Employment Screening Products

Credit History
Credit history is reviewed by obtaining a credit bureau report from a national credit bureau/repository. ScreeningONE has direct private connections to Experian and TransUnion credit bureau systems. These bureaus are repositories of credit and debt information, as well as public records such as bankruptcy proceedings, collection accounts and civil litigation records.

Social Security Number Trace
Social Security Number Trace is achieved through a search of consumer records contained in the credit bureau files to verify the number and owner's name and report any addresses associated with the number. This information can 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 Trace is an excellent investigative “starting point.”

Standard County Courthouse Criminal Records Search
The majority of criminal record searching is done at the county level and ScreeningONE believes this is the most accurate method of securing criminal record information. County Criminal Record History is checked through a search of court records by county to locate any record of conviction. ScreeningONE accesses county criminal records via computer-based searches or in-person searches, based upon the jurisdiction. 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.

Comprehensive County Courthouse Criminal Records Search
ScreeningONE’s Standard County Criminal Searches are typically done at the general jurisdiction court level via a public access terminal or directly from the court clerk. Some counties file misdemeanors in separate physical locations from the felonies. And these municipal, justice and lower county jurisdiction courts can sometimes be located miles apart.

In cases where misdemeanors are housed separately, ScreeningONE’s Comprehensive County Criminal Search will allow you to receive all misdemeanor records regardless of where they are located. This expanded misdemeanor search offers a more comprehensive criminal history. ScreeningONE searches the additional misdemeanor courts as necessary and retrieves ALL felony and misdemeanor records within that jurisdiction for the past 7 or 10 years. ScreeningONE’s Comprehensive County Criminal Search provides you with the most complete criminal record report available.

Statewide Central Repository Criminal Searches
State Criminal Record History is checked through a search of court records by state to locate any record of conviction. When conducting a statewide background check, ScreeningONE searches both state felonies and state misdemeanors. ScreeningONE believes the most accurate method of securing criminal record information is by accessing this information at the county level, but 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; however, not all states offer a statewide search.

National Criminal Records Search
A National Criminal Search 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.

Federal Criminal Repository Search
A Federal Criminal 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. Federal Criminal records are maintained in federal courts and are completely separate from the state courts systems. Federal criminal records are searched by name only and the results are reviewed against other identifiers such as date of birth, social security number or driver’s license number. Federal criminal reports usually include the jurisdiction searched, the individual’s personal identifiers as they appear in the case file, the file date, charges, disposition, disposition dates and sentencing information.

Sexual Offender Searches
Sexual Offender Searches are currently available in all 50 states. 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.

Civil Records Search
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. We also offer a 10 year civil index search.

Motor Vehicle Record Search
ScreeningONE’s 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 enables ScreeningONE to have expedited turnaround times for our clients. All motor vehicle records obtained through the ScreeningONE system have a user friendly, readable format that interprets the various state codes and provides a report that is uniform across all states.

Drug Screening
Drug Screening is utilized to identify applicants or employees who are current users of illegal drugs through analysis of a body fluid or specimen. ScreeningONE provides comprehensive implementation and management of a urine drug screening program for applicants and incumbent employees from its service centers. ScreeningONE identifies and coordinates specimen collection services, laboratory analysis and physician review and reporting of test results, and many other program administration services. Our Medical Review Officers are nationally recognized experts in Drug Testing, keeping ScreeningONE at the very forefront of both compliance and Drug Testing technology.

I-9 Verification
ScreeningONE’s Form I-9 employment eligibility verifications are conducted electronically through a direct link to the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration.

National Wants & Warrants
ScreeningONE performs a search for any outstanding felony wants and warrants issued by law enforcement. The types of warrants retrieved range from misdemeanor warrants for bad checks, traffic violations, failure to appear, and unpaid fines to felony warrants for parole or probation violations, robbery, forgery, kidnapping or murder.

OIG/GSA Excluded Parties Search
ScreeningONE conducts this search through The Department of Health and Human Services’ database to verify 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 none of their employees are on this list.

Worker's Compensation Search
ScreeningONE conducts this search to obtain information regarding previous or existing workers’ compensation claims and any reports of previous on the job injuries. This information allows an employer to conduct post-job offer reviews in compliance with state and federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Since federal and state laws strictly regulate the use of these records, an employer should have policies and procedures in place before requesting or utilizing these records to ensure compliance with these laws. Our compliance department is always available to respond to your questions.
