This is a year of fundamental change for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) HR and risk departments, as they face a barrage of new and emerging challenges.There is the long-awaited GDPR implementation, the uncertainty of Brexit negotiations, the continued move towards contingent and flexible working, and ever-present technological disruptions. 

Despite the fact that there is so much change to address, the 2018 HireRight EMEA employment screening benchmark report reveals that, for many businesses, growth is a top priority. As a result, hiring rates are expected to rise – in many cases, significantly. 

The report, based on the thoughts of EMEA HR and risk decision makers, reveals a number of other key recruitment and screening trends this year. In particular, it looks at the shifting focus from attracting talent to retaining it and a continued emphasis on the candidate experience.
