Employment Background Screening Services

Establish research leads and select the courts and record sources that fit the position and candidate history.

SSN trace & address research

Associated names and addresses help identify where to research. An address trace is not proof of a criminal record, identity, or work authorization.

Identity & document verification

Government ID, document authentication and selfie-based options where supported and appropriate.

County & statewide criminal searches

Selected county court searches and available state repositories, with scope based on the jurisdictions ordered.

Federal criminal searches

Research in the separate federal court system; federal and county searches cover different sources.

National criminal database & corrections research

A broad database helps locate potential records for relevant source verification. Department of Corrections research is available within a selected scope.

A broad database is not a complete search of every court. The search window describes the research ordered; legal reporting limits are a separate question.

Build role-based screening for paid staff, volunteers and organizations serving children or vulnerable adults.

Sex offender registry searches

An additional screening layer alongside appropriate court research; coverage varies by state.

Child & adult abuse registries

Available child abuse or neglect, elder abuse and adult protective-services registry checks for authorized requests.

Fingerprint & program-specific coordination

Fingerprint-based checks and state-agency processes where the role, program or jurisdiction calls for them. Volunteer packages may include driving records when participants are transported.

Registry access depends on the requester and jurisdiction. A commercial report does not replace a mandated fingerprint or state-agency check.

Confirm available background information with the relevant employer, institution or licensing source.

Employment & education verification

Reported employers, dates, titles and available details; high school, college and graduate credentials. Source responses determine what can be confirmed.

Professional & trade credentials

Licenses, certifications and available status or disciplinary information. Professional Engineer (PE) checks can address licenses held in multiple states with each issuing authority.

References & military verification

Professional and personal reference interviews within the selected scope, plus military documentation review through the available DD-214 process.

IVES employment history

Authorized IRS Income Verification Express Service records can support W-2 and 1099 payer-history review by tax year, with salary-free employer-facing output and appropriately scoped attachments.

IVES requires applicant authorization and does not establish exact employment dates, titles or complete employment coverage. Verification is not a certification of hands-on skill or authorization to practice in every jurisdiction.

Separate driving-record research from the requirements of a covered transportation role.

MVR, CDLIS & PSP

Motor vehicle records for U.S. states and available Canadian jurisdictions; Commercial Driver’s License Information System searches; FMCSA Pre-Employment Screening Program crash and inspection history.

Clearinghouse & DOT employment investigations

Full and limited FMCSA Clearinghouse queries with applicable consent, plus prior-employer and safety-performance history requests within the relevant DOT scope.

DOT testing & physical coordination

Drug testing, collections, breath alcohol testing and DOT physical examination coordination.

Random programs & driver qualification files

Consortium and third-party administration, random selections, applicable Medical Review Officer and return-to-duty coordination, electronic DQ files and medical examiner certificate tracking.

An MVR, PSP report and Clearinghouse query are different products. Driving duties and the governing transportation rules determine the appropriate program, not the industry label alone.

Coordinate testing and examinations around your workplace program, collection location and required protocol.

Drug testing

5-, 10- and 12-panel urine options, oral fluid and hair testing, and DOT and non-DOT programs. Laboratory and Medical Review Officer coordination supports the selected process.

Breath alcohol testing

Breath alcohol testing, including DOT service. This is distinct from a blood alcohol laboratory test.

Collection arrangements

Collection-site, mobile, on-site and after-hours options subject to location and scheduling, including program-specific post-accident arrangements.

Occupational health

Physical examinations, DOT physicals, TB testing, titers and respirator fit testing with the relevant forms and employer requirements.

Confirm the panel, specimen, examination, location and protocol before ordering. Medical qualification and employment decisions remain with the appropriate professionals and employer.

Combine credential research, exclusion sources and ongoing review to support your organization’s credentialing process.

Exclusions & FACIS Level 3

OIG LEIE, SAM federal exclusions and available state Medicaid sources, plus FACIS Level 3 sanctions, exclusions and professional disciplinary screening.

Primary-source credentials

License and board-action verification, DEA registration confirmation and medical board certification through applicable ABMS or AOA sources.

NPDB support & credentialing files

Candidate self-query coordination and eligible-entity query or Continuous Query support through an authorized arrangement, with organization of verification results and monitoring information.

NPDB access is restricted to eligible, authorized arrangements; a self-query does not satisfy every entity-query obligation. FACIS is a commercial product, not a universal legal mandate or accreditation.

Review selected public records and regulatory sources for roles involving financial responsibility or public trust.

Financial Risk Search & civil records

Selected bankruptcies, civil judgments and tax liens, upper- and lower-court civil searches and litigation-history research. Financial Risk Search is not a consumer credit report or credit score.

Sanctions, watchlists & BrokerCheck

OFAC SDN and consolidated sanctions, EU and UK lists, politically exposed person screening and FINRA BrokerCheck research for relevant positions.

Specialized public-record research

Financial-fraud history and workers’ compensation records where access, timing and use are permitted and appropriate.

Possible watchlist matches require resolution. A politically exposed person designation is not evidence of wrongdoing; specialized records need careful permissible-use review.

Add relevant published information to a defined employment-screening scope.

Public social media review

Provider-supported reports focused on workplace-relevant public content, not access to private accounts or passwords.

Adverse media research

Published information that can supplement international, sanctions or other specialized searches.

A media reference is not a verified court finding. Establish a relevant scope and reviewed decision process rather than assessing protected characteristics.

Define the country or territory and the question you need answered before choosing a search.

Country-specific checks

Available criminality checks, employment and education verification, identity and document authentication, and adverse media research.

Local process coordination

Review consent, permissible use, translations and collection procedures; some regulated checks require the individual or an authorized local organization to initiate the process.

Records and access differ across countries. Availability in one country is not a promise of the same product everywhere.

Support employment-eligibility paperwork through a separate workflow from criminal screening.

Electronic I-9 & E-Verify

Form completion and validation, E-Verify submission and status tracking, reverification reminders, retention and correction workflows.

Remote examination support

Document examination support when the employer qualifies for the applicable DHS procedure.

Remote examination is not available to every employer under every circumstance. I-9 and E-Verify are distinct processes; unresolved results require the applicable review steps, not automatic rejection.

Choose post-hire sources, frequency and a documented review process for the population being monitored.

Records, exclusions & driving

Criminal-record, healthcare exclusion and sanctions, and driving-record monitoring options.

Licenses & certifications

Status and expiration tracking to support credential review after hire.

Monitoring depends on its sources and settings; it does not guarantee immediate awareness of every change. Consent and human review remain important before employment action.

Fit the screening program to your hiring operation, from a single role to multiple teams and locations.

Role-based packages & candidate experience

Client-specific packages, staffing and hiring-campaign workflows, mobile-friendly invitations, disclosures, authorization and secure information intake.

ATS, HR & API connections

Supported order, report and status workflows. Review the actual system, product version, configuration and implementation scope with Red Brick.

Adverse-action workflow support

Pre-adverse and final notice workflows and documentation; the employer retains responsibility for decisions and appropriate timing.

Contractor & volunteer payment arrangements

Organization-initiated programs may include individual payment when appropriate, following legal review of classification, location, role and screening type. Payment does not remove the organization’s screening obligations.

Accounts require Red Brick’s review and separate activation. These arrangements are not an unrestricted personal self-order service, and a supported connection is not a guarantee of an existing account integration.
