At the beginning of each month, we email out invoices for the screening ran the prior month. There are payment options on the invoice. We accept most forms of payment. (Direct ACH, Company Check, AMEX, MC, VISA).

Employers

To start a background check, you will only need your candidate’s full legal name, email address and state the job is in.

Your candidate will receive a link to a secure site where they can provide the rest of the information we need: Social Security number, date of birth, and current home address. Our electronic consent process, with built-in e-sign, keeps the entire process quick, easy, and accurate.

Of course, you can collect the candidate information yourself, if you prefer.

The Screening Source is considered a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) and therefore is mandated by the FCRA to comply with all FCRA guidelines, rules and regulations.

No, you have other options – you can submit the names to us via CSV spreadsheet file format. We will create a Batch Order for you. There is no additional charge for this service. Please contact us for more information.

Results are available on our secure, encrypted website, which you can access 24/7. There is no software to buy; it’s a free website offered exclusively to our clients. In addition, we can fully integrate your system with ours to eliminate any duplicate data entry.

We work with our clients to help determine the level of security they are seeking for a particular position. While you might want to check an applicant’s driving history, if that employee is not going to be driving for employment-related purposes, then it’s a waste of your resources.

The social security address trace report may NOT be used as the basis for adverse action. It is used to verify or correct information or as a tool for additional research. The social security address trace report does not signify someone’s eligibility to work in the US nor their immigration status.

Candidate

Different names may show up on an SSN report which means the applicant may have gotten married or just changed their name entirely. The most common reason for an unrelated name on the SSN Trace is due to data entry errors when entering SSN on any applications or documents. This does not mean that someone else is using the applicant’s SSN. A SSN report may show “NO RECORDS FOUND” which could mean the number was entered incorrectly, or the applicant has very little or no address history or the individual may have recently been issued their social security number.
