It’s common knowledge that businesses should have a well-planned onboarding process in place to get their new hires acclimated to their jobs quickly and efficiently. In fact, last week we published a blog about the 8 Ways You Can Take Your Onboarding to the Next Level, which provides a lot of great ideas about how to improve the new hire experience within your organization.

Anybody who pursues a career in HR will likely come across the concept of “background checks” at some point. After all, many businesses find it important to run checks on new employees before extending an offer letter. This pre-employment screening helps employers see criminal, financial, and employment history of a candidate before deciding whether or not they’re a good fit for the organization.

It’s a beneficial trail for companies to recruit, hire and maintain engaged employees. This can be accomplished faster and easier when using Applicant Tracking and Onboarding software. The below flow chart shows you a brief breakdown of how increased employee engagement will ultimately lead to higher levels of profit.

As you may already know, there are many different types of payroll processing: ranging from in-house to outsourcing, to even using a CPA. You’ve probably have heard of many different payroll service companies, but do you know exactly what they do and what they offer? Just like their name suggests, payroll companies ensure that employees are paid on time and that all of the employers stay compliant. Obviously, payroll is more than just writing checks, and a good payroll company will offer more than just that. Depending on the size of the company and the software’s capabilities, there are a variety of different things that payroll companies do for their customers.
