Criminal Background Check Services & Criminal Records

Establishing whether an employee has a criminal record is a crucial step in assessing the risk of bringing that person into your organization. While not every crime would automatically prevent an applicant from being hired, having that knowledge allows you to make an educated decision. You can use the results of a criminal background check to then assess the applicability of the record to the position’s level of responsibility, exposure to assets or customers, and other criteria. Conducting a criminal history search that is tailored to the requirements of the position not only helps to lessen the potential for on-the-job incidents but can also help organizations avoid or defend potential negligent hiring lawsuits.

How Does Federal Criminal Records Search Work?

Services-Federal-Criminal-Records-Search-02.jpg

Federal Criminal Records Searches are created when specifically ordered by the client. Federal Criminal Records Search benefits clients who are looking to search all federal district courts with results provided in a consolidated report. The search is processed by searching the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) federal index. HireRight requires an applicant’s first name, middle name or initial, and last name to run a search. Additional identifiers such as previous employment and past addresses are helpful in confirming or eliminating records as federal records historically have limited identifiers within their case details. Case files associated with search results are reviewed to find as many identifiers as possible, which HireRight then uses to determine if a case is a match to the applicant prior to reporting.

This search provides employers with information that is not available with criminal searches conducted at the county or state level.
