The Festive season is coming up and it’s time to consider the casual staff you intend to hire for the holiday rush. Casual staff are a necessity to help when business picks up in various seasonal industries. However, like full time staff members, casual staff also need to be screened and vetted prior to employment, even in a short-term capacity.
Depending on your line of business and the role you need them to fill, casual staff still have access to the inner workings of your business and post a potential risk. It may sound pessimistic to assume that every staff member is a potential threat, but it’s better to assume and prepare, than to assume and be blindsided if something does happen. Better safe than sorry!
Interviewing temporary staff should coincide with background checks at the very least to protect your business. It’s essential that you plan so that you don’t run the risk of being desperate for staff and thus more lenient during the hiring process. If you begin your temporary staff search as early as possible, you’ll have sufficient time to deploy effective pre-employment screening procedures which will help you ensure your business is as safe as possible.
The typical background screening checks that should be done for temporary workers include:
By performing one, if not all, of these pre-employment screening measures, you can ensure your temporary staff are who they say they are, do not have a criminal record, that they have the work experience they say they have and the skills they claim. This way you can make an informed hiring decision.
