The best background check services can provide a valuable insight into someone’s past activities. While no one can predict the future and ones past does not necessarily indicate a repeat performance, it can shelter you from any potential legal implications, bad hire costs associated with training and on boarding or even worse, potential disastrous public relations.
The best background check services can also provide your employees a sense of comfort and safety in knowing their colleagues have all been cleared based on the background checks required by your company. It can also push that one valuable highly sort after candidate to your firm knowing that the care for employee’s well being and safety is a priority.
What is important about background checks to note is compliance with the law, Consistency by role or position, applicant privacy and data protection and the type of background checks available to you.
A background check policy must be consistent across all positions in any given company. The background check policy does not necessarily need to cover all employees the same, but it must cover all employee within a specific job title the same. A policy for an individual in a fiduciary position may include a credit report but all employees in a fiduciary role must also have their credit reports checked. You cannot check a person’s credit report in a subjective manner. Similarly, all positions within a certain job title or position must have the same search types performed. A good policy may protect you from any sort of discrimination issues.
- 合规性：许多州规范背景调查的法律各不相同。所有州都采用 FCRA（《联邦公平信用报告法》），但许多州和城市的法律限制性更强。背景调查公司应提供一份文件，概述联邦法律允许的消费者报告目的。该文件可参见《联邦信用报告法》第 604 条。如前所述，州法律可以而且在许多情况下限制性更强。这些限制可能包括但不限于案件年龄、申请人的工资、案件是否待决以及案件是否被归类为已驳回、已撤销、已封存或列为青少年案件。
- 背景调查类型： 在Accurate Information Systems，我们建议根据工作岗位进行背景调查。例如，办公室职位通常不需要机动车辆检查。劳工职位不需要信用报告。但在任何情况下，我们都建议至少在州一级（如有）或县一级对披露和开发的所有地址进行犯罪背景调查。社会保险 “追踪 “报告将确定申请人居住的所有已知地址，我们称之为 “刑事综合 “数据库检查。刑事综合检查是背景调查的重要辅助工具，但绝不能单独使用，而且我们不允许最终用户查看原始数据。我们这样做是为了保护我们和您的利益，因为根据 FCRA 的规定，在该报告中发现的任何数据都不具有可操作性。许多公司称这是 “全国性 “背景调查，但它远非全国性的，因为没有 “全国性 “的公开犯罪背景调查！我们和其他一些人已经撰写了与这种调查有关的文章，我们非常乐意应您的要求将这些文章寄给您。这些背景调查建议只是最低限度的，通常随着职位的增加，还会增加不同的方面，如就业和教育验证、MVR 检查、医疗保健相关的医疗保险检查、药物测试等。
- 申请人隐私和数据保护： 一些公司已经开始将数据中心和数据呼叫中心离岸外包。这无非是为了降低成本，提高利润率。这一过程将您的申请人数据交到了国外的中心手中，”谁知道 “谁就能访问这些数据。在大多数情况下，您所需要的任何客户服务都将由不了解您、您的账户以及在许多情况下您所要求的搜索类型及其含义的海外人员来回答。厌倦了客户服务 “售票系统 “或 “我们将在 24-48 小时内回复您 “的答复”，在 Accurate Information Systems，我们不会将您的数据离岸，也不会转售您的数据，我们的所有数据都在美国的数据中心得到保护。此外，在提供最好的背景调查服务时，保护个人的出生日期和社会安全号码应该是最重要的。在 AIS，您的人力资源部门可以绕过这一要求，让申请人在自己的在线用户环境中安全地输入这些个人身份信息。所有最终报告中的这些数字都会被删节。在决定聘用后，申请人可以提供这些信息。
- 好了，我们做了背景调查，现在怎么办？ 简而言之，这取决于背景调查是否发现任何不利信息？背景调查是否在所调查的辖区内排除了申请人的嫌疑？您的背景调查公司在进行背景调查时是否遵守了第 613(a)(1)条或第 613(a)(2)条？.
