SEARCH DESCRIPTIONS

PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING

• Consent Based Social Verification (CBSV)- Direct access to the SSA Master File and Death Index for all business purposes with instant, online validation of personal identifiers.  This is the best way to counter “SSN Randomization” which began in June 2011.
• Social Security Number Trace-Provides names and addresses associated with the applicant’s social security number.  It can also establish the time frame of when the social security number was issued, what state it was issued in, and whether or not it is a valid social security number.  This can also help establish the counties in which the candidate has resided.  NOTE: This is not an official social security verification with the Social Security Administration.
• SureHire 360SEARCH-Multi-Jurisdictional Criminal Records Database Search–This is an instant database search with millions of records that are obtained from county, state, and federal entities as well as incarceration and law enforcement records. This also includes the sex offender registry from all 50 states, D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands along with National Security searches. SureHire 360 verifies potentially relevant matches by reviewing court records before including them in a pre-employment screening report. Failure to do so is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Additional charges for county verifications may apply.

This search is conducted per name, per county. Court Access Fees apply in some counties.
•  Federal Criminal Search- These courts contain records of federal level crimes, such as bank robbery, embezzlement, mail fraud, interstate drug trafficking, kidnapping, internet child pornography, immigration violations, and weapon trafficking to name just a few. Employers should be aware that positive identification verification can be difficult with federal searches due to a lack of personal identifiers in federal court files.
•  Motor Vehicle Report – This is a statewide search with all information obtained directly from the state of issue and provides a summary of the applicant’s 3-5 year driving history which may include traffic violations, driving related offenses, and restrictions/suspensions/ or revocations. If an applicant has changed his or her state of residence in the last 3 years, we suggest that you order a search on both states. All records are accessed in compliance with the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA)   and state law. State Fees are additional.

• Credit Report- A credit report used for employment purposes describes an applicant’s credit history over the most recent seven years and is not the same as a standard credit report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act specifies that certain information such as account numbers are not disclosed.  Other information that is included are bankruptcies, liens, and civil judgments.  These reports are also useful as an additional source of identity verification as they provide information on the applicant’s aliases, social security number, address history, and employment history.  A record of your inquiry will appear on the applicant’s future credit reports, but it will not affect their credit score.  To insure the confidentiality of a candidate’s credit report, information contained in the report cannot be read or described to clients over the phone. SureHire 360 will verify the existence and authenticity of any company requesting credit reports. A physical inspection of your business will be required before a credit report will be released.   NOTE: It is advisable to have standard policies and procedures for the use of credit reports for employment.
• Education Verification- Our default search is a verification of the highest degree earned or last institution attended.  However, we will confirm all degrees earned and all institutions attended when you specify this on your order.  If the candidate is a current student, then planned completion, credits earned, and student status will be obtained.  Pricing for education verifications are per degree or educational institution verified.  Some additional third party fees may apply.     
• Employment Verification- Based on a company’s policy, information reported may include employment dates, positions held, salary, confirmation of specific job duties, reason for termination, rehire status, and job-performance.  The present/current employer will also be contacted with the applicant’s permission. Some employers utilize a third party to provide employment verification data.  Any charges from these third parties will be charged in addition to the search fee.
• Personal or Professional Reference –A candidate’s personal or professional references can help you determine whether your candidate will be a good fit for your company.

Tenant Screening

Tenant Screening is a process used primarily by residential landlords and property managers to evaluate prospective tenants.  The purpose is to assess the likelihood the tenant will fulfill the terms of the lease or rental agreement and will also take great care of the rental property in question.

Credit reports with a score, criminal background checks, and evicition records are all part of tenant screening.  Let SureHire 360 help you make those decisions with our SureTenant 360 package.
