What Is A Person Search?
A person search is a search product that provides current and previous addresses associated with a person’s name, date of birth and Social Security number. The search provides the full addresses and approximate dates the person was associated with in the past.
Background Screening, Access Fees and Pricing
Sometimes your background screening company may charge you something referred to as “access fees.” These fees are nothing more than a tax levied by a particular county or state to access either criminal records or Division of Motor Vehicle (DMV) records.
Why Background Screening Accreditation Matters to Your Dealership
Working with an accredited background screening company ensures that the company is providing you with the best screening services while adhering to all of the legal standards applicable and best business practices.
The Myth About a National Criminal History Search
Anyone who has the responsibility of hiring employees and overseeing employment background screening for their dealership has heard the term “national criminal history” search. Although the title sounds all-encompassing when doing a background search, it really is not.
Is An Arrest A Conviction?
The average person may not understand the difference between being arrested and being convicted of a crime. As an employer conducting employment background checks, understanding the difference is imperative. An arrest is not a conviction.
Employment Screening and Credit Reports
Pulling credit reports on a customer makes sense when determining the credit worthiness of a person who may be financing a car or other item. However, pulling a credit report based upon a person seeking employment with a company is a whole different matter.
Simple Requirements When Conducting Employee Screening
No one disputes that background checks for employment applicants are necessary. Background checks are just a part of an overall, comprehensive onboarding process an employer should use to ultimately find the most qualified person to work with the company.
