Staff who participate in and/or make the final decision on a new hire must know what information is available to aid in their choosing the best applicant for the position. Many rely on a vendor to “interpret” this information, and most of those pre-employment information providers do not offer this service.
For instance:
- Civil filings at the state and county level can provide information about someone’s integrity. Know what is potentially available.
- Run a driving record on every candidate whether or not they will be driving on the job. Most states have reciprocal agreements relating to driving records. So if someone commits a criminal driving offense in another state, that record will more than likely appear on his or her home state driving record. Oftentimes this out of state criminal activity will not show up on a home state criminal record check.
