Background Checks
Liberty Alliance - there's no better way.
Background checks can conjure up different ideas for each person or company. For Liberty Alliance, a complete background check is simply a unique solution to your screening needs. Liberty Alliance, Inc. is uniquely talented in providing unmatched, personal solutions for each client, starting with our core service--background checks. Within this broad term there are very specific solutions to consider.
A Background Check run for employment screening purposes is typically done when an applicant is near the final steps to become an employee. With strict adherence to the FCRA and other State and Local laws, a report can be run. The most common searches in this type of check include: Criminal Search, Social Security (or Address History) Report, Employment Verification, Education Verification, National Database Criminal Search, DMV Report, and a National Security Search. Although these are the most common, Liberty Alliance offers many searches to meet the needs of each client and industry specific requirements.
Many companies will process an employment screening on a routine basis to ensure each employee has maintained a record that is consistent with company policies. This routine check can be a complete repeat of the original background check, or it can be a smaller version.
There are also many instances where a promotion or other major event for an employee will trigger a new screening. In the end, companies have a great deal of freedom to choose the searches they find appropriate.
For many companies a Background Check is never complete without a drug test. Company preference, industry standards and employment laws have a great deal of influence on the type of drug test that is performed. Some of the most popular drug tests for a Background Check are the 5-panel, 7-panel and 9-panel test. There are also differences in how the tests are collected based on pre-employment or post accident procedures. If your company needs a drug test as a part of the screening package, Liberty Alliance can coordinate an entire drug testing system for your company.
A Background Check for a tenant can be very different than pre or post employment screening. A Criminal Search, Credit Report, Reference Verification and Eviction Report are typically the focus for any property management firm, landlord, or homeowner looking to rent out a property. By running the appropriate tenant screening, the likelihood of a great tenant can be substantially increased. Remember, a proper rental application and permission from the tenant will be needed to process any report. There are also very specific laws at the state and local level dictating how this process should happen. If you will be renting out a property or even just a room, it is important to process a Background Check for tenant screening.
This type of highly specialized Background Check is one of the most confusing and expensive reports to run. Each country has its own laws, process and challenges. Then, much like the United States, a Background Check can be affected by state and local differences. With Liberty Alliance, we can navigate this confusing and intense problem. But, any screening done outside of the United States will be more expensive than expected and require specific paperwork. Should you need to run an International Background Check be sure it is done with a firm that can provide official records or clearances. Without that you might be buying a rubber stamp that wastes your money and will never return possible records.
Every company is different when it comes to their employment screening requirements, so flexible options are paramount to find what fits a company’s needs. In fact, there may be a need for multiple Background Check packages based on the position that is being hired. The most important piece of the puzzle is to determine which type of screening best suits your company. Liberty Alliance knows the importance that is placed on a Background Check and understands that every one that is conducted is a necessary part of the interview process that enables a hiring manager to make a sound hiring decision. Knowing what is in an applicant’s past is the sole purpose for conducting these types of searches. It is imperative that the specific screening needs are identified so that a full picture of an applicant’s past is provided. All of the Background Check options listed above provide flexibility for a company to determine what information is necessary to make an informed decision that meets company guidelines. Liberty Alliance is available to help you assess your employment screening needs. Our specially trained sales people can present you with options, provide you with peace of mind, and find what is important for your company in a Background Check.
