A background check is one of the most crucial pre-employment screening steps that are necessary for small businesses and companies before making a decision to hire. As a small business owner, running a background check on any potential employee should be taken seriously. This is because it helps protect your establishment from numerous potential risks which could cost you a fortune and productivity in the days ahead.
While resumes might look decorated and appealing, small business owners shouldn’t just assume that their potential employees are telling the truth. If you want to get the right person for the job, going that extra mile is necessary as it could help unearth any information likely to be concealed during resume writing.
The Quality of a County Criminal Search
County Criminal Searches are the most accurate and comprehensive searches you can run because courthouses keep detailed information on file for each case number and most will update their records daily. A standard county search includes both district and superior court searches, pulling information on all felony and misdemeanor charges in that county. Just doing a county search would be as invaluable as just running a national search. You would need to know exactly where to look for it to be beneficial. There is no database that houses every single court’s records. Running both searches is really the only way to cover all your bases.
How SimpliVerified is Balancing the Background Check Process with Criminal Record Expungement
We believe in the good in people and want to give everyone the opportunity to right their wrongs, especially after they’ve paid their debt to society. It can be hard to get a good job and turn your life around when you have a criminal record, but there is hope. Criminal record expungement means the record is sealed or destroyed and no longer available to be accessed. An expunged crime will not show up on a background check and employers are not allowed to ask about it or use it against you in an employment decision. Typically, after we view a background check and generally determine expungement qualification, we will send a secure eligibility test email to the applicant. This form will help them, and the attorney determine if they qualify in the state the crime was committed.
