Background Check Company

Build Teams You Can Trust

Information Directly From the Source

One of the biggest myths when it comes to employment screening is the existence of an accurate and compliant national database for criminal histories. That’s why, as a leading background check company, Validity Screening Solutions provides record searches from official court record repositories. Organizations should expect the highest quality data when performing checks on potential candidates, and Validity guides their Clients with complete, accurate information delivered in a timely manner.

Working With Validity

When Clients partner with Validity, they get the benefit of working with an experienced team that can provide solutions customized to the unique needs of their organization.

With criminal record searches, Clients get access to electronic court and criminal record data provided by an extensive network of skilled researchers. With this record data, organizations will get a complete and accurate view of their candidates and, as a result, use the information to make better hiring decisions.

Our Comprehensive Background Check Process

Step 1

The organization will request for screening services on a candidate.

Step 2

A record search is performed in each identified jurisdiction of residence for the requested scope; either 7 years or 10 years. If desired, previous names used by the candidate are also submitted for research.

Step 3

A trained and certified Validity Research Specialist sends matching criminal and civil records to Validity's Quality Assurance team for review.

Step 4

Quality Assurance thoroughly reviews results to confirm the identity and completeness of the record. Audits are conducted for each record to ensure FCRA compliance and applicable state law compliance resulting in an “actionable” report.

Step 5

Confirmed records, or “hits”, are denoted with a red flag for easy identification on our clear and concise reports. Results from each search are compiled into a single, compliant report for End-User review.
