Why Should I Pre-Screen?

• You want to reduce the risk of hiring individuals with a history of theft, violence, drugs, sexual harassment, and other problems associated with today's workplace. Knowledge is power. Whether you react to the information or not, you are able to make informed decisions that will protect you from the liabilities of Negligent Hiring and Retention.
• Because your competitors are.

What information can I get?

• Criminal History
• Credit Reports
• Social Security Number Verification
• Driving History
• Previous Addresses
• Previous Employer Verification etc.

How long does it take?
Usually results are returned within one to two business days. Because E.I.S. specializes in hard to reach Northern California counties, some results may take longer.

In most cases, E.I.S. is the only investigative firm that can reach these areas and access these records. Because of this, some results may take longer. No matter what, your results are accurate and you will have the knowledge to make an informed decision.

What are my obligations under the law?
As of Oct. 1st, 1997 the FCRA requires that all employers who request background information for pre-employment purposes have a written consent before they begin. If they make any adverse decision because of the report obtained, the applicant has the right to see the information and contest it if it is wrong. We provide you with forms and releases that will assist you in the process. More information on the FCRA laws can be found at the www.ftc.gov website.

What is a Criminal History Check?
Unless you request otherwise, a Criminal history search is a 7 year search of court records that uncovers misdemeanor and felony convictions. These are reported to you in a written report that includes (in most cases) Case#, Charge, Sentence, Date of Offense, Date of disposition, and other info when possible.

Is it always felony and misdemeanor searches?
Yes, 99% of the time. In some counties felony only is allowed. We have available an exception report that lists the counties or jurisdictions that are felony only.

How do you do that?
We have thousands of researchers across the USA and Canada that visit courthouses daily. They research the archives at the courts and abstract the information from the files they find. They fax or call the findings to us, and we in turn notify you.

Do we get copies of the cases or just information?
Usually just the information. If you request (for a fee) we can get uncertified or certified copies of the records and mail or fax them to you.

How is the information transferred?
Requests and results can be sent via the Internet*, e-mail*, or fax. We customize our searches to meet each clients specific needs.
