Description
By not conducting employment screenings, an organization can suffer great financial and reputation damage from fraud, theft or even embezzlement as a result of failures to pursue proper screenings on potential employees. Fraud can become a drain on funds; the average loss is $97,000 for a large company and $127,000 for a small company. Through ChoicePoint's ScreenNow® service, an online screening solution, a member can conduct fast, secure and comprehensive background investigations on potential employees as well as on contractors and other partners who represent or service its company.

ChoicePoint's exclusive National Criminal File PLUS uses proprietary technology to provide instant results on any additional names and an address history associated with the candidate's Social Security number. Results are instantly compiled from multiple criminal record sources accessing more than 200 million criminal records covering all 50 states. Additional background screening, such as state criminal database records, motor vehicle checks, credit history and Social Security verification searches are compiled quickly and available online. Education and employment history verification, professional license and credentials verification, workers compensation records, reference checks, drug screening and a wide range of HR services are also provided through BIO's partnership with ChoicePoint.
