Pre-Employment Criminal Background Checks. 

Our Pre-Employment background checks are customized for each client.  These checks start with Identity development, which we use to determine and validate residency history for the subject. That information aids our investigation and allows us to target our research. We use a national criminal database search, sex offender registry, terrorist, and other watch lists, in conjunction with the all important County Criminal Records search.  With these core components, we add any additional searches based on the specific needs of each of our clients. These can include federal and state criminal searches and sanctions lists, among others. All of our reports are reviewed by a licensed investigator.

Driving Records

We provide you with MVRs for both your DOT and Non-DOT needs. Most reports are returned instantly. Driving records, when used in compliance with the federal FCRA regulations and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), help employers avoid unnecessary risk associated with vehicular accidents involving their employees whose job function depends on driving for the company.

Drug Testing

We have access to both Quest's and LabCorp’s nationwide networks of labs and collections sites in addition to an extensive network of independent labs and collection facilities. We also have mobile collection capabilities. We can assist you with both DOT and Non-DOT testing, can help you manage random testing programs,  pre-employment drug testing & any post-accident and reasonable suspicion testing. With our advanced technology platform, say "goodbye" to the old chain-of-custody forms. The entire process is handled in a secure online platform that is mobile-device friendly.
