CONSENT BASED SSN VERIFICATIONConsent based social security number verification (CBSV) authenticates socials security numbers against the Social Security Administration's master file. This includes three elements that ensure a perfect match - the social security number, name and date of birth. This verification requires written consent of the SSN holder, and the results can only be used for the reasons explained to the holder. Social security number verification can be quickly and easily submitted and consent can be obtained at the point of application. This process results in a yes or no verification code, indicating that the submission either matches or does not match the SSA's records. If the SSN submitted belongs to a deceased person, a death indicator will also be reported. This is a quick and easy way to protect yourself from application fraud and to make sure that the information submitted is correct. Pick the best candidate for the position using reliable and verified information. Before making a decision, contact TruDiligence for social security verification of potential new hires.

COUNTY LEVEL COURT RECORDSWhen conducting a pre-screen background investigation, a criminal history is of utmost importance. These searches typically are placed in two main categories: arrest records and court records. The use of each category has its strengths and weaknesses, so it is important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application. County Level court records typically are housed within the courthouse at the county level. To simplify the system, each county jurisdiction typically is broken into three levels. The first and highest level is the district court, sometimes referred to as superior court. At this level, you generally will find most felony cases. The second level is the county court. At this level, you will find most serious misdemeanor cases. The lowest level is the municipal court, sometimes referred to as city court. At this level, you typically will find most minor misdemeanors and petty offenses, usually cases where the individual simply was issued a summons to appear in court. When conducting a County level Court Record Search, TruDiligence always will search the first and second level courts, where available. Municipal courts can be searched, but are considered a special request and will involve an additional charge. Pricing is per name, per jurisdiction searched and may vary in some jurisdictions. Less than 10 percent of the counties charge court-imposed fees on all records ordered. These fees are billed over and above the record retrieval costs. Contact us for a detailed listing of counties with extra costs.

CIVIL RECORD SEARCHESCivil records are a group of public records that pertain to civil registry records, civil family matters and non criminal civil offenses. These records vary a lot because of the nature of the information that is recorded. By definition, civil pertains to citizens and there are a multitude of different records that define what is recorded. Pricing is per name, per jurisdiction searched and may vary in some jurisdictions. Less than 10 percent of the counties charge court-imposed fees on all records ordered. These fees are billed over and above the record retrieval costs. Contact us for a detailed listing of counties with extra costs.

EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATIONPrevious employment and experience are often the most decisive factor separating possible candidates. Part of TruDiligence's applicant screening includes employment verification in a timely and efficient manner. When making decisions for adding members of your team, you need accurate information without delay. TruDiligence confirms information on applications quickly so you can make these important decisions faster. Verifying previous employers and experience will not only show that the candidates you are selecting are honest and truthful, but that they also have experience and dedication. The employment check will show how long the applicant worked for their previous employer, the position they held and if they were eligible for rehire. All this information shows how the prospective candidate interacted with their previous employer, if their previous employer valued their input to the company and the position, responsibility and experience they had in the job. Make sure that the experience that your applicants list is authentic and that you choose the best candidate for the job. Contact TruDiligence today to learn more and start applicant screening.

FEDERAL LEVEL CRIMINAL SEARCHESWhen conducting a pre-screen background investigation, a criminal history is of utmost importance. These searches typically are placed in two main categories: arrest records and conviction records. The use of each category has its strengths and weaknesses, so it is important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application. Federal-level searches involve cases in which a person was tried by the United States government in a U.S. District Court. These searches are conducted using a public access system and are researched court by court. The information returned will consist of the defendant's name, case number, case type and any available case details. One disadvantage to the federal access system is that the defendant's identifiers usually are limited to name only. Therefore, if a match is found, additional research may be required at the court level to confirm a positive identification. If this is necessary, additional research costs may be incurred. TruDiligence will contact you and gain approval before taking action that requires any additional research costs. All criminal searches are per name / per jurisdiction searched.

NATIONAL CRIMINAL DATABASEThe National Criminal Database is a "third party" database which comprises records obtained from the state Department of Corrections and the Administrative Office of the Courts, where available. Coverage areas and update schedules vary by jurisdiction. Coverage details are available at https://www.trudiligence.com/docs/nationalcriminalcoverage.pdf. National database systems are dependent upon getting their data from the individual state and county jurisdictions. If an individual state or county does not update its data to the national system on a regular basis, or at all for that matter, the system may have holes in its coverage area. Therefore, national database records should be used only as a tool to uncover areas requiring additional research. TruDiligence does not recommend the use of national database records as a standalone search nor a means of promoting due diligence in screening practices or maintaining compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. County-level courthouse records are recommended for this purpose. *IMPORTANT NOTE: Should you choose to use the National Criminal Database as a broad search tool and a record is found, the search results automatically will be validated with a direct search of the source county courthouse records. This validation is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act Sections 607 and 613 to ensure accuracy of the result provided by the "third party" database. Any additional cost associated with this process will be billed at published rates which currently are $8.00 and up for county-level court record verification. A "no record" result will turn around instantly however, when this verification on "yes record hits" is required the results of the completed search will be delayed by 24 - 72 hours while the verification search completes. Pricing is on a per-name-searched basis.

