  • Why must I have the applicant's permission to do background searches?
  • What is the FCRA? Why are there all these forms for the applicant?
  • What does the Fair Credit Reporting Act have to do with a criminal search?
  • If I do not intend to hire an applicant, do I have an obligation to that individual?
  • Are statewide searches sufficient as a criminal history search?
  • Immediate turn-around time is offered by a lot of online background companies using databases. Can you offer that service as well?
  • Are Felony and Misdemeanor records always together?

  • Can you verify social security numbers?
  • How do I know which searches I should request?
  • What do I do if an applicant says the report is not accurate or not them at all?
  • I've been told that I should not ask an applicant for date of birth, yet it is required to do most searches. Why the contradiction?

  • Why do I need a search firm? Isn't most of this information free online?
