Criminal Background Checks for Employment

Make informed hiring decisions that protect your business, employees, and customers.

What is a Criminal
Background Check?

A criminal background check is one of the most critical parts of comprehensive background screening, providing essential information regarding a candidate’s criminal history. It collects background data based on searches of national, federal, state, and local databases, including felony and misdemeanor criminal convictions. The result is a detailed employee background check from trusted sources, providing reliable information to make confident decisions that protect your company, customers, and employees. And deliver you peace of mind.
