Identity Verification... the first STEP to safer Background Checks
Identity VerificationThe old tools simply don't work any more. Applicants looking to deceive employers and background screeners know how to provide false identifiers. The question is, can they be stopped.The SSN Trace can present RED flags, but it's not a tool that can be used to VERIFY IDENTITY.Consent Based Social Security Number Verification/Consumer Based... Great tool, but they require additional forms and increase cost and turnaround time.Identity Verification Technology... the best solution because it stops the applicant from providing false identifiers before they can get the background check process. Enhances the quality of the background screening program while reducing risk.

Court Access Fees on the RISE... Why?Court access fees are on the rise. What does that mean to the screening industry and the clients that we serve?In years past we would see updates to court access fees maybe every quarter or every six months. In the last year we are seeing updated court access fees every month and the additional fees to access court records are starting to stack up.By my calculations court access fees billed to clients at my background screening company went up by more than 15% in 2024. This is a pretty big increase. LISTEN TO THE PODCAST TO HEAR MORE...Connect with Tim Santonihttps://www.TimSantoni.comContact Santoni Backgroundshttps://www.santonibackgrounds.com
