Attracting talent and attracting top talent are two different considerations. “Top talent” is a fairly nuanced term with different meanings depending on the organization. It doesn’t just speak to the skills and disposition of a candidate but also the ability to learn/improve over time and integrate into an organization’s culture. “Top talent” is variable and, as a term, can be replaced with: “people that suit your organization well.” As we will discuss, a resume is becoming a smaller piece of the hiring puzzle for many organizations.

Credit reports are a valuable part of any comprehensive background check for employment or personal purposes. Such information provides insights into an individual’s financial responsibility over several years.  It is important to note that one’s credit score is not included in a background screening credit report for employment (a FICO score is included with certain personal background check packages).
