List of Preemployment Screening Services

Check felony and misdemeanor records on a statewide basis, where available. If statewide is not available, check will be done on a county-wide basis. Federal court records can also be searched. Past criminal convictions discovered after an employee is on the job can result in costly negligent hiring lawsuits.

Reveal a history of claim abuse. This report also will enable an employer to place an employee in a position that will not be a health or safety risk. This check is done in accordance with ADA requirements.

Confirm validity of job applicant's drivers' license. This report will also reveal accidents, moving violations and DUI's. If infractions or accidents occur while the employee is driving on company business, whether in a company or private vehicle, the employer can be held responsible. Failure to check records prior to hiring could result in negligent hiring lawsuits.

Reveal a job applicant's credit worthiness. This is a valuable tool if the prospective employee will be in a position of financial responsibility. The report is obtained in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and will indicate indebtedness, payment history, judgements, liens and bankruptcies.

Check the validity of a job applicant's Social Security Number and reveal previous addresses. Incorrect social security numbers found on resumes and job applications are not always an innocent mistake. This check also reveals if anyone else has used this number for credit purposes and other locations where the applicant has lived. It is extremely helpful to know if a prospective employee has lived in another state/county so that you can ensure proper "due diligence" by checking criminal court records in other locations.

Verify that prospective employees actually have the degree/diploma/certification that they claim. Many applicants "pad" their resume with false claims. The Internet is full of web sites that produce fake diplomas ("diploma mills"). Carefully assess the applicant's educational credentials by letting Single Source ensure that your potential employees have the education/degree(s) that they claim to have.

Verify the information supplied by the applicant concerning previous employment. Often applicants claim work experience, job titles and salaries that they did not have.

Search the national repository which identifies individuals/entities who may no longer be capable of providing Medicare benefits resulting from a government placed sanction. Services provided by excluded individuals/entities are not reimbursable by Federal health care programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare and the Veterans programs.

Search the state or county repository of known sex offenders to ensure that the person you are considering for a position in your company is not a convicted sex offender. Rules vary from state to state regarding the dissemination of this data. Contact Single Source for availablitiy and pricing.

Ensure that prospective employees have the authentic professional license(s) needed to perform the job. A variety of professional license verifications are available. Contact Single Source for more information.

Verify personal information about a job applicant based on references listed on their resume or employment application. Information such as length of time known and in what capacity, general impressions, strengths/weaknesses, and ability to interact with others can be verified.

Search within a specific federal jurisdiction for conviction records found at the federal court.

Search vehicle registration records for a specific vehicle. Searches are available by state or individual's name and address.

Search a specific jurisdiction for records of any bankruptcy proceedings.

Search the Uniform Commercial Code in a specific state (check with Single Source for which states are available.)

Search for a specific vehicle tag number in a specific state. Some states restrict the availability and use of this information. Check with Single Source for more details.

Search county or city jurisdiction that lists civil cases for an individual as plaintiff or defendant. These are usually small claims filings, evictions, and repossessions.

Screen both potential and existing employees to reduce or eliminate accidents or situations caused by workers under the influence of controlled substances. Pre-employment drug testing and random screenings during employment are critical for businesses where vehicle or machinery operation is required. As a matter of fact, some states offer insurance rate reductions and other incentives for companies that implement drug testing as a means to create a drug-free workplace. Implementing such a program is a vital part of a comprehensive approach to establishing a safer workplace. If your company currently does not have a drug testing program, let Single Source Services help you establish one. If you do have an existing program, we can help you make it even more efficient by providing fast and reliable service for a cost well within your company’s budget.
