Civil Background Checks (Federal & County)
Civil searches are conducted at the local county level and will help an employer identify if the applicant has any lawsuits brought against them by their former employer or any other person or entity. Civil records can assist in hiring decisions during pre-employment screening. An employee’s civil records can reveal whether they were involved with wrongful termination lawsuits, harassment, contract violations, or violations of federal regulations.

SSN Validation
Some companies require you to submit your social security number (SSN) when performing a background check. A social security number can be used for a number of reasons, but in the case of an SSN Validity Check, it’s to ensure the validity of the social security number of the applicant. A Social Security Number (SSN) Validity Check is the process of detecting fraudulent social security numbers and will flag those that are not issued by the Social Security Administration. The Social Security number trace may verify the state in which the SSN was issued, the year the SSN was issued, and whether the SSN is on the death index.
Employment Verification
Employers request employment verifications to not only verify personal employment history but to ensure that the applicant has the skills and qualifications needed to perform the job. This is typically done with a pre-employment check and can search back to seven years.
