Services

Criminal records are searched by BackTrack representatives in the county of residence and/or county of employment. Felony searches cover a minimum of seven years. We have access to over 3500 county court houses. Your report may show any felony and/or misdemeanor convictions, incarcerations, probations, and outstanding warrants.

Searches felony and misdemeanor records from the state’s central repository. Because each state compiles, reports, and updates information differently, we suggest using Statewide searches as a supplement to other criminal records checks.

This search can capture potentially important information not revealed by state or county checks - things like interstate theft, kidnapping, bank robbery, hijacking, bank fraud, hate crimes, terrorism, internet child pornography, arson, or carjacking.

A candidate’s history of civil lawsuits does not come to light during a standard criminal records search - thus, a civil litigation search is a key step in verifying your candidate’s employability. This search reports dates, subjects and outcomes of any civil suits involving your applicant. A history of litigious activity may offer a vital clue to your applicant’s character, and may foreshadow an employee who will cost your company time and money.

A search that reveals any serious extraditable felony or misdemeanor warrants for arrest or wants. Note: Information is limited to the type of record, status of record, and name of agency of origin. Once a warrant is found, a county criminal search must be conducted for specific case and identification information.

Searches the state’s sexual offenders database. For a more comprehensive search, see our CrimeTrack Criminal Database and National Sex Offender Search.

An important supplement to criminal records searches. This search establishes an applicant’s name or names, Social Security number, and address history. These addresses serve as the benchmark for beginning a criminal records search. An effective way to verify your candidate’s criminal history and to ensure legal protection.

Our newest and most important offering to be used at the very beginning of every background check could save unnecessary expenses.

BackTrack is one of the first background screening companies to offer this service. The purpose of the Consent Based SSN Verification System (CBSV) is to allow private businesses and government entities to verify that the name and SSN obtained from an applicant matches or does not match the data in SSA’s records. The information is matched against SSA’s Master File of Social Security Numbers (SSNs), using Social Security number, name, date of birth and gender code (if available).

Security Administration will return one of three responses:

• Yes – The information submitted for verification matches the Social Security Administration’s records.
• No – The information submitted for verification does not match the Social Security Administration’s records.
• Deceased – The name and social security number combination submitted for verification matches the Social Security Administration’s records, but the records indicate that the Number Holder is deceased.

In order to use this search, the following information must be sent to BackTrack:

• The applicant needs to fill out the separate release provided by the Social Security Administration, which may not be altered. This release must be provided to BackTrack prior to processing the request.
• First and Last Name of the applicant.
• Social Security Number of the applicant.

Verifies key employment history elements including dates, positions held, reasons for leaving, eligibility for rehire, and compensation.

Our Basic Employee verification supplemented with additional information about job duties, job performance, attendance history, attitude, and promotability.

Using records directly from colleges, universities, trade schools, high schools, and state GED databases, we verify your applicant’s degree earned, major areas of study, and dates of attendance.

Verifies federal and/or state licensing and professional certifications. Report data may include current status, expiration/renewal dates and restrictions, incidents or disciplinary actions, and adverse actions against the applicant. Some of the most common credential verifications we undertake are relative to the hiring of a physician, surgeon, pharmacist, teacher, nurse, dentist, CPA, or attorney, but many other categories are available as well.

Trained BackTrack interviewers contact references and ascertain information about your applicant’s reliability, trustworthiness, competency and integrity. Interview structure can be customized to meet your specific needs.

The Fraud and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) databases, which identifies sanctioned individuals and entities in the healthcare field and allows organizations to make risk management decisions. Information for this database is obtained from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (DHHS-OIG) and state licensing agencies and contains information on excluded individuals and other adverse actions taken against providers. Using this search helps identify providers reported by both federal and state agencies and decreases your organization’s risks of government sanctions and/or monetary penalties from civil suits.

There are three tiers of search available, depending on how much involvement with patient care your employee may have.

Three Search Levels Include:

Level 1: Conducts a search of the sanction information as taken by the OIG, the GSA and other federal agencies. The information reported in this level meets the government's minimum requirements for sanction screening as set forth in the OIG's Compliance Program Guidance.

Used for low risk employees and contractors or those who are not involved with patient care.

Level 2: Combines Level 1 search of the federal agencies with the disciplinary action information from multiple agencies and one state of choice.

Used for moderate risk employees and contractors such as administrators.

Level 3: Combines Level 1 and 2 and is the most robust search option, allowing you to conduct a search of disciplinary actions taken by federal agencies as well as those taken by licensing and certification agencies in all 50 states. This is the most comprehensive search method available.

Used for high-risk individuals and contractors or those who are directly involved with patient care such as physicians, nurses, physical therapists, etc.

Carefully harvested and cross-checked data that reveals important clues to your applicant’s character and reliability. Data reported can include validity of Social Security number, payment history, bankruptcies, and collection liabilities; as well as verification of current and previous addresses and employments. This search is especially vital when an applicant is being considered for a job that has access to the company’s checkbook, credit cards or funds.

Liability and insurance issues make this search a must when the job requires driving on behalf of the company. We check and verify license validity, driving restrictions or revocations, violations, accidents, convictions, and validity of any special licensing. State-mandated service fees apply.

We can also check licenses through the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS), which is a federal clearinghouse and repository of commercial driver licensing data. The CDLIS enables the states to exchange information about the driving records and driver’s licenses of Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) drivers. This helps assure that only one license is issued to a driver and that drivers currently disqualified are prevented from obtaining a Commercial Drivers License (CDL). The system, established by the Secretary of Transportation, contains records of commercial driver licenses issued to commercial drivers. The CDLIS retains records of a driver's current commercial license, indicates which state the driver has a current license and also indicates up to three previous states where the driver may have held a commercial drivers license. A driving record search for any or all of the states in which CDLIS indicates the driver has had a commercial license may then be conducted.
