Criminal Background Checks

We conduct local, state, and federal criminal background checks from primary sources providing our clients with actionable intelligence enabling them to make informed hiring decisions. Safeguard your company and employees by performing due diligence in the employment screening and hiring processes by conducting thorough criminal background checks on prospective employees.

To begin a criminal record check, we suggest conducting county-level court record searches in the counties where the individual lived, worked and/or attended school during the last seven years. County level court record searches provide the most recent and up-to-date information.

If a criminal record is located using another search method (i.e., a database search), a county-level search is required.

To supplement county-level court record checks, we conduct searches of criminal record databases which can include local, county, & statewide court records; criminal justice data; correctional data; federal court records; nationwide wants and warrants; multi-state sex & violent offender registry; and the US Global Terrorists list for Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and Blocked Persons among others.

Don't leave these important tasks to inexperienced and uninformed individuals or screening companies. Keep your workplace safe, productive, and reduce staff turnover.

Quality Assurance & Legal Compliance

Our quality assurance practices ensure that we are in compliance with the Fair Credit and Reporting Act (FCRA) and other pertinent laws and our reports are of the highest possible quality. Our records are from primary sources, and when appropriate we conduct telephone interviews translating into a very high accuracy rate. We retrieve the most up-to-date and accurate information for each order, and we do not maintain proprietary criminal databases nor recycle criminal records.

We are well versed with the FCRA, and we can provide your company with critical compliance information and many of the FCRA required documents for each stage of the process.

Our employment screening team includes industry experts and specialists in the legal field, human resources, and government services. We also have a large network of professionals across the country that we can draw on. Put your mind at ease by knowing that experienced professionals are conducting your company's employment screening.

"Employers order criminal records on applicants because the law requires it...A growing reason why businesses order criminal records is the fear of being sued for negligent hiring... Watching an employer who does a lot of hiring but neglects to order criminal records is like watching a train wreck unfold. You can see the disaster coming from a long way away and the wreck is inevitable, but you can't do anything to stop it."
