Orsus Gateway: Transforming Candidate Verification with Transparency and Control

Candidate verification is something almost every business, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, should be doing. Verification isn’t only for the employer, however. Transparency keeps employees better informed of where they stand in the hiring process, and that’s precisely why the candidate verification platform we’ve designed, Orsus Gateway, is made to be transparent.

The Importance of Transparency in Candidate Verification

The need for complete transparency from candidates is obvious. Failing to disclose experience and any red flags results in multiple issues: questions regarding the candidate’s integrity, additional investigations and explanations, and a waste of time on everyone’s part if the candidate is automatically disqualified. Of course, candidates are aware of this.

Not all businesses are aware of how vital transparency from them is, however. Transparency from employer to candidate has multiple benefits:

• Reduced Stress: Employees are less anxious about the status of their application, as they can see where their verification is. They’ll usually know where in the interview process they are. Transparency shows whether verification is progressing or if it’s causing a delay in the hiring decision.
• Easier Resolutions: Should there be an issue with obtaining an employee’s verification, employees can see the issue. They can then be proactive if it’s something they can follow up on, potentially expediting the hiring process.
• Fewer Questions: Hiring managers receive fewer simple questions about an employee’s verification and application status. For hiring managers considering many candidates or hiring substantial numbers of new employees, the cumulative benefit can save quite a lot of time.
• Compliance: When employers are subject to regulations, transparency ensures compliance in recruiting. Candidates can see the same information employers do.

Additionally, using a transparent background check solution shows respect to employees. It communicates that an employer is aware of what candidates (and presumably employees) want, and the employer is willing to accommodate when it’s feasible.

The Importance of Control in Candidate Verification

Providing transparency also allows for better control over the verification process. With our candidate verification platform, we give control to both the candidate and the employer.

Candidates cannot only see their verification status but can also make specific updates to their verification. The first step is simply providing basic information and listing the entities to contact for verification. They can then update any required medical screening or drug test with its details. Should candidates need to, they can send a message through the portal.

In this way, candidates can better ensure that their process moves along, and quickly address anything they need to.

Employers, of course, retain control of a candidate’s overall information. Employers upload screenings that can’t be verified with a simple reference number, such as employment and educational verifications. Hiring managers also have the option to be notified anytime a candidate enters an update, and they can notify the candidate through the portal.
