Employment
Screening Products
Bankruptcy,
Judgments & Liens
A Bankruptcy, Judgment & Lien Search can determine
the assets of an individual and can give a snapshot
of an applicant's financial history.
Business
or Personal Reference Verification
A reference verification includes contact with references
listed on the application or developed during the investigation
to determine time known, frequency of contact, relationship
and whether or not the reference would recommend the
applicant for employment.
Civil
Records Search
Civil reports cover actions relating to private rights
and remedies sought by civil actions including divorce,
bankruptcy, judgments, garnishments, child custody,
child support, consumer problems and domestic disputes.
A search of the upper and/or lower court records provides
a report of any civil litigation listed on the index
involving a particular individual matched by name only.
Results include the names of plaintiff and defendant,
date filed, type of action and current status or disposition.
The standard civil index search encompasses the last
7 years of activity within each court.
Credit Report
Credit history is reviewed by obtaining a credit bureau
report from a national credit bureau/repository. We
have on-line access to Experian and TransUnion credit
bureau systems. A credit report is a powerful indicator
of financial background and responsibility. Credit reports
provide credit and debt information as well as public
records such as bankruptcy proceedings, collection accounts
and civil litigation records.
Commercial
Driver's License Information Systems (CDLIS)
The CDLIS report is a required report for clients within
the commercial trucking industry. Section 391.23 (a)
(1) of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
requires an employer to obtain a driver's record for
any license held within three years prior to employment.
This report provides commercial driving records for
three years, verification of driving privileges, previously
held licenses, names used and identification verification.
County
Courthouse Records Search
The majority of all criminal record searching is done
at the county level and these searches provide the most
complete criminal background information. The search
locations are selected based on information provided
within the social security number report, information
in the employment application or designated by the client.
This search often requires a researcher to physically
visit the court and review records. It is most accurate
when run in conjunction with our IDCheck.
Education
History Verification
Education History Verification is accomplished directly
through the educational institution. Inquiries are made
concerning dates of attendance, date of graduation or
award, type of degree and fields of study.
Employment
History Verification
Employment History Verification is obtained through
direct contact with a supervisor or through the Human
Resources Department. Our verification program obtains
pertinent information from previous employers.
I-9
Verification
Form I-9 employment eligibility verifications are conducted
electronically through a direct link to the Department
of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration.
Using information on newly hired employees' I-9 Forms,
you will be able to verify the accuracy of Social Security
Numbers, Immigration "A" numbers, and I-94
arrival/departure numbers and in real-time obtain employees'
legal right to work status with a DHS-issued verification
number.
Federal
Criminal Repository Search
Federal crimes are tried in US Federal District Courts
within each state. This search will return convictions
for violations of federal criminal laws, including federal
criminal fraud statutes, drug trafficking, conspiracy,
counterfeiting and a number of violent crimes. NeighborScreen
accesses these records via field agents or on-line,
whichever method is applicable. Records can be searched
by name only and criminal background checks may reveal
multiple records, which require further research to
confirm the identity of the parties involved.
Motor
Vehicle Record Search
A Motor Vehicle Record Search obtains the driving record
report from the specified state's department of motor
vehicles. Our direct connection to state departments
of motor vehicles ensures expedited turnaround times
for our clients.
National
Criminal File
Discover whether your applicant has a criminal conviction
and/or history. The National Criminal File is a comprehensive
search of multiple criminal record sources, including
federal fugitive files, state and county criminal record
repositories, prison parole and release files, sex offender
data and records from other state agencies. This exclusive
criminal search includes access to more than 200 million
criminal conviction records across the United States.
Results are typically available in minutes when ordered
via our secure web-based system, and all information
is FCRA compliant.
OFAC
Patriot Act Terrorist Report
The OFAC database is maintained by the Department of
Treasury and identifies individuals and organizations
which have been sanctioned and whose assets are subject
to freezing. The purpose of this database is to prevent
businesses from providing financial support to terrorist
and drug trafficking foreign nationals and organizations.
OIG/GSA Excluded Parties Search
OIG/GSA Excluded Parties Search is conducted through
The Department of Health & Human Services' computerized
database. This database provides a list of individuals/entities
that are excluded from participation in Medicare, Medicaid
and other Health Care Programs. All healthcare providers
that receive funds from federal healthcare programs
are required to verify that no employee is on this list.
Professional
License, Credential & Certification Verification
License, Credential & Certification Verifications
are conducted through appropriate state governments
or professional associations when clients specify the
license designation and the source to be contacted (i.e.
attorney, health care professional, CPA, etc.). The
license grantor is asked about the date the license
was issued, expiration date, any restrictions attached
to the license and any suspension or revocation.
Sexual
Offender Searches
Individual State Sexual Offender searches provide information
on sexual offenders who are required to register in
the state in which they reside. Information returned
from these inquires may include name, aliases, dates
of birth, residential addresses, employers, location
of conviction and specific sexual offense.
Social
Security Number Verification
Social Security Number Verification is achieved through
a search consumer records contained in the credit bureau
files. This information can also be compared with the
relevant residential address history on the employment
application to ensure the accuracy of the records provided
by the applicants. The Social Security Number Verification
is an excellent investigative "starting point."
Statewide Criminal Search
A statewide repository search can be an effective means
of gathering criminal information because it provides
the benefit of searching all counties within a given
state, compared to specific, interstate county searches.
Workers'
Compensation Search
The Workers' Compensation search is conducted to obtain
information about workers' compensation claims and reports
of previous on-the-job injuries. This information allows
the employer to conduct post-job offer reviews in compliance
with state and federal laws, including the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA). Federal and state laws
strictly regulate the use of these records. The employer
should have policies and procedures in place before
requesting or utilizing these records, in order to ensure
strict compliance with both state and federal laws.
