Tired of a painful background screening process?
What causes the pain?
In general, background screening vendors divide each report so that a single background check on a candidate can have three, four, or more individuals working on your candidate's professional reference, employment and education verifications, and criminal record research report.
These individuals are anonymous, there is no accountability, and generally have little or no interaction with a recruiter. This is not a recipe for success
United States Employees
Our pre-employment background check solutions include researchers who are located in the United States.
Your candidate’s personal information, and in fact their entire life history, is not outsourced outside our borders where there is little identity protection.
Our Strategic Solution How many background vendors can make this claim?
Direct accountability. Only one researcher handles all aspects of each pre-employment background check. The name, phone number, and email address for our researcher are included in every background investigation report we create.
Recruiters and hiring managers are encouraged to reach out to our researcher to discuss any aspect of the background investigation, request special handling, and additional research. This interaction results in an important professional rapport and a better understanding of how we can provide the information you require to make an informed hiring decision on an expedited basis. Our researchers and client recruiters are on a first-name basis.
Do you know how your background vendor conducts criminal research around the country?
This can be really painful. Conduct a search for FCRA lawsuits to find out how many vendors do not follow FCRA guidelines. Not all criminal record checks are conducted the same way. In fact, vendors are often deceptive regarding how they conduct research. Deception is not something you want in a vendor.
The PBSA accreditation process requires that vendors must state in the candidate's report how and where a criminal record search is conducted. Pre-Employment Screening Solutions include primary-source criminal record checks conducted by the State Police or another statewide agency specifically designated to conduct criminal record checks for employment purposes. Our background investigation report will state that a search was conducted through the appropriate state agencies.
For example, the report should state the New Jersey State Police, the Office of the Court of Administration in New York, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, etc.
If your background screening report does not indicate research was conducted through a state agency, we need to talk.
