IDENTITY VERIFICATION

The SSN holds all the applicant’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for the background check report. This search is used to verify an individual’s identity, uncover their residential and employment history, and identify any potential discrepancies or issues that may need to be addressed. It helps employers, landlords, financial institutions, and other entities make informed decisions while mitigating risks associated with identity fraud, false identities, or undisclosed information. Aliases, associated names, or variations of the individual’s names linked to the Social Security Number are also identified with this SSN trace.

National Criminal Search

National criminal history checks are run separate from local, state, and federal levels to capture criminal activity that occurred outside of their respective jurisdiction, identify interstate criminal activity if a criminal relocated to another state, execute due diligence, and ensure legal compliance for industries and professions that require the national search.

National Sex Offender Search:

The National Sex Offender Registry (NSOR) is a database search with aggregated data from millions of records with sources ranging from county courts, state departments, record repositories and sex offender registry. It is an essential step in promoting safety, compliance, and trust within organizations and communities that serve vulnerable populations, helping to create environments that are safe, secure, and free from the risk of sexual misconduct or abuse.

County Criminal Search

Our agents collect information directly from courts using a variety of search methodologies and our extensive network of court researchers. We conduct criminal history searches within counties where the applicant has resided or may have a criminal record based on prior database searches. Information gathered at the county level is verified with the court of record, typically the Clerk of the County Court, with assistance from the applicant's address history collection.

Federal Criminal Search

Often confused with a national criminal search, a federal criminal history background check is an examination of an individual's criminal record at the federal level for offenses, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes of corporate or financial misconduct, terrorism, cybercrimes, immigration offenses, public corruption, and organized crime. Federal crimes are typically conducted by federal law enforcement agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

Presearch: Jail
Sentencing

  • Local Criminal Employment - a presearch of arrest data used as database pointer data on the report to be adjudicated further per FCRA reporting standards
  • Local Criminal Volunteer - a presearch of arrest data provided to the client for review that does not fall under FCRA reporting standard
  • This complementary feature is included in all packages.

Indiana Participating Courts Search (IPC)

This search will query potential records throughout the entire state of Indiana, within every county. Indiana counties have digital reporting back at least 15 years as a minimum

INDUSTRY SPECIFIC SERVICES

DRIVING
RECORDS

Conducting a driving record investigation allows employers to make informed decisions about hiring or retaining employees who will be operating vehicles as part of their job duties, helping to ensure safety, reduce liability, and comply with regulatory requirements.

EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATIONS

Verifying employment is a critical step in the hiring process that helps employers ensure the accuracy of job applicant information, assess qualifications effectively, mitigate risks, comply with legal requirements, and make informed hiring decisions.

Utilizing The Work Number, it is a streamlined and automated process for confirming an individual’s employment status and income information.

EDUCATION VERIFICATIONS

This is a secure and streamlined process which is automated and centralized by the National Student Clearinghouse to verify academic credentials, such as degrees, certificates, and transcripts for participating colleges and universities.

The service complies with relevant privacy laws and regulations, such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), to ensure the confidentiality and security of student records and personally identifiable information.

CREDIT CHECKS

Credit history for employment screening typically includes information about an individual’s financial behaviors and obligations, as reported by credit bureaus. This information may be used by employers to assess an individual’s financial responsibility, integrity, and reliability, particularly for positions that involve handling money, sensitive financial information, or fiduciary duties.

Using credit history for employment screening purposes is subject to legal regulations, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) in the United States. Employers must obtain consent from job applicants before conducting a credit check, provide certain disclosures and protections regarding the use of credit information in employment decisions, and adhere to specific requirements for adverse action notifications if employment decisions are based on credit history. Additionally, employers should ensure that credit checks are relevant to the requirements of the job and conducted consistently and fairly for all applicants.

AUTOMATED REFERENCE CHECKS

With RefLynk, automated reference checks are fast, easy, and candidate driven for obtaining employment, volunteer, and tenant candidate feedback. Ongoing notifications are alerted from start to finish.

DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SERVICES INDEX CHECKS

The Department of Child Services index checks are typically conducted as part of background screenings for individuals applying for positions that involve working with children, such as childcare providers, teachers, social workers, foster parents, and others who may have direct or indirect contact with minors. The purpose of these checks is to help ensure the safety and well-being of children by identifying individuals who may pose a risk of harm or who have a history of involvement with child welfare agencies.

Arrest Alert

ArrestAlert is a real-time monitoring service that can provide real notifications if one of your employees, volunteers, or vendors is arrested. ArrestAlert has an integration with more than 93% of the jails in the U.S.

How does Arrest
Alert work?

First, it is a non-FCRA service. What does that mean? It means that Arrest Alert should be no different than if you are notified by telephone, newspaper, or an employee that they are arrested. No adverse action should be taken on this alert.

This is simply a real-time alert that allows you to initiate your internal policies and investigation.

What is the benefit of Arrest Alert?

Arrest Alert closes the gap between someone being arrested for a prohibitive offense and you being notified, especially if it happens away from where they live or work.

Arrest Alert offers a preliminary search feature that serves as an initial screening tool. This helps identify arrests beyond the applicants’ residential and employment areas spanning the last decade. Subsequently, Sheath Corp conducts further research with the courts to ascertain the adjudication status of these arrests.

HEALTHCARE SANCTION BACKGROUND CHECKS

A healthcare sanction background check is a comprehensive screening process conducted by healthcare organizations, government agencies, or third-party vendors to verify whether an individual has been subject to sanctions or disciplinary actions by regulatory bodies, such as state licensing boards, Medicare, Medicaid, or other healthcare oversight agencies.
This type of background check is typically performed on healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and other allied healthcare workers, as well as healthcare entities, such as hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities.
These checks help healthcare organizations maintain regulatory compliance, protect patient safety, and mitigate risks associated with hiring or contracting with individuals or entities that have a history of misconduct or unethical behavior in the healthcare field. They are an essential component of the credentialing and privileging process for healthcare professionals and entities seeking to participate in healthcare programs or provide services to patients.

DRUG & HEALTH SCREENING

Pre-and-post employment drug and health screening for employees is essential for promoting workplace safety, regulatory compliance, asset protection, liability reduction, employee health, and productivity. It helps organizations create a positive and secure work environment conducive to success and growth.

INTERNATIONAL SEARCHES

International background checks aim to provide a comprehensive assessment of an individual’s background, qualifications, and potential risks by accessing information from multiple sources and jurisdictions worldwide.
