Small Business is Hurting Right Now
Many small businesses are suffering as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The world has seen firsthand the way the global pandemic has halted “business as usual.”
TransUnion research found that the volume of employment screening for small businesses with 50 or fewer employees declined by 65% in mid-April compared to average volumes observed in prior months during 2020. And, they have been disparately impacted in comparison to larger businesses. Comparatively, large businesses experienced a 35% decline at the apex in mid-April.
Clearly, small businesses have been hit hardest.

Here are the ways ShareAble for Hires is working to empower consumers:
1. Get hired sooner
Small businesses are clamoring to open. But many businesses can’t open their doors until they staff up adequately. ShareAble for Hires helps business owners and job seekers accelerate the hiring process. Many pre-employment background checks and online screening tools can be slow, expensive, and inefficient.
Traditional background checks can take days or even weeks, often requiring small business screeners to have special credentials in order to proceed. During this waiting period, people waiting to be hired can go without pay. Small businesses sit idle, unable to bring on staff that they so desperately need.
ShareAble for Hires removes roadblocks for small business employers.
- The employer signs up for free (mobile or desktop) and sends a screening invitation to their job applicant.
- The job applicant is emailed the screening invitation link, and creates an account online and verifies their identity.
- Within minutes of the job applicant authenticating their identity, trusted TransUnion reports are delivered to both the applicant and employer.
ShareAble for Hires (now FREE*) background checks are designed to add efficiency to the screening process, and expedite the necessary steps for landing a job in these unprecedented times.
Bottom line: With almost instant access to background checks, small businesses can make hiring decisions on the spot sooner, so you can get back to work faster – in some cases, even the same day.
2. Control your own data with our consumer push process
TransUnion believes in using Information for Good®, and the ShareAble for Hires process ensures that consumers control how their information is used. With our Free* background checks, the job applicant gets to choose to push their data to who they want, when they want.
Because a job applicant authorizes to share their information and consents to participate in the screening process, they become stewards of their own data. Consumers are the driving force in our system; they provide explicit permission to be screened. They also get to review their own reports. This “consumer push” process increases the speed of pre-employment screening. Unlike traditional background checks that can take days or weeks to complete, the ShareAble For Hires process enables an employer to make much quicker hiring decisions. For a job seeker this means that you have an opportunity to get back to work faster and make money sooner.
Here’s how ShareAble for Hires is able to do this:
With TransUnion ShareAble’s patented “consumer push” process, small businesses can get access to FCRA-regulated reports and increase the speed of employment screening compared to traditional methods. This way, you can make informed, on-the-spot hiring decisions.
Bottom Line: ShareAble for Hires is designed to empower consumers to be in control of when and how they share their data. Leverage your information to benefit your job hunt.
3. Transparency throughout the screening process
ShareAble for Hires enables the ability for important information and insights to be shared, which makes attaining trust very quickly, possible.
This means that your information is shared not only with your prospective employer, but also with you. Our process automatically sends employment screening reports to both screener and consumer, meaning you can review exactly what your prospective employer sees in in the results of your background check.
This adds transparency to the screening process and ensures that all applicants can safely and confidently share their personal information to land a new job.
The reports you receive are compliant with state and federal consumer reporting laws. The reports provide employers with all of the essential pieces of information they need to make hiring decisions on the spot. That means that job applicants can potentially land that dream job and start the next chapter of their career that very afternoon.
Bottom line: Because screening reports are also delivered to job applicants, ShareAble for Hires adds transparency to the screening process.
