Employment Background Search

A pre-employment screening program is becoming increasingly necessary for employers today. Studies have found that a considerable percentage of all would-be employees have either criminal records, motor vehicle violations, negative credit information, worker\'s compensation claims, a history of drug use, or have provided false and misleading information about their previous jobs and professional licenses.

A small percentage were deemed unfit for the job after a physical examination. Though these factors matter much for companies, they are almost compulsory for individuals who are looking to employ housemaids, nannies or governesses.

A pre-employment screening will have a criminal and civil Federal court search, credit history and a criminal history report. Some screenings also offer educational and employment verification, and a professional, managerial and executive reference interview.

The educational verification verifies the degrees and the highest earned degree of the said individual, while some searches do go back to high school. Employment verification will scan the previous employment history of the individual. It verifies the name of the employment company and the applicant\'s job profile, dates of employment and salary history.

Certain screening services offer verification of military service information, motor vehicle history reports and driving records, and drug and alcohol tests. Some services even check the social security number of the individual and check its validity, year and the state in which it was issued. The search also finds whether it was used for any fraudulent activities. Along with this, the search will find any aliases registered against the social security number, and also the past addresses of the said individual.
