Optimize Applicant Experience
Our dedicated Applicant Services team ensures your applicants receive the highest levels of service and care. Whether we are collecting additional data or just need clarification, our streamlined approach guarantees a positive experience.
Through our Applicant Services department, we can establish direct communication with your applicants to assist in the screening process. When applicant contact is required, one of our Applicant Services team members reviews the entire applicant file to identify any and all needed items – ensuring your applicant is only contacted once for any required information.
Process
 |
Pre-research contact Upon receipt of a request for a background investigation, BIG will analyze that request to determine if additional information is needed for the research process, such as phone numbers for references, driver’s license numbers and school locations. This information can be obtained directly from the applicant. |
 |
Research support At points predefined by the client in the research process, BIG can contact the applicant to assist in completing and/or expediting any pending research. This can include having the applicant clarify reported contact information or assist in expediting responses to written requests for information. |
 |
Post-research verification Upon completion of the research process, BIG can contact the applicant to assist in finalizing or adjudicating any inconclusive research results. This can include obtaining copies of supporting documents, such as copies of diplomas, pay stubs or W-2 forms, or having the applicant provide written explanations of any derogatory results. |
