Employment Screening Services
POEknows offers comprehensive employment screening solutions designed to give employers the information they need to make confident, informed hiring decisions. Our services can be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization and the positions you are looking to fill.
Credit Reports
Employment credit reports provide insight into an applicant’s credit history and financial responsibility, when permitted by applicable law. This information can be particularly relevant for positions involving financial responsibilities, access to sensitive financial information, or fiduciary duties.
Court-Level Criminal History Records
POEknows provides court-level criminal record searches in jurisdictions across the country, helping employers identify reportable criminal history information associated with an applicant.
Searching at the court level can provide detailed, source-based information to support a thorough background screening process.
Individualized Assessment
An Individualized Assessment provides employers with a structured process for considering relevant circumstances surrounding an applicant’s criminal history before making an employment decision.
The assessment can help evaluate factors such as the nature and circumstances of the offense, the time that has passed, its relevance to the position, and additional information provided by the candidate.
Federal Criminal Records
Federal criminal record searches identify reportable cases prosecuted within the federal court system, which are generally not included in county or state criminal searches.
These searches can uncover relevant federal offenses and provide an additional layer of information for employers.
International Criminal Records
For candidates who have lived, worked, or studied outside the United States, international criminal record searches can provide available criminal history information from applicable foreign jurisdictions.
This service helps employers conduct a more comprehensive review of candidates with an international background.
Sex Offender Registry Search
A sex offender registry search checks available registries for reportable information associated with an applicant.
This search can be an important component of a comprehensive screening program, particularly for positions involving vulnerable populations or other sensitive responsibilities.
Employment Verifications
Employment verifications help confirm an applicant’s previous employment, including information such as dates of employment and positions held, when available.
Verifying work history can help employers identify discrepancies and better understand a candidate’s professional background.
Education Verifications
Education verifications confirm credentials reported by an applicant, such as attendance, degrees, diplomas, or other educational achievements, when available.
This helps employers ensure candidates possess the educational qualifications required for the position.
Professional References
Professional reference interviews provide valuable insight into a candidate’s work history, performance, strengths, and professional characteristics from individuals familiar with their work.
These conversations can add context that may not be captured through standard employment verification alone.
Driving Records
Motor vehicle record searches provide available information about an applicant’s driving history, including license status and reportable violations or other driving-related records.
This screening can be especially important when driving is an essential responsibility of the position.
Drug Testing & Occupational Health Screening
POEknows can coordinate employment-related drug testing and occupational health screening to support an employer’s workplace screening program.
Drug testing can help organizations maintain established workplace standards and meet applicable requirements for certain positions or industries.
Credibility Interviews
Credibility interviews provide employers with an additional tool for evaluating information supplied by a candidate and exploring areas relevant to the position.
A structured interview can help clarify inconsistencies, address areas of concern, and provide additional insight to support the hiring process.
Post-Hire Screening
Post-hire screening allows employers to conduct periodic or event-based background checks after an employee has been hired, when permitted by applicable law and company policy.
Ongoing screening can help organizations identify relevant changes that may affect an employee’s continued suitability for a position and support a safer, more informed workplace.
Social Media Screening
Social media screening reviews publicly available online content to identify job-relevant information that may warrant consideration during the hiring process.
When conducted appropriately and consistently, this service can provide additional insight while helping employers minimize exposure to protected or irrelevant personal information that should not influence an employment decision.
More Than a Background Check
Effective employment screening is not simply about ordering a report. Different positions, industries and organizations can require different types of information.
POEknows works with clients to identify screening services appropriate for their organization and the positions they need to fill.
From criminal history and verification services to drug testing, professional references, credibility interviews and post-hire screening, our goal is to provide employers with the information and support they need throughout the employment process.
