The Expert Recommended HR and TA Podcasts for 2021
Podcasts have gained in popularity over the last decade, it’s a great way for experts and enthusiasts to share their insight and opinions with the world. This has been an amazing boon for TA and HR practitioners who now have a whole host of options when it comes to podcasts that focus on our vertical.
Listening to podcasts from other industry professionals helps us un-silo, one of the major pain-points for TA and HR, and share knowledge in an easy and entertaining way.
With podcasting becoming so popular so fast (even Prince Harry has one now), it may be hard to find the best ones for you. So we asked some of Veremark’s integration partners to share with us their favourite shows—the ones that made them laugh, rethink, and get inspired. Who better to talk about this than HR Tech suppliers? After all, they work with thousands of HR and TA people everyday. If that’s not the best way to get the inside scoop, then what is?!

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.
