| Components
of a Pre-employment Screen Conducted by AccuSearch
of Arizona |
1
Verify Social Security Number |
The first step in an AccuSearch background check
is to verify the Social Security Number of the applicant.
This will either confirm the applicant’s true
identity or reveal an anomaly requiring further
investigation. When we verify a Social Security
Number we also validate the applicant’s reported
birth date and prior addresses. We compare prior
addresses from our report with information provided
by the applicant to judge veracity and to help determine
where to search for possible criminal activity. |

Reference Check |
Reference checks can prove helpful in making the
final hiring decision. AccuSearch Professional Reference
Checks can help employers evaluate an applicant’s
job, communication and interpersonal skills. |
| Turnaround time: 24 to 72 hours |
| 3
Education Verification & Professional License
Verification |
Sometimes job candidates will misrepresent their
qualifications in order to gain advantage in the
interview process. An AccuSearch Education Verification
Check will indicate dates of attendance and graduation,
and degrees and honors bestowed. An AccuSearch Professional
License Verification will attempt to confirm the
existence of, and specifics concerning any professional
license(s) claimed by the applicant. |
| Turnaround time: 24 to 72 hours |
| 4
Driving Record Check |
An AccuSearch Driving Record Check can reveal an
applicant’s history of unsafe or irresponsible
behavior behind the wheel. It will detail an applicant’s
driving history, driver’s license numbers,
address, and date of birth. Driving Record Checks
are recommended for employees whose job duties include
driving, and especially for employees who drive
company vehicles. |
| Turnaround time: 24 to 48 hours |
| 5
Employment Credit Check |
Employment credit reports can shed light on an individual’s
financial stability and may be an indicator of a
person's integrity and his or her ability to manage
money. An AccuSearch Employment Credit Check is
recommended for all applicants seeking positions
in Accounting or Finance, or whose responsibilities
might include the handling of cash or valuable merchandise. |
| Turnaround time: Same day |
| 7
Search for Criminal Law Violations |
At the heart of any background screen is a check
of criminal court records. Criminal cases are tried
in either a local county courthouse or a federal
courthouse. A comprehensive employment screen will
involve searches at both levels. Click

searches. |
| Turnaround time: 24 to 72 hours |

Civil Records Search |
A search of federal and county civil court records
will help identify an applicant with a history of
suing others or being sued himself. An AccuSearch
Civil Records Search will uncover any civil lawsuits
filed by or against a person or entity, including
matters relating to the violation of trade secret
or non-compete agreements. |
| Turnaround time: 48 to 72 hours |
