process without having to dig through multiple records.
- Improved accountability: Knowing who made a change and why helps create a culture of accountability. This level of transparency reduces miscommunication and ensures that everyone is aligned throughout the hiring journey.
- Efficient collaboration: When the entire hiring team has real-time insights into the status of candidates, collaboration becomes more seamless. This means fewer errors and a smoother workflow, ultimately contributing to a better experience for candidates.
How to use this new feature
To use the enhanced status change tracking, simply navigate to the candidate’s profile where you will see a new timeline labeled "Status Changes by Client." Each update is clearly logged, showing the user, date, time, and any relevant notes. This makes it simple to understand what changes have been made and ensures that everyone on the team is informed.

FAQs
This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
