Global Employment Screening Market Segment Insights
High number of illegal activities drive the criminal background checks segment
Based on services, the employment screening services market can be classified as education & employment verification, drug & health screening, credit history checks, criminal background checks, and others. The criminal background check segment accounted for a significant share in 2020 and is projected to expand at a robust growth rate during the forecast period. Rising criminal cases in corporate organizations such as counterfeiting, confidential data leaks, and violence compelled various corporations to run criminal background checks on their applicants and prospective employees to ascertain that they are mentally sound and have no history of any crime. This protects the firm from any financial and legal trouble and also reduced the vulnerability of the organisation. In order to safeguard the reputation and assets of the organizations, it was imperative for the HR team or outsourced employment screening services to run background checks. The education and employment verification segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace as it ascertains the qualifications of the prospective employee to verify that they are the right fit for the job and that they can perform the required tasks with the right skill set.
COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge in employment screening services in the healthcare segment
On the basis of applications, the market can be segmented into healthcare, information technology/media, financial services, staffing, retail, industrial, travel, hospitality, government, education, transportation, and others. The spread of COVID-19 resulted in employment screening activities in the healthcare segment, which has caused the healthcare segment to register a significant CAGR in 2020. Drug testing and educational qualifications were screened in the medical sector to ascertain that the medical staff was fully skilled and had the necessary education to treat the patients. Additionally, the stringent regulations regarding recruitment in the healthcare segment requires strict employment screening, which further causes growth in the healthcare segment. The most important test conducted was the drug test as failure in this test can have serious consequences for the recruits.
Rise of IT hubs in North America propels the market
In terms of regions, the global employment screening services market can be categorized as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America held a substantial market share in 2020 owing to rising number of IT hubs and overall employment.
