A La Carte Checks :
Credit History : (Pre-Employment Evaluation Report) - An employment credit report let's you know an applicant's level of financial responsibility, which can be especially important when hiring for certain positions. This search provides a trend report detailing an applicant's ability to meet regular financial obligations and pertinent public records, such as collections, lawsuits or judgments. Identification information, former addresses and past employment may be included. We strongly endorse and support the letter and spirit of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, believing it recognizes and safeguards the public, while being responsible for the fair treatment of consumers. All searches are conducted thoroughly, while protecting the legal rights of all applicants at the same time. $9.00
Federal (National) Criminal History : (Criminal Offender Database) - Contains more than 180 million criminal record files from a multitude of federal, state and local criminal record repositories. Applicants with prior criminal records don't always reveal vital information. Searches reveal, among other crimes, histories of sexual offences and violence - employer's two major areas of legal liability. Information revealed through this search can identify high risk applicants, helping you prevent internal theft of your company assets, trade secrets and technologies. Our program conducts only 100% in person, real time searches to provide the most comprehensive, up to date information available. $20.00
Personal References : References provided by applicants will be contacted directly by Acxiom. $15.00
Criminal History (County) : - Acxiom will perform both a national criminal database check as well as physical county record check. The national criminal database does not contain records for every single county within the United States . A large percentage of crimes on record can be found within the current county of residence for an individual. $25.00
Motor Vehicle Report - Checks driving history, including speeding, reckless driving, accidents and driving under the influence. Revoked and suspended l ice nsesare also reported. This search provides additional identity verification, including name, SSN and vital statistics. $20.00
Previous Employment Verification: - Provides direct contact with previous employers to confirm stated work history, including dates of hire, terminations, job title and rehire eligibility. Unfortunately, applicants are not always honest when it comes to providing the details of previous work experiences. Poor work performance usually repeats itself, many times being the result of the employee's psychosocial issues brought into the workplace. Therefore, information from previous employers and co-workers is extremely valuable when compiling a complete profile of your applicant. $18.00
Education Verification : - Confirms educational credentials through direct contact with educational facilities. During the hiring process, employers often scrutinize an applicant's educational background, assuming the information provided is accurate. Educational credentials are often used to determine the applicant's position and salary. Acxiom can provide you with a complete educational history on an applicant. Undergraduate, graduate, technical, business and trade schools are directly contacted. Medical, nursing, accounting and attorney l ice nses, to name a few, are also verified. $20.00
National Social Security Search (NSSS ) : - The social security number is one of the most abused pieces of personal information. Acxiom can search available records in order to verify an applicants social security number, detect fraudulent numbers and flag numbers that have not been issued by the Social Security Administration or have been filed with death claims. This check targets counties in which applicants have resided, but have not disclosed, to uncover possible criminal histories. This tool has proven to increase "hit" or record ratios, or the overall percentage of applicants found to have criminal histories. Alias and maiden names can also be discovered through an NSSS search. $10.00
State Criminal : - Records will be checked utilizing individual repositories for each state. These state databases are typically maintained by State Pol ice agencies. These databases often contain records from each individual county within that state. Currently, some states maintain very accurate databases while others are spotty. Please review the state mandatory fee schedule attached to this document . $19.00

Criminal Case Information Includes and Definitions
COUNTY: County searches have a great advantage because arrest and disposition records are initially stored in the counts courthouse. Usually they are hand-searched and more complete records are obtained. One of the advantages is if someone has lived in one area (county) for many years it is a relatively quick and easy search. This allows you to gain a true picture of what this person has/hasn't done in the past. Another advantage of county background checks is that usually at this level, you can obtain all charges, regardless if they were convicted or not. This also proves to be valuable when deciding on who to hire.
- VS -
STATEWIDE: The main advantage of a state search is that you can search an entire state for criminal records. It is not necessary to know all of the cities or counties your subject has lived in. One disadvantage is that although many states makes the central storage facility available, it does not have the authority to require the counties? participation in reporting. In other words, some counties report and some don't. What happens if during a statewide background check the county that your subject has three felonies in, doesn't report to the state storage facility? Their record would come back clean, and placed in their file, and everyone would be happy...especially your new employee, who is a convicted felon. Another disadvantage is that information received from a statewide facility/search only will show you felony or misdemeanor convictions. Wouldn't you want to know if your potential employee has been arrested 14 times, but got off each time? Information on your subject may exist at the county courthouse that would not appear on a statewide search. Some states are more up to date than others, and some have better access than others. Also, some states require a signed release or fingerprints from the subject before you can do a statewide background check. For example, if you were to conduct a check on O.J. Simpson, it may or may not come back that he was charged with first-degree murder due to the fact he was never convicted of it. Guilty or not, you as the employer should want to know about any and all charges, not just serious crimes or ones that the subject has been convicted of. All statewide searches have limitations as to their comprehensiveness or accuracy. The official state repository, for example, may want to limit its records to only those which resulted in a conviction; dismissed cases would not be reported. A state repository may only maintain records of felonies and gross misdemeanors; minor misdemeanors may not be available. Not all states are available. Countywide records are always the route to take to obtain best results in a special area.
(Note) State background checks incur an additional state mandated fee to access their records. These fees will be in addition to the base fees outlined in CIS subscriber agreement document.
