Run Your Background Checks With Background Runner
Our full service Background Check Service includes all of the following:
Identity Verification Background Checks
Verify if someone is really who they say they are and that they are eligible to work in the United States. Be confident that you know who you are hiring.
These Identity Verification Background Checks can be very useful for Current and Pre-Employment Screenings and Private Person Screenings for Domestic Workers.
- Social Security Number Verification
- Ensure that your employees are who they say they are and that you have an accurate address history.
- Form I-9 Compliance
- Used for Identity verification; required for hiring of all employees.
- eVerify Checks / I-9
- Answers the question about whether it is legal for your candidate to work in the USA: correlates information from a person’s I9 with information from the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security.
Driver & Transportation & Aviation Background Checks
If someone is going to be driving for you or your company, you’ll want to be sure that they’re a safe driver, have a valid driver license, and no DUIs. Our Driver & Transportation Background Checks will get you the information you need. Ideal for Employment Screenings for driver/delivery jobs and Private Person Screenings for Caregivers.
- DMV Records Check
- DMV Records contain not only driving records, such as accidents, convictions and failures to appear, but also license status, license class and physical identification information. Even if the candidate is not going to drive for your company, this helps you to confirm that a driver's license given to you as a form of identification is authentic.
- DMV Records Check provides the driver’s license status, license class and physical identification information. DMV Records Check will also reveal the driver’s history including accidents, DUI’s and traffic related violations. Whether the candidate is going to drive for you or your company, a DMV Records Check will also provide you the information to confirm that a driver’s license is authentic.
- DOT (Department of Transportation) Records Check
- Ideal for trucking companies and related industries by providing Drug Testing, DMV Records Check, Criminal Records Check, Employment Verification and Social Security Number Verification.
Criminal Background Check
Whether you are looking to hire someone, begin a relationship or uncover more information about someone you already know, our Criminal Background Check will provide the information to you. Useful for Employment Screenings and Private Person Screenings of all types.
- Criminal Records Check
- While some organizations have hiring programs specifically intended to hire and help to rehabilitate criminals, most companies prefer to hire people without criminal records, especially if the job involves the handling of money, the distribution of assets or involves the safety of the public or other staff.
- Sex Offender Registry Checks
- This service allows you to find the truth about your applicants. This service is also very important for those hiring a nanny, a caregiver or when dating online.
Employment/Resume Verification Background Checks
When you have job applicants who seem too good to be true, maybe they are. Use our Resume Verification Background Checks to help ensure that their resume is accurate. Useful for Employment Screenings, Private Person Screenings for Domestic Help and Private Person Screenings for Caregivers.
- Education Verification
- Does the applicant have the education and degree they claim? From High School through Ph.D., we will get you the truth.
- Employment Verification
- Prior job experience can be a good indicator of the potential for future performance, but unfortunately many new job applicants do not accurately represent their employment history on their resumes or job applications. We will verify job history for you.
- Professional Licensing Verification
- Certain professions require a professional license: CPAs, Attorneys, Doctors, Inspectors and many others. These licenses ensure a certain level of competency. Hiring the wrong person can cause endless trouble for your company. We will verify a license is current and unencumbered.
- Personal Reference Verification
- We will verify the references provided by your candidates.
Substance Abuse/Drug Screening
Maintaining a drug-free workplace is more complicated than ever these days, with varying laws and regulations in different states and counties. We can arrange for substance abuse and health screenings for your job candidates as well as current employees. Useful for Employment Screenings.
- Drug Testing
- Drug Testing helps to ensure that your job candidates and employees don’t bring destructive personal habits and addictions into the office.
- Alcohol Abuse Testing
- Alcohol abuse can cause poor job performance, as well as a long list of other problems, including physical harm to other employees and customers, missed deadlines and lost opportunities.
