Monday, May 4, 2009 - How Do You Check the Background of a Job Applicant who is New To Your Community?
The days of hiring only people you know from your community are long gone. Now, job applicants at your door are coming from all over the U.S. and the world. You don't know anything about them.
So, what's a quick and cost effective way to 'throw a net' over the U.S. to learn if they have any criminal histories? CRIMECHEX PLUS is an instant criminal record check that includes the following:
- Validation of the social security number (SSN) and a list of all the addresses associated with the applicant for the last 1-20 years (when the SSN has been used as an identifier). You will learn about any other names (maiden, religious, etc.) associated with your applicant.
- Then, all of the names and other identifiers are checked in criminal record and sex offender databases in all 50 states (the states vary in the details they provide). You will get ANY criminal histories that are provided.
This is a great way to get a quick look around the country for criminal activity. The database also includes over 20 international and U.S. federal databases.
