These integrations make a seamless connection to your placement and onboarding system and our background check processing platform. Manage applicants, place orders, check status and retrieve results all from the convenience of your platform. Setup and configuration of an ATS integration can vary widely. Some are very simple and some very complex so the setup and configuration charges will be determined once we understand the nature of your need. Are you interested in an integration to a system not listed. Contact us today to discuss.
The electronic, paperless process is included in ATS integrated orders.
CIVIL RECORD SEARCHES
Civil 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.
Time Saving Tip: Our system provides time saving functionality which can automatically assign this search type based on known address history for a specified period.
CONSENT BASED SSN VERIFICATION
CBSV verifies whether a name and social security number (SSN) combination match the data in SSA's records. The submitted information is matched against SSA's Master File of Social Security numbers (SSNs). The matching elements include social security number, name and date of birth. Each SSN and name combination submitted to CBSV will be returned with a yes or no verification code indicating the submission either matches or does not match the SSA's records. If applicable, we will report a death indicator when SSA records reflect that the SSN holder is deceased. Please note that the results obtained from CBSV do not confirm or authenticate "proof of identity".
CBSV requires the written consent of the SSN holder, and the verification results can be used only for the reason the number holder specifies.
COUNTY LEVEL COURT RECORDS
When 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.
Time Saving Tip: Our system provides time saving functionality which can automatically assign this search type based on known address history for a specified period.
CREDIT REPORT
You can obtain credit reports for tenant screening purposes only if you are a property management company with a business location from which you manage properties. TruDiligence must conduct an onsite inspection of your business location and perform additional vetting of your account during setup, for which there is a one-time setup fee of $99. Once you are approved for access, the credit reports you obtain will contain a full disclosure of your applicant's financial background and will detail information on all trade accounts, including date opened, credit limit, balance and payment history. Reports also will contain a record of any delinquent accounts, collection accounts, bankruptcy and judgments.
DOCUMENT ANNOTATIONS
Do you have a document specific to your processes that you would like to have an applicant complete electronically during their background check process? The TruDiligence system provides excellent flexibility to upload a required document and have the applicant fill it out and sign it electronically. A PDF of the complete document is then stored within the applicant profile on our system
ELECTRONIC PAPERLESS PROCESS
Our electronic, paperless ordering provides a simple process to send a link to an applicant either by email or text message. The applicant will access the link and provide all of the necessary details needed to process the background check. During this stage, they will also digitally sign any disclosure and authorization documents keeping you completely paperless in your background check processes.
EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION
When supplied with the name and means of contact, TruDiligence will contact the previous employer and obtain information to include:
Dates of employment
Position held
Eligibility for rehire
Cost is per employer verified plus any third-party database verification fees which are billed at cost, where applicable.

FEDERAL LEVEL CRIMINAL SEARCHES
When 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.
Time Saving Tip: Our system provides time saving functionality which can automatically assign this search type based on known address history for a specified period.
HOMELAND SECURITY SEARCH
The 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.

NATIONAL CRIMINAL DATABASE
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.

NATIONAL EVICTION REGISTRY SEARCH
Fewer evictions mean a better bottom line. With the right information, evictions are preventable, because they are predictable. Analysis shows that past rental experience is a critical predictor of future rental behavior. Only National RegistryCHECK gives you exclusive online access to substantial landlord-tenant records, providing critical information not available from credit reports alone.
NATIONAL WARRANT SEARCH
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.
RESIDENCE HISTORY
The 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.
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY
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.

SPECIALITY SERVICES

STATE LEVEL CRIMINAL RECORDS
When 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, weaknesses and compliance requirements, so it's important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application. The list of available states is noted below. These are a combination of arrest records and court records depending on the state source. A detailed description of each state and what the statewide search encompasses is available upon request. These statewide records typically contain felony charges and most misdemeanors. Municipal- or city-level courts may or may not be included, and this municipal coverage will vary by jurisdiction.
Searches are priced on a per-name basis and the total product cost is the cost plus any additional state fee as noted below.
Time Saving Tip: Our system provides time saving functionality which can automatically assign this search type based on known address history for a specified period.
THE WORK NUMBER INCOME VERIFICATION
This service is available to social service and government organizations and utilizes The Work Number as a source to provide detailed income and payroll data for current and former employers. The cost is per employment record returned for the given search scope which may encompass 3 mos, 6 mos, 1 year or 3 years.
