Employment Screening Services Market Worth $12.62 Billion, Globally, By 2030 - Exclusive Report By The Insight Partners

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The employment screening services market size is projected to reach US$ 12.62 billion by 2030 from US$ 5.38 billion in 2022 and expected to register a CAGR of 11.2% during 2022–2030.

US & Canada, Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Employment screening is a crucial part of the recruitment process. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large companies are making substantial investments in employee screening and verification processes. Several companies are gradually transitioning from an in-house verification process to more reliable third-party vendors. These vendors offer pre-hiring and post-hiring screening services. However, appointing a third party for these screening processes makes employers vulnerable to data breaches. Therefore, enterprises are becoming highly conscious of the security of employee information and regulatory concerns. Moreover, previous cases of employee data breach concerns compel end users to invest more in protecting employee data.

Key Employment Screening Services Market Findings:

• Geographically, the employment screening services market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (MEA), and South and Central America (SCA). North America dominated the employment screening services market in 2023, with a 49.1% market share. Employers across the US consider background checks as an integral part of their recruitment process. As of data published by the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) in July 2023, ~95% of US employers conducted employee background screening, and 77% of US employers have a documented background screening policy. Criminal record checks are among the most essential employment screening checks, as stated by 94% of respondents. These checks can help employers view convictions for felonies, misdemeanors, and violations, as well as ongoing criminal proceedings.
• Moreover, the US reported the highest number of immigrants looking for employment, thereby increasing the demand for employment screening services to analyze migrant applicants' background details.
• Europe is the second-largest contributor to the global employment screening services market, followed by Asia Pacific. With a surge in business expansions in APAC, several job profiles are being created, owing to which a significant demand for screening services is generated to scrutinize professionals. According to the United Nations Population Fund, Asia Pacific was home to 60% of the world's population (as of 2023), majorly contributed by China and India. The number of employee frauds and scams has increased along with the size of the qualified workforce. As a result, companies put in substantial efforts in selecting suitable candidates to safeguard against potential risk and foster a secure, trustworthy work environment.
• The employment screening services market is segmented into services, applications, and organization size. Based on services, the employment screening services market is segmented into background screening, verification, and medical and drug testing. The verification segment held the largest share of the market in 2023. Verification services include investigating the candidates' employment histories, professional licenses, and educational qualifications. Several applicants provide false information regarding their level of education and work experience by making minor changes or even outrageous misrepresentations. According to the World Street Journal, around 34% of job applications globally contain fake information. Verification service providers ease the employer's liability to scrutinize every piece of information provided by candidates. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, false information provided by candidates results in huge losses to several companies. The costs incurred due to false information on resumes amounted to ~US$ 600 billion in the past few years in North America.
