EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND CHECKS
Colleges, Universities, Trade and other schools face significant liability for the acts of anyone associated with the College, University or School.
It has been well established through the court system that educational entities have a responsibility to conduct an employment screening background check on all College and University Instructors, Teachers, Officers, employees, volunteers and anyone else that acts on behalf of or for the educational institution in any way.
The risk is simply too high not to exercise the due diligence of a quality employment screening program.
The negative consequences of a single act by an individual can bring great trauma to the victims of sexual misconduct or assault but also serious harm to the greater University or College.
The financial impact alone can be huge but many other factors should also be considered such as the stress of litigation and the negative impact of bad publicity on the institution’s leaders, faculty and the student body well.
Remember, the College’s best defense and sometimes its only defense is having done a proper employment screening background check.
Our criminal records Smart Search Plus® has become the industry standard for a quality criminal records background check.

Staying within the Law on employee background checks
There are numerous regulations about what information you are allowed to access, under what circumstances you are allowed to access that information, and which information can legally be used in a hiring decision.
All of our reports are FCRA compliant.
As with any other employer:
You must: Get the appropriate permission from the person concerned,
You must: Properly notify a person of a negative decision based on information discovered.
You must: Protect the confidentiality of the information.
You may not: Make a decision on data that was excluded by law for the type of position for which the person was being considered.
The institution also must comply with data security and record retention requirements and needs to fully comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) as well as any other state laws which have jurisdiction not only over credit information, but other types of personal data as well.
