While on the surface, criminal record research seems like a simple public record check, there can be complex layers and nuances that even the most experiences of specialists can find mindboggling.
From jurisdiction to jurisdiction, across more than 3,000 county courthouses, the procedure and accessibility of public record research vary, in some cases, significantly. Failing to comprehend and manage the complexities and particulars of the research process can lead to huge risks. From making a hazardous hiring decision, to unjustly excluding the right applicant, to being liable to fines or lawsuits for failing to adhere to compliance requirements, there is a strong motivation to get the research done right the first time.
Clients depend on their background screening provider to ensure it’s done right.
