DigiVerifier: The Friend Who Helps You Hire Right
March 25th, 2025
Recruiters are under constant pressure to meet aggressive hiring targets. The faster they onboard candidates, the quicker they hit their numbers – but what happens after the hire is made? If the wrong candidate slips through due to poor verification, the fallout can affect not just the recruiter’s reputation but also the company’s bottom line.
In many cases, recruiters consider their job done once the candidate is onboarded. But the reality is, the job isn’t truly finished until the background and credential verification (BGCV) is completed. Recruiters might hit their targets by onboarding more candidates – and that’s not necessarily wrong – but if those hires don’t pass verification or fail to perform, the company bears the cost of that misstep.
This is where leadership needs to step in. Recruiters succeed when they meet their hiring quotas, but for the business to succeed, those hires need to be sustainable. Leaders can set the tone by encouraging recruiters to focus not just on speed, but also on the long-term impact of a hire. Ensuring that recruiters stay engaged through the verification process – instead of departing post-onboarding – can make a significant difference in business stability and performance.
Think of DV Like a Traffic Light
DigiVerifier works on a system similar to traffic lights – simple, clear, and effective:
- Green: When a candidate passes verification, you can confidently proceed, knowing that they meet all the necessary criteria.
- Yellow: If DV flags something for review, it’s an opportunity to double-check and resolve issues before they escalate.
- Red: A red signal means the candidate has failed the verification process due to discrepancies – saving you from potential future headaches and costly mis-hires.
This system helps recruiters make faster, more informed decisions. Instead of relying on guesswork or rushing to fill positions, DV ensures that you’re bringing on people who are truly suited for the role – reducing the risk of early attrition or poor performance.
Short-Term Targets vs Long-Term Success
Recruiters are often measured by how quickly they meet hiring targets. But successful recruitment isn’t just about filling seats – it’s about finding the right people who will contribute to business growth. That’s where DV comes in.
By ensuring that every hire is properly vetted and qualified, DV increases the chances of long-term success. Good hires mean stronger performance, better retention, and ultimately higher billing – which reflects positively on the talent acquisition team. Meeting your target is one thing; contributing to business success is another.
From Hiring to Profitability
It might be worth considering a shift in focus from hiring volume to hiring quality. A quick hire who underperforms or leaves early can drain valuable time and resources. In contrast, a well-vetted hire – backed by DV’s thorough verification – can drive better team performance, faster onboarding, and higher productivity.
This is why leadership needs to make quality a priority. Recruiters should feel empowered to stay involved through the verification process, knowing that their success isn’t just about filling roles but about ensuring that those hires succeed within the company.
DigiVerifier isn’t a roadblock; it’s a tool that empowers recruiters to hire smarter. It helps you balance speed with quality – ensuring that every hire you make sets you up for long-term success. When you hire the right people, you don’t just meet your targets – you drive real business impact.
When you win with the right hire, everyone wins.
