Mortgage Broker Employment Background  Checks

Employment Background Checks For The Home Loan And Mortgage Industry

Mortgage companies, banks and other lending institutions all have the same risks from undesirable employees.

Losses arising out of employee or manager theft, embezzlement, credit card fraud, harassment, workplace violence and other crimes can bring costly and even disastrous financial consequences to a firm, it’s employees and it’s reputation.

Financial businesses know the cost of a “Bad Hire” is incalculable….

FBI statistics reveal that the overwhelming majority of all thefts from financial businesses are connected by some aspect of employee involvement.

These facts alone dramatically illustrate the need for a thorough and comprehensive pre-employment background screening program that includes a quality nationwide state and Federal criminal record background check for all applicants.

Clearly, a quality employment background check screening program is an employer’s first line of defense in avoiding losses altogether.
And, sometimes it provides the best and perhaps only defense in a negligent hiring claim.

Our criminal record  “Smart Search Plus®”  includes all searches included in the criminal record smart search, but also includes an unlimited check of Federal criminal records. It is increasingly important to check these added Federal records as they now make up as much as 10 percent of all criminal records. And, those charged in the Federal criminal system have been charged with some of the most serious crimes.

Our criminal record  “Smart Search®”  is an excellent and comprehensive criminal record background check that provides a thorough background screening criminal records search of state and county criminal record repositories, but does not include a check of the Federal criminal records in each state as included in our criminal record  “Smart Search Plus®” .
