National Criminal Background Checks

Here at Information Resources, we conduct national criminal background checks for employers at businesses of all kinds. We live in a mobile society. It's a modern fact of life that people move around quite frequently. We know it's not uncommon for a potential employee to have lived and worked in several states or countries.

Currently, there is no national database for criminal records. As such, many other background check companies rely on statewide databases for their information. However, these databases are not always accurate or complete. Most statewide records systems only include information from the Department of Corrections for that state. This means that companies using those systems will often only find information on a person if that person spent time in jail. Other pertinent arrests and convictions will be left undiscovered.

Use Information Resources for National Criminal Background Checks

Of course, you want the most thorough, comprehensive information for your company. Even if you think it doesn't matter whether a potential employee has ever been convicted of a crime, it does. If one of your employees commits a crime while on the job (in some cases, even off the job), your company can be held liable. A thorough national background check can help you avoid placing your company in this position.

We conduct our criminal background checks at the county courthouses in the places where your applicants have lived, worked and gone to school. This enables us to find the information the state databases miss. Contact us today to start using our services. We can be reached at 1-800-548-0822 or through our online form.
