Better Information. Faster Decisions.
Obtaining meaningful information from former employers has become increasingly challenging. Speed Screen combines available screening information with POEknows’ professional applicant interview to give employers a more complete picture of a candidate without unnecessarily delaying the hiring process.
Fast Turnaround
Speed Screen is designed to bring together important employment screening information within approximately 48 to 72 hours so employers can keep their hiring process moving.
Professional Applicant Interview
A professional, respectful conversation with the applicant helps clarify employment history, address gaps and inconsistencies, and provide context for information discovered during the screening process.
Multiple Screening Resources
Available information from several screening resources can be reviewed together, giving POEknows a broader foundation for identifying areas that may require clarification or additional verification.

The Applicant Interview Makes a Difference
An application and resume don’t always provide the complete employment history of a candidate. Gaps, omitted positions and inconsistencies can leave employers with unanswered questions.
POEknows conducts an in-depth, professional and respectful interview with the applicant. During the conversation, information obtained through the screening process can be used to clarify employment history and address discrepancies that may require further review.
The interview gives the applicant an opportunity to provide context, explain inconsistencies and correct or supplement information previously provided.
Bringing the Information Together
The value of Speed Screen isn’t simply collecting individual reports. POEknows reviews available screening information together to identify issues that may warrant clarification during the applicant interview or additional verification.
Employment History
Applicant-provided employment information can be reviewed for gaps, inconsistencies or prior positions that may warrant additional discussion or verification.
Criminal & Identity Research
Available criminal history and identity-related screening information can provide additional context for the overall applicant review.
Driving & Credit Information
When appropriate and permitted for the position, available motor vehicle and employment-purpose credit information may be incorporated into the screening process.
A Clearer Summary for the Employer
After reviewing the available screening information and completing the applicant interview, POEknows prepares an advisory summary highlighting relevant findings, discrepancies, areas requiring clarification and information that may warrant additional verification.
This gives employers a more organized picture of the screening results so they can evaluate the information in accordance with their hiring policies and applicable requirements.
If additional employment or educational verification is appropriate, POEknows can help identify the next steps needed to complete the screening process.
Speed Screen May Include:
- Professional applicant interview
- Employment history review
- Criminal history research
- Identity-related screening
- Driving record information when applicable
- Employment-purpose credit information when applicable
