This search is a combination of several popular database searches, packaged together at a discount.  It includes:

National Criminal Database
National Sex Offender Database
OFAC / Homeland Security Database

See the individual product descriptions for details.

The 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.

This 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.

Most jurisdictions require any individual convicted of a sexually related crime to register with the county he/she resides in.  TruDiligence can assist in searching an applicant against these databases to ensure the individual is not a convicted sex offender.

Searches are available on a state-by-state basis or through a national index and are priced on a per name searched basis.

Social media screening has become an integral part of background checks in today's digital age, and its importance cannot be overstated. With the proliferation of social media platforms and the increasing use of online networking, individuals are sharing more personal information about themselves than ever before. As a result, employers are turning to social media screening as a valuable tool to gain insights into a candidate's character, behavior, and suitability for a position.

Social media screening offers a window into an individual's character and behavior outside of the professional realm. While resumes and interviews provide valuable information about a candidate's qualifications and skills, they often only present a polished version of the individual. Social media, on the other hand, can reveal a more candid and unfiltered portrayal of a person's personality, interests, and values. Employers can assess whether a candidate's online persona aligns with the company's culture and values, helping to identify potential red flags early in the hiring process.

Social media screening can also help uncover any concerning behavior or activities that may not be disclosed by the candidate. Employers have a responsibility to ensure a safe and productive work environment for their employees, and social media screening allows them to identify any potential risks or liabilities associated with a candidate. For example, posts or photos depicting illegal activities, discriminatory behavior, or violent tendencies can raise serious concerns about an individual's suitability for a position, especially in roles that require trustworthiness, integrity, or good judgment.

In addition to assessing a candidate's qualifications and suitability for a position, social media screening can also help protect a company's reputation and mitigate potential risks. In today's interconnected world, employees are seen as representatives of their employers both online and offline. Any inappropriate behavior or controversial opinions expressed by an employee on social media can reflect poorly on the company and damage its brand image. By conducting thorough social media screening, employers can identify and address any issues proactively, minimizing the risk of reputational damage or public backlash.

It's essential to approach social media screening with caution and adhere to legal and ethical guidelines. Employers must respect candidates' privacy rights and avoid discriminatory practices or biases when reviewing social media profiles. It's crucial to focus on job-related criteria and refrain from making decisions based on irrelevant or protected characteristics such as race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
