“Oh, we don’t do testing.”

If you review resumes, run interviews, or decide who moves forward, you’re already testing applicants, even if you don’t call it that. In our latest guide, TestGenius President Mike Callen breaks down what that means for your hiring process and how to keep every step consistent, and documented.

Here’s what’s inside:
→ Which everyday hiring steps count as testing, so you know where your risk sits
→ How to apply checks consistently by role so every screening decision holds up if questioned
→ A quick audit to find gaps in your process and build the paper trail you’ll need if someone asks

Most hiring managers underestimate how much ground background checks actually cover, and getting the risk level wrong costs you: too little screening leaves you exposed, too much wastes time and budget. Clarity here protects both sides of the hiring process 🔍

Our latest guide breaks down what every hiring manager should know before their next background check:

☑️ Common background screening types, and what each verifies
☑️ What shows up on a background check, and what doesn't
☑️ The questions candidates ask most, answered
