Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Swiftly Tech should ensure that any third-party providers they use for background checks have robust internal controls in place to protect the confidentiality and security of the data they handle. This can help prevent future data breaches and protect both the company and its employees' sensitive information. Forgoing background checks or requiring employees to provide their own could introduce risks and is not a practical solution for ensuring the security and integrity of the hiring process.
