Criminal Record
Why Perform a Criminal Record Check?
A criminal record check is an important step in protecting your company. This search can make you aware of liability and risks a potential hire can bring to your company. A pre-employment background check can help with protecting assets, avoiding negligent hire claims, minimizing risk, complying with regulations, and avoiding an overall bad hire. It’s not uncommon for applicants to put false information on job applications, especially when in regards to criminal records.
How Does a Criminal Record Check Work?
Criminal record checks can return felony and misdemeanor records or their equivalent. The search is conducted based predominantly on name and date of birth. Most jurisdictions have removed the social security number from the criminal record or cannot disclose it due to statute of limitations.
Absolute Background Search, Inc. standard reporting policy is:
- All felonies regardless of age, and misdemeanors within 10 years (if specific state/local law is more restrictive than local law will prevail on reporting rules).
- Criminal Records are obtained from many sources. Regardless of the source, all criminal records are verified at the official repository for each jurisdiction. This is REQUIRED by LAW, due to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
