Know Who You Hire
EMPLOYMENT SCREENING SERVICES
Safety is the primary concern that drives employers to conduct background checks. Businesses today are faced with increased regulation and liability in their hiring practices which mandates a need for an ever-increasing and well-documented due diligence by all employers. Our focus is to make sure you receive reports that are in compliance at the state and federal levels. Research Services makes it simple for you to gain access to the information you need to make an informed decision while remaining in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Employment Screening:
Employers can be liable for an employee’s conduct, both on and off the job. Accessing key information is important for every employer. Job applications, interviews, references, even personality tests can’t provide necessary information from prospective employees. Our mission is to help you provide a safe work environment.
Student Screening:
Students often go outside of their college network for programs and internships. In certain instances the student will be in direct contact with the elderly and children. This contact requires that the students be vetted prior to their arrival on-site. Our professional researchers quickly provide information so schools can make informed decisions about prospective relationships.
