Corra Group Adds International Employment Screening Background Checks for Quicker Returns to the H

February 26, 2016 posted by Steve Brownstein

Corra Group has increased its sources for international background checks to help assure quicker turnaround in the healthcare industry. As more hospitals and medical facilities seek foreign talent to fill healthcare related positions, faster turnaround times mean a more expedient hiring process.
 
“We at Corra Group are seeing through our clients a significant increase in the hiring of foreign applicants in the healthcare industry,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Nick Gustavson. “In some countries conducting international criminal records searches, or international education verification and international employment verification searches, is a much lengthier process than conducting the same types of background checks within the America borders. Through aggressive sourcing and careful negotiation, Corra Group has been able to improve the turnaround times on these much need requisites for employment screening.
 
“We have made substantial progress in reducing turnaround times in the Caribbean and Latin America, and even in different African Nations,” said Gustavson. "We have also made substantial gains in the Philippines.”
 
Gustavson noted that Corra Group offers a full range for background checks, and special healthcare related packages to the healthcare industry. Some packages included Motor Vehicle Records Searches for traveling nurses. He pointed out that in the healthcare industry and in the sometimes related technology industry, the greatest pain points are the international education verification and the international employment verification searches.
 
“The international education verification searches and the international employment verification searches can sometimes take a long time to be completed,” side Gustavson. The procedures at foreign universities and nursing schools are not as accelerated as we would like them to be. Slow turnaround times can interfere with the hiring process and delay employment. This is not only hard on the employer but also on the recruiter and staffing agency that is placing the candidate.
 
“At Corra Group we are always working with sources to provide a faster completion rate of the critical background searches,” said Gustavson. “We have made great strides with this over the last year.
