To complement or extend the scope of standard criminal background checks, National Crime Search offers a range of additional verification and screening services. We place special emphasis on adapting to the needs of our clients based on their specific hiring goals, recognizing the proven efficacy of screenings like education and employment history verification to mitigate fraud and hiring liability issues while improving employee retention and productivity.
Let’s explore the different verification and screening options available to employers and how these can enhance hiring practices by providing a thorough profile of any job candidate.
Education, Employment, and Professional License Verification
Many of our clients utilize domestic or international employment history verification, education history verification, and professional license verification to ensure that their candidates are fully qualified to become a productive member of the workforce, and have honestly represented themselves in the application process. Handling these processes manually can become burdensome for employers, since it often requires interviewing, frequent phone calls, coordination with registrars, and records retrieval with a range of institutions. With NCS, this process is simplified and expedited to let you focus on other HR and hiring tasks while we generate a distilled verification report that’s emailed directly to you with all the information you need.
Industry-Specific and Security-Based Screenings
Beyond the verifications we just discussed, additional record searches like motor vehicle driving record searches, civil court checks, and credit reports can provide even more specialized information that supports the hiring process, especially in certain industries or for specific positions.
Similarly, domestic and global watch list searches can mitigate security risks for sensitive high-level positions, providing much-needed peace of mind about hiring decisions for positions with more significant implications for your organization. Many employers choose to utilize additional verifications and services that extend beyond a standard criminal background check as part of their overall screening process, or on an as-needed basis. For instance, although a candidate may be clear of any criminal convictions in the United States, without an international criminal records search, an employer could lose confidence in their hiring decision or risk liability in the event that they hire a candidate with an undetected criminal history.
Drug Screening Services
In today's competitive work environment, ensuring that your employees are drug-free has never been more important. The adverse effects of drug abuse can range from reduced efficiency and productivity to increased absenteeism, workplace incidents, and liability issues. Employers may also face legal consequences if they fail to implement appropriate drug screening practices. With the comprehensive drug screening services provided by National Crime Search (NCS), employers can be confident that they are maintaining a drug-free work environment.
NCS's state-of-the-art methods ensure that businesses can confidently make informed decisions about their employees and potential hires. Our services range from lab-based urine tests to instant onsite urine tests and oral fluid tests. With our user-friendly processes and swift turnaround times, we provide peace of mind to employers and contribute to safer, more productive work environments.
E-Verify and Form I-9 Employment Verification
The global landscape of work is becoming more connected, and it's crucial for employers to verify the employment eligibility of their workforce, both to comply with federal and state laws and to maintain a reputable business operation. With the E-Verify from National Crime Search, the employment verification process has been made simpler, more efficient, and more reliable.
In collaboration with Form I-9 management, E-Verify allows employers to cross-check an employee's information against millions of government records, ensuring they are authorized to work in the U.S. Whether you are hiring domestically or from abroad, these tools are indispensable in confirming an applicant's employment eligibility. 
Comprehensive Background Screening with National Crime Search
For many of our clients, our featured packages offer an excellent foundation for completing robust background screening processes – with built-in SSN number traces, national sex offender registry searches, multi-state criminal database searches, and much more. Even so, each organization should analyze its own specific needs based on industry, jurisdiction, and company policies to determine when and how additional verifications and services can enhance the hiring process further, helping to bypass employee retention or liability issues and improve the quality of its workforce.
Are you ready to hire confidently with a comprehensive understanding of each candidate?
