Why screen temporary employees?

Temporary roles still carry risk

Short-term assignments can still involve customer contact, on-site access, equipment use, or sensitive data. Screening should match the role’s risk—not just its duration.

A practical approach

• Define tiers

  Create 2–3 screening tiers by role family and access level.
• Keep turnaround predictable

  Choose checks that deliver consistent timing for staffing workflows.
• Document criteria

  Consistency matters across multiple recruiters and locations.
