In order to keep the company and our clients’ best interests in mind, it is imperative to establish guidelines for investigating our candidates’ backgrounds as part of our on-boarding process. This enables us to gain insight into the candidate to ensure we partner with reliable independent consultants, to verify candidates’ information for truthfulness and accuracy, and to screen candidates convicted of serious criminal behavior.

These checks are essential, as our independent consultants have access to sensitive and confidential information. The background check policy may also apply to internal candidates who are being considered for a promotion/transfer.

Background Investigation Release (Authorization) Form, Background Check Report

We aim for a transparent partnering process that respects candidates’ rights. We are committed to all existing Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) legislation, as well as to all local and state nondiscrimination laws. We are also committed to being compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Background checks are administered for all employees and independent consultants and include criminal record checks and social security traces. Drug screening may also be completed (if required by client). Background checks are essential, as our employees and independent consultants have access to sensitive and confidential information.

Prospective hires/partners receive the pre-employment background check release form, which includes the disclosure statement and authorization form, the summary of rights under the FCRA, and list of agency contacts to obtain more information if needed.

Individuals/employees with felony convictions or misdemeanors involving financial crimes, fraud, or theft will not be considered independent consultancy and/or employment.
