Search Packages | Background Screens

GSI-imageOur search packages are custom-designed to meet the specific needs of different businesses and industry segments. These examples give you a head-start on designing a background check package that meets your particular needs.

 

We start with a search package that targets your industry and add and subtract search elements at your request. Clients often use an existing package without any alterations!

 

Below is a list of typical packages, grouped by industry and their sub-segments. We take these search packages and fully customize them to meet your screening needs.

Transportation

In the transportation industry, safety and security remain particularly important, since the lives of travellers depend on the reliability and competence of those who operate and maintain our highways, rail, seaways, airways and oil and natural gas pipelines. For this reason, the federal government closely regulates the standards of workplace safety for this industry.

 

If your company conducts business within the transportation industry, you pay attention to reliable operation and with adhering to the regulations set forth by the Department of Transportation and other federal and state regulatory agencies. Our diligent investigators constantly monitor new legislation and regulations to ensure that our clients are employing the appropriate screening technology and databases to maintain compliance.

 

As important as avoiding fines and restrictions from regulatory violations is avoiding potential litigation, fraud, theft, and workplace violence. A transportation screening solution shows that you exercise due diligence and caution, which helps to insulate your company from potential liability risks.

  • Social Security Number Validation

Retail

The retail industry proves especially vulnerable to the hazards of poorly vetted employees. High turnover means potential danger can always enter your workplace. Employees have access to cash, inventory, and customer financial information, and often hold responsiblity for the safety of customers and the security of retail or warehouse locations. The temptation for fraud and theft is high — careful screening helps avoid shrinkage and insure workplace security and safety.

 

Our customizable retail industry packages thoroughly search databases for information that reveals potential dangers in an applicant’s past. Packages may include the following:

  • Credit Report
  • Social Security Number Validation
  • Social Security Number Trace
  • Previous Employment Verification
  • Education Verification
  • National Criminal Search

Landlord/Tenant

The economic challenges facing our nation created particular problems for landlords and residential property managers. Tenants who lost jobs and income found themselves unable to meet their contractual agreements; turnover in rental units skyrocketed and those who lost homes through mortgage problems now seek new places to live.

 

Experience shows that previous rental experience provides an accurate predictor of future rental behavior. But simply being presented with raw search data, like eviction records, previous landlord inquiries and court actions, proves complicated to interpret for untrained individuals.

 

Our detail-oriented investigators take the raw data and analyze it using sophisticated search logic, resulting in a thorough and easy-to-read report that helps landlords make decisions about potential tenants. Since many tenant decisions happen quickly, clients have access to instant eviction record searches that access records either locally (in a single state) or across the nation.

 

Our customizable landlord/tenant package may include the following:

  • Credit History
  • Criminal History
  • Residence History
  • Instant Eviction Searches

Healthcare

In no other industry besides healthcare do we place our trust, even our lives, in someone else’s hands. The most intimate details of our personal and financial lives reside with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare employees. The potential for negligence, abuse, criminal action and financial wrongdoing is high, making a reliable system for ensuring the reliability of new hires all the more necessary.

 

In addition, patient rights legislation impose stringent controls on patient privacy and data security, adding compliance to an employer’s responsibilities. We design our healthcare packages to give you peace of mind about the employees who access your data systems, buildings and secure areas, drug storage, expensive equipment and vulnerable patients.

 

Our customizable Healthcare searches include checks for:

  • Employment History
  • Education Verification
  • Criminal Records
  • Sex Offender Search
  • Nationwide Background Search

Financial Services

Few employers prove more vulnerable to the criminal actions of bad hires than those in the financial industry. Access to huge amounts of cash, credit information and financial databases tempts many an individual. The misuse and appropriation of investor and customer funds in recent years led to increasingly strict regulation of the industry, so compliance is an issue front and center in every employer’s mind.

 

The financial services packages focus on security and fiscal responsibility in an applicant’s past. They also emphasize compliance with the Patriot Act, FFIEC and FDIC requirements, and other regulations.

Across the nation, millions of parents entrust the safety and well being of their children to educational institutions almost every day. Even through college, students remain impressionable and vulnerable, making it imperative that every school maintain a secure environment for faculty, staff, and students.

Non-Profit

Because most non-profit organizations and corporations operate under a standard of service and trust, administrators of non-profits often neglect protecting themselves from dishonest or fraudulent applicants. This very trusting nature can make non-profits vulnerable to exploitation by deceptive individuals.

 

Employee crimes against non-profit organizations not only damage the organization itself, but the individuals and agencies they serve as well. Because of this ripple effect, screening potential employees and volunteers proves necessary. One disastrous incident endangers an organization’s reputation for trustworthiness. Our non-profit packages help protect your organization and your reputation.

 

 Our customizable non-profit searches include:

  • Social Security Number Validation
  • Social Security Number Trace
  • Previous Employment Verification
  • Education Verification

  • Volunteer Check
  • National Criminal Search
  • Statewide Criminal Search
  • County Court Criminal Records Search

Gaming

The gaming industry attracts many customers in the United States. 19 states other than Las Vegas have casinos and card clubs and 28 states have Native American gaming enterprises on Indian reservations or tribal land.

 

In any environment where such huge amounts of cash change hands, the temptation for criminal activity is enormous. Casinos need to weed out applicants with criminal histories and identify those who exhibit risky behavior or carry relevant financial difficulties. Our gaming packages maintain standards that protect against potential fraud and theft.

Our customized gaming searches may include:

  • Social Security Number Validation
  • Social Security Number Trace
  • Credit Report
