Demand for time efficient selection systems owing to rising number of job applicants are the major factor driving the growth of the Europe employment screening services. However, inadequacy of defined regulations in certain countries hinder the growth of Europe employment screening services.

In Europe, the COVID-19 pandemic has a different impact on different countries, as only selective countries have witnessed the rise in the number of cases and subsequently attracted strict, as well as prolonged, lockdown periods or social isolation norms. However, Western European countries such as Germany, France, Russia, and the UK have seen a comparatively modest decrease in their growth activities because of the robust healthcare systems. According to The Insight Partners study from Eurostat, the European Union's statistical office, the unemployment rate remained relatively constant from September to December in 2020, with an annual increase of 7.5% percent in 2020 compared to that of 6.5% in 2019. According to a Eurostat report In December 2020, 16 million men and women were unemployed, which indicates a surge of 2 million over that in the previous year. This had a negative impact on the European employment screening services market. However, with the declining COVID-19 cases across the country on average as well as manufacturing units, hospitality sector, and retail stores resuming their normal course of business have propelled the demand for employees across the European countries. This has led to the increase in recruitment across the region in many industries, thereby bolstering the employment screening services market growth