NATIONAL WARRANT SEARCHThis is a nationwide search for outstanding warrants on a subject. The warrant must be active and the jurisdiction must be willing to extradite the subject on the charges in order for the warrant to show on this search. In most cases, this search will return the date the warrant was issued and by which jurisdiction. The charge or crime for which the warrant was issued typically will not be provided. A subsequent search of criminal records may be necessary to gain this information. This search is priced on a per name basis.

HOMELAND SECURITY SEARCHThe Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. OFAC acts under presidential wartime and national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze foreign assets under U.S. jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments. TruDiligence provides access not only to OFAC, but 1500 other lists and entities as well, to assist in U.S. Patriot Act compliance. Searches are priced on a per name basis.

RESIDENCE HISTORYThe applicant's social security number is traced through a vast resource of more than 400 data sources and provides a listing of the names and addresses linked to the applicant's social security number. This extremely useful tool is imperative in uncovering any additional names, aliases or addresses the applicant may have utilized, but chose not to reveal during the application process. Furthermore, when combined with a criminal history, the social security trace is invaluable in making sure all known names and jurisdictions are encompassed while conducting the search. Secondly, the trace will validate the year and state in which the Social Security Administration issued the number. This information can be useful in uncovering potentially fraudulent social security numbers.

STATE LEVEL CRIMINAL RECORDSWhen you are conducting a prescreen background investigation, it is of utmost importance to obtain a criminal history. These searches typically fall in two main categories: arrest records and court records. The use of each category has its strengths and weaknesses, so it's important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application. Arrest records usually are housed at the state level in a databank maintained by the governing judicial body within each state. Many of these systems are fingerprint driven, meaning when an individual is arrested and fingerprinted those fingerprints are submitted to the state databank for tracking purposes. The records that subsequently are pulled indicate an individual's arrest record based on those fingerprint submissions. If an illegible fingerprint card is submitted, the state will return it to be redone. By then, the subject already may have been released from custody and is not available to be re-fingerprinted. Subsequently, there will not be a record of this arrest in the system. The primary disadvantage to most arrest record systems is they do not contain disposition information on the charges. This means you will not know if the person was convicted of the crime for which he was arrested. However, using arrest records also can be an advantage. The arrest record in itself may show a pattern that could pose a potential concern, depending on the position for which your applicant is applying. This pattern could be critically important, regardless of whether a conviction was entered, depending on the position you're trying to fill. Finally, statewide records are not available in all states, and some states have lengthy turnaround times that may cause their use to be ineffective for your purposes. Therefore, it is imperative that you determine if arrest records will best suit your needs. All criminal searches are on a per-name, per-jurisdiction-searched basis. Important Note: The validity of statewide systems also can be dependent upon their ability to get data from individual county jurisdictions. If a county does not update its data to the statewide system on a regular basis, or at all for that matter, the statewide system may have holes in its coverage area. Therefore, statewide records should be used only as a cursory review of an applicant's record. TruDiligence does not recommend the use of statewide records as a means of promoting due diligence in hiring practices or maintaining compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. County-level courthouse records are recommended for this purpose. Statewide records are not available in all states, because some states restrict access to their statewide databases to law enforcement personnel only. The states currently available are listed with their respective prices and are priced on a per-name basis. The turnaround times quoted are averages and may vary depending on state backlog; therefore, they cannot be guaranteed.

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRYState and federal law takes especial care to ensure that records of sexually related crimes can be easily accessed by the public and the presence of sex offenders are known to neighborhoods, schools and employers. Most jurisdictions require individuals convicted of sex crimes to register with the county he or she resides in. While these databases are open and available, many employers trust information provided on applications and fail to double-check these records. TruDiligence checks sex offender databases for you when screening applicants or employees, making your workplace safe and secure. Sex crimes are often unreported when applying for jobs and many employers do not think to check these databases. Sexual offenses repeated in the workplace are disastrous for both the company and the staff, and checking these records helps to prevent dangerous or harmful situations. TruDiligence can assist in searching an applicant against these databases to ensure the individual is not a convicted sex offender, keeping your workers, clients, customers and supervisors safe. Searches are available on a state-by-state basis or through a national index and are priced on a per name basis. For complete due diligence on all employees or applicants you are considering, contact TruDiligence today.
