We perform searches of current records directly at local, county, Superior, and Municipal courts. Criminal searches are available nationwide as well as in the U.S. territories and Canada. We recommend a search of all counties of residence and any AKAs that are identified in an applicant's Social Security Trace. Using our network of researchers, we access the most current information available and report felony and misdemeanor convictions based on applicable federal and state law.
We do not use online or CD-ROM databases, which may be out of date and inaccurate. The Federal Trade Commission in a staff opinion letter stated that "an employment screening service that uses stored data” (which may be as much as 90 days old) does not comply with" the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 613(2). State Repositories are available in some states, but many provide partial or out-of-date information because they are not frequently updated. Except where the repository is updated daily, state repository searches should not replace county criminal searches.
| Social Security Addresses & Verification |
The Social Security Trace checks the validity of an applicant's Social Security Number. If the number is valid, the trace will identify the year and state in which the number was issued. The Social Security Trace will alert you if the number has not been issued, if it was used in a previously filed death claim, or if it was used with any fraudulent activity. The trace also identifies AKA's that have been used and provides previous addresses for the past 15 years, which help in determining which counties we should search for the applicant's criminal record.
Our Employment credit history reports are designed for employment purposes and do not count as an inquiry on the individual’s report or reveal either date of birth or a credit score. The report includes verification of the applicants’ name, their current address and two previous addresses, current phone number, current employer, up to three previous employers, and any aliases associated with the Social Security Number along with the actual credit lines and history. Our Tenant credit report offers all of the above information but includes the date of birth and counts as an inquiry against the persons credit score.
| Bank Charge offs and Bad Checks |
This consumer report covers information reported by banks that is not reported to the top three credit bureaus. It contains information about banking account charge offs, bad checks, and recent inquires by banks. A must for landlords accepting checks and employees handling your financial accounts.
While some companies believe driving records should be used only if an applicant will be driving a company car, crimes are not isolated to where we live and work. Driving record information exposes important character issues. By searching an applicant's driving record, we learn about suspended licenses, failures to appear in court and arrest warrants. In addition, drug and alcohol related driving offenses, such as driving under the influence and possession of drugs, may serve as a warning of potential substance abuse problems that can affect job performance.
Past Employment Verification is recommended for all employees. It is approximated that 38% of all resumes and employment applications contain falsified information. Our in-house Reference and Verification Department will verify the employer's name, applicant's title, dates of employment, salary history (upon client's request), whether they are eligible for rehire, and we ask for additional comments.
We verify college degrees, unless you ask that we verify high school also or "highest degree" earned. Our Education Verification will report the applicant's dates of attendance, graduation date and degree earned. Some educational institutions will report GPA.
| Professional License Verification |
Background Solutions Online's Reference and Verification Department conducts professional license and certification verifications. Our reports reveal the validity of applicants’ professional licenses, date of issue, renewal and expiration dates, current status and any disciplinary action.
Background Solutions Online's Reference and Verification Department conducts phone verifications to the references listed by your applicant. We obtain the context in which the subject is known by the reference, moral opinion, work ethic opinion, character flaws and personality traits.
| Prior Employer Drug and Alcohol Test Results |
Our Reference and Verification Department checks with past employers to obtain information whether applicant 1) took a drug test, 2) failed any drug test, or 3) refused any drug test. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R., previous employers must provide information on past employees' drug and alcohol tests within the two previous years. Information will provide dates of confirmed positive tests for drugs, confirmed alcohol test results of 0.04% or greater, and refusal to take a controlled substance test within the past two years.

The Nationwide Criminal Scan is a powerful, comprehensive database search that provides same day access to the largest criminal database available with millions of offense records. It is a valuable information resource that may discover convictions in counties not identified in a Social Security Trace or Credit History Report if the subject never lived in the county. Records from states are indexed from state correctional institutions, sexual offender and violent offender lists, the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) and some state and county court records.

| International Criminal and Credit Histories |
We offer reports in over 250 countries. The information given can vary widely from country to country but most include the generally information we are used to seeing in the US. You must call for exact pricing and turn around times for these records. Due to the volatile nature of a large number of foreign governments, pricing and turnaround times can vary greatly from order to order. Most reports are delivered on a timely basis. Background Solutions Online has one of the best turnaround-time records in the industry. However, due to difficulties in some countries or circumstances outside our control (holidays, war, civil unrest, disorganized bureaucracies, etc.) delays can occasionally occur. Delivery times given are common averages and not guaranteed. The US is the exception and not the rule in the ease of access and efficient methods of record keeping. Many societies are not open and comparatively disorganized with their data, requiring time-consuming manual searches to be performed.
Required screening of all healthcare workers. FACIS reports on more then 50 healthcare professionals and agencies. FACIS reports information from approximately 800 state and federal agencies including the Office of Inspector General and the General Services Administration. It also includes the OFAC SDN list. This report allows organizations to make different risk management decisions depending on the individual or entity, FACIS® offers three levels of screening. The three levels vary in the depth of the sanction search provided.
- Level 1 conducts a search of the sanction information as taken by the OIG, the GSA and other federal agencies. The information reported in this level meets the government's minimum requirements for sanction screening as set forth in the OIG's Compliance Program Guidance. Intended for low risk workers and contractors or those not involved with patients.
- Level 2 combines the Level 1 search of the federal agencies with disciplinary action information from multiple agencies and one state of choice. Intended for medium risk workers and contractors such as administrators.
- Level 3 is the most robust search option, allowing you to conduct a search of disciplinary actions taken by federal agencies as well as those taken by licensing and certification agencies in all 50 states. This is the most comprehensive search method available. Intended for high risk workers, contractors and those involved with direct patient care such as nurses, physical therapist and physicians.

| Workers Compensation History |
Worker's compensation searches are highly recommended in manufacturing and production environments or wherever physical activity such as lifting is part of the job requirement. This information enables employers to avoid placing employees in positions that may pose risk of re-injury and identify habitual claim filers. Workers’ Compensation History is a statewide search available in most states, but must be conducted post-offer. The search identifies workers compensation claims against an applicant's past employers. The history will report the last five (5) events and include case numbers, locations, case status, dates of injury, body parts injured, type of injury, and all party information including lien claimants. When applicants have filed workers compensation claims against past employers, they often intentionally leave them off their employment applications; you may use falsification of an employment application as grounds for revoking a conditional job offer or terminating a recent hire.
