Pre-Employment Screening
Frequently Asked QuestionsCriminal Reports
How far back should I search on potential employees on a criminal report?
By default, Statewide and County criminal reports search back 7 years. However, we can extend this search further back if you determine that additional information is needed based on the applicant’s position.
Is a Federal Criminal search and a National Criminal search the same thing?
How can I find out if my applicant committed a crime under a maiden name or alias?
By performing a social security number trace, we would be able to determine if your applicant has any maiden names or aliases. From there you would then be given an option to order additional reports to determine if your applicant has committed any offenses under any alias/maiden name.
