Background Checks

Credit Check

An employment credit report let’s you know an applicant’s level of financial responsibility, which can be particularly valuable when hiring for certain positions. This search provides a trend report detailing an applicant’s ability to meet regular financial obligations and pertinent public records, such as collections, lawsuits or judgments. Identification information, former addresses and past employment may be included. We strongly endorse and support the letter and spirit of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, believing it recognizes and safeguards the public, while being responsible for the fair treatment of consumers. All searches are conducted thoroughly, while protecting the legal rights of all applicants at the same time.

Employment Verification

Provides direct contact with previous employers to confirm stated work history, including dates of hire, terminations, job title and rehire eligibility. You might be surprised at the number of applicants who lie about previous work experience. It is said that history repeats itself, so information from previous employers and co-workers is extremely valuable when compiling a complete profile of your applicant.
