Whether you are a large or small company, you may need to carry out large numbers of DBS checks per year, perhaps on your potential hires or your existing staff. If you do DBS checks on an individual basis, costs can quickly mount up becoming very expensive for your business. Of course, you don’t want to skip the DBS checking process and compromise the safety of your hires, so what can you do? Well, we have the answer – eBulk. Let us explain what this service can do for your business.
What is eBulk?
eBulk is an online management system which allows you to submit and manage multiple DBS checks all at once, which in turn will help you save time and money with an overall smoother process. This service typically has a fast return rate for criminal background checks, providing with you with the right information more efficiently.
How will eBulk benefit me?
There are several benefits to using the eBulk system. Here the things you should take note of:
- Speed – The process speeds up as details for each application can be sent directly to the Disclosure and Barring Service online.
- Simplicity – You will be able to track applications through a simple and easy to use online tracking system once they have been submitted, allowing you to keep up to date with the progress.
- Efficiency – All results are returned electronically through e-mail so this allows you to cut out the time and cost of typical postage. It will also notify you immediately if any criminal records are highlighted in a DBS check.
- Save time – You will reduce admin time as all your information will be easily accessible in one place, reducing the time your staff spend looking for files and records.
- Accuracy – All results are validated through an automated system which checks for errors, removing the margin for human error, leaving you with 100% reliable results every time.
- Save money – Cost saving, two words everyone likes to hear. With the online systems, you will be able to cut costs on admin and postage for every application, making the eBulk system the cheaper option for your business.
