Employee Background Screening with Sure Screen
When your hiring process calls for employee background screening, it’s your responsibility to ensure each individual has been covered, including those being hired away from company headquarters. One missed background screening can negatively impact the safety of your workforce, the security of your customers, and the reputation of your company– just to name a few.
With Sure Screen you can rest assured that no employee goes unchecked.
Description of Service
Sure Screen offers you peace of mind and security knowing that your entire workforce has been screened according to policy. We do this by auditing your payroll record data on a pre-determined schedule and matching that data against our list of completed background checks.
Use Sure Screen as a double-check audit to ensure your hiring managers, both in the field and at headquarters, are implementing the background screening program according to company policy. For large decentralized organizations, Sure Screen is especially important in maintaining checks and balances over the screening process.
Employment Background Checks using Risk Match
Failing to manage your employee hiring risks can result in an unsafe workforce, risk to your brand, legal troubles, and many other not-so-pleasant issues. Employee risk management involves:
- Understanding the overall risk tolerance of your organization.
- Understanding the risk profile of the role you’re seeking to fill.
- Establishing clear criteria for rejecting applicants on the basis of the applicant’s background.
- Applying your criteria consistently and equitably across your applicant population.
An employee risk assessment and Risk Match can help get your rejection criteria in order so you know which applicants to let through and which to hold back based on their background screening results. It allows customization of decision making criteria in order to speed the review process and reduce inconsistencies.
With clearly defined rejection criteria, you are able to apply those criteria equitably and consistently across your applicant population to both manage your risk and enhance your legal compliance.
Taking steps upfront to establish sound rejection criteria will pay dividends in the form of a safer and more productive workforce, greater productivity, and increased profits.
Description of Service
Risk Match pairs relevant risk with appropriate rejection criteria to create a consistent and equitable process to use background screening results in the hiring process. We perform an employee risk assessment by looking at a number of factors including:
- The level of supervision associated with the position
- The access to people and/or property associated with the position
- The brand damage that could result from a catastrophic event involving the employee
- The role of human capital in your organization
We then use your hiring criteria to score criminal, MVR, education, and other screening criteria to deliver a red (do not hire), yellow (needs further review), or green (hire) determination. Background reports can then be routed to the appropriate manager or supervisor for a hiring determination.
Employment Background Check Policy Development
The first step in any well-developed employment background check strategy is policy development. Your policy is the plan of action that influences and determines the decisions you make and actions you take related to your employment background screening program.
Our employment background check policy development service helps ensure your compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but it also enables the members of your organization to be “on the same page” when it comes to the important role of background screening. Furthermore, sound policy improves your ability to gain the competitive advantages that result from having a safer, more qualified workforce while experiencing less loss and liability.
Description of Service
We offer assistance in drafting employment background screening policies to help you remain compliant with federal and state regulations for regulated and non-regulated drug testing and/or background screening. While we are not a law firm, we have been around the compliance environment long enough to know the difference between sound policy and one that invites trouble. While addressing compliance, we also help you create a background check and screening policy that is in line with your business goals, risk tolerance, and the types of employees you plan to hire. Additionally, we recommend appropriate methodology and standards for handling background check results.
FCRA Compliance Fulfillment
Background checks serve as filters to bring your best candidates further into the selection process. Beyond this benefit, however, organizations have a legal duty of care to screen those employees who have access to people and property under the organization’s control and direction. The risks of negligent hiring or retention of employees requires your due diligence in the screening process. Yet when time, resources, or experience of your team are in short supply and you can’t afford the risks of non-compliance, allowing an outside vendor to fulfill your FCRA background check requirements will ensure your bases are covered.
Description of Services
Our Fair Credit Reporting Act compliance fulfillment services specifically address the FCRA requirements surrounding pre-adverse and adverse action letters, placing the burden of creating and sending these letters into our hands. We distribute both pre-adverse and adverse action letters to your applicant when the report may or does result in a no-hire decision.
