Background Screening Services

Criminal Record Searches help you make informed hiring decisions and build a team you can trust

A comprehensive employee criminal background check helps you mitigate risk, protecting your business, employees, and reputation. Determining if an applicant has a criminal record is a crucial step in assessing the risk of hiring an individual for your organization. Although having a criminal record is not an automatic disqualifying factor in employment, having that knowledge allows you, as the hiring manager, to have all the necessary information to make an educated hiring decision.

By using the results of the criminal background check, you can assess the relevance of the criminal record against the position, level of responsibility, exposure to company assets or customers, and other applicable criteria.
