How does document scanning help HR departments?

Document scanning is an essential service for HR departments. Scanning HR records makes for a safe and secure way of storing documentation that needs to be kept private and confidential. If you're not looking to take on the extra responsibility of that in-house, then you can rest assured that Cleardata will be on hand to help you with that.

We can scan over 11 million images each month. Our bureau is set up for high volume capture and is quality managed to ISO9001. We're also accredited to ISO27001:2022 for Information Security and can scan HR Records for businesses of all sizes, including blue chip and public sector organisations. You'll be safe in the knowledge that we prioritise quality and security when it comes to document scanning. Our state-of-the-art scanners can handle small and large format documents.

When we receive your employee records or other documents for scanning, each one can be indexed using OCR technology - this means that your employee records or other documents can be digitised, searched and then easily retrieved. Scanned records can be returned to you in a convenient format and your files will be regularly backed up in our hi-tech scanning bureau - giving you peace of mind that your documents will always be fully-protected at all times. So many HR departments have found our document scanning services to be invaluable, saving them time, money and office space.
