Background Screening Solutions

 

Criminal Records

You can’t leave the future of your organization up to chance. A thorough and comprehensive criminal background check is vital to determine whether your applicant will be an asset or a liability to your business.
By providing you with superior logic and our industry-leading criminal data, you get the most comprehensive results on your applicant. Information you need to know to make the best hiring and recruiting decisions — and mitigate risk.

SSN Verification

The first search you should perform when conducting a background check is a Social Security Number (SSN) check. The SSN check provides vital information for revealing an applicant’s possible criminal record.

Driving Records

You need to know who’s behind the wheel, especially when transporting goods, services and people. Companies should order driving history reports for all employees who drive company or personal vehicles for business. Our Motor Vehicle Reports (MVRs) provide a comprehensive review of individual driving records, including offenses and citations.

I-9 Verification

We provide a direct link that instantly checks the e-verify database for right to work requirements. E-verify is a joint Social Security Administration and Home Land Security initiative that verifies that a social security number and the owner of that number have a right to work in the US. Several states require the use of the e-verify solution and we can make it hassle free without the training required by E-verify.

Credit Reports

For positions — internal or external — where financial responsibility is critical, we help you make the best selection to mitigate theft, fraud and other types of risk. For any positions that deal with cash, credit, accounting or corporate functions, this search give you the necessary insight into your applicant’s financial responsibility

Employment Verification

Don’t fall prey to a fraudulent resume. For many reasons, numerous applicants falsify their credentials when seeking employment. Confirming previous employment helps you determine the validity of the resume and if the applicant’s credentials fit the job requirements.

Education Verification

Inflating educational accomplishments is one of the most common occurrences found on an applicant’s resume. You need accurate information to determine the legitimacy of your applicant’s qualifications. Learn if your applicant is honest and qualified for the job.

Drug Testing

Many companies and institutions have adopted employee drug-testing policies to preserve the safety and productivity of their employees and organizations.
By using effective and accredited employee drug testing services, you can reduce the harmful effects of drug abuse, including absenteeism, tardiness, employee turnover, attitude problems, embezzlement, low productivity, crime and violence.

Civil Records
