10 Tips For A Better Criminal Background Check - continued...

  1. Obtaining Birth Dates Without Violating The Law. As a potential employer, you can't ask a candidate's date of birth - but you need a date of birth to run a Criminal History Search. One option is to extend the job offer before the criminal background check is ordered, with the offer being contingent on the results of the report. A second option is to have the applicant complete the release form, including date of birth, and seal it in an envelope when the application is submitted. Use it only if you run a criminal background check or employee background check.

  2. Get Names of Supervisor and Co-Workers. Human Resource departments will frequently give out only the most basic of information - start and termination dates, title, etc. If you can get the name of a Supervisor or a few co-workers, they are frequently less restrictive in the information they divulge for pre employment screening.

  3. Run A Statewide Criminal Search. We don't recommend Statewide Criminal Searches as a sole source of information during a criminal background check, but they are a good way to augment your County Criminal Record Search. If it's available, it's a relatively inexpensive way to cover a broad area.

  4. Integrate With Your Applicant Tracking System. If you use an Applicant Tracking System, EasyBackgrounds can be easily integrated so that it will pull all the necessary data to run a criminal background check. No double data entry.

  5. Get With The Times. The Web is how business gets done … quickly. If you're not using a Web-based crminal background check provider, you're probably waiting longer and spending more for your pre employment screening reports. Give EasyBackgrounds a try.
