Businesses are vulnerable in negligent hiring cases if they have overlooked a criminal record. There can be a definite correlation between someone's past record and their future behavior. One common challenge is determining where to search for someone's record. Individuals who are trying to hide their records are usually not forth coming with accurate information about where they have lived, worked, or gone to school. We strongly recommend ordering a Social Security Verification to assist in identifying areas that should be searched. Once it is determined where to search, a search can be conducted at either the county or state level depending upon the state. A statewide search can be used to supplement the standard county criminal check, and it may identify convictions that occurred in counties that were omitted by the applicant. However, be cautious in using them as a replacement because some state repositories do not include all cases at the county level. |
