Background Screening Services

Why is Identity Verification Beneficial?

Employers Choice Screening (ECS) offers a comprehensive range of identity verification services that help you properly verify the identity of the applicant you are hiring. Including an identity verification search allows employers to verify the basic information provided to you by your applicant, serving as the foundation for critical searches like criminal record history, motor vehicle record (MVR) history, and when conducting a credit report.

As part of the employee background screening process, verification services such as a Social Security Number Address Trace & Validation Search provide vital information such as additional name variations and aliases used by your applicant, where they were born, lived, and worked to uncover potential adverse criminal history.

Post-hire employment eligibility services ensure your new hire is eligible to work in the U.S. and meet employment eligibility requirements. These tools are essential for building a complete and compliant employee background screening program.
