Personal Background Searches
In background screening your goal is to gain a holistic view of an applicant’s background in order to predict how well the individual will perform in your workplace. Criminal background checks, drug screening, verifications, and personal searches are all important components of a comprehensive background screening program. Each component offers unique insight which can be used to make better hiring decisions.
Personal background searches specifically relate to screening of an individual’s behavior and activities outside what you might find in a criminal check or drug screening. Civil court records, credit reports, DMV driving records, media searches, and social security number locators can offer insightful information about the character, reputation, trustworthiness, and personal responsibility of a potential employee.
Create a background screening program that is useful and compliant.
In an age of ever-increasing personal privacy rights and concerns, personal searches (like other types of background screening) require strict adherence to rules and regulations around the collection, interpretation, and use of screening information. As a Consumer Reporting Agency and experienced background screening company, Proforma helps hiring companies navigate this environment to build screening programs that are both useful and compliant.
