TRUSST

Utilization of the Social Security Trace/ID Report in conjunction with AISS' criminal record searches yields an objective source from which to determine candidates' address histories. Our TRUSST product (Tracking Residences Using Social Security Trace) has proven to significantly increase "hit" or record ratios by revealing previous addresses perhaps intentionally undisclosed by applicants.

Criminal Record Search

AISS provides industry-leading, in-person/real-time criminal record information. AISS obtains criminal records from counties, municipal courts, and statewide repositories.
AISS can provide criminal record searches in any U.S. county, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Canada, accessed via the Clerk of Courts Office in the specific county responsible for the applicant’s current and/or former residential and/or work addresses.

AISS utilizes nearly 3,000 court record researchers to physically research and collect criminal history information in more than 5,000 individual court locations.

• Criminal case information reported includes:
• Type of search
• Date search was performed
• Scope of search (felony and/or misdemeanor)
• Jurisdiction searched
• Criminal charge
• Case or docket number
• Outcome/full disposition
• Conviction/non-conviction verification
• Applicable candidate identifiers

The furnishing of complete and accurate criminal record information is Acxiom’s goal and responsibility. If a criminal record is found, it is imperative to ensure that the record is for the correct individual. To report a record for an individual, Acxiom applies multiple-identifier criteria. The record must be matched by either a combination of name and Social Security number or name, date of birth, address, driver’s license number, physical description, etc.

Federal Criminal Record Search

Federal Criminal Record Searches (by district) are also available.

Accessed via one or more of the 94 U.S. Federal District Courthouses nationwide, a search will be conducted for crimes involving violations of federal law. Federal criminal record searches are conducted at the specific U.S. District Court covering the region where an applicant has resided.

County Civil Record Search

Judgments, liens, and pending civil suits—such as bankruptcy or child support obligations—are uncovered in an AISS civil record search. Providing a personal snapshot of an applicant’s legal obligations, this service helps you gauge how these obligations might affect job performance.

Federal Civil Record Search

Civil record checks on the federal level are also available. Searched by district, AISS provides full detail on civil cases filed at applicable U.S. District Courts.

Motor Vehicle Record

All it takes is a single unlicensed, suspended or uninsured driver to wreak havoc on your business. That’s because every time your employee starts a car on company time, both you and your employee are liable. Our Motor Vehicle Record search reveals driving history, including speeding and reckless driving and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Employment Credit Report

An employment credit report may give you insight into an applicant’s level of financial responsibility, which can be particularly 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 data may also be included. (AISS strongly endorses and supports the letter and spirit of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.)

Social Security Trace / ID Report

AISS verifies applicants' Social Security numbers, detects fraudulent numbers, and flags numbers that have not been issued by the Social Security administration or have been filed with death claims. In addition to determining the identity of an individual, AISS’ standard ID report also provides a list of previous addresses at which subjects have lived.

Education Verification

One of the most common areas of resume fraud occurs in the overstatement of the applicant's education. An AISS Education Verification will allow you the peace of mind of knowing that your candidates indeed have the academic training required.

Certificate & Professional License Verification

License verification is essential to protecting your company. Our verification service confirms all professional licenses claimed by an applicant. You can rest assured that your employees have the qualifications they say they have.

Employment Verification

An employment verification can provide you with the key information about an applicant's work history, productivity and overall work ethic. Through interviews with previous employers and/or their organizations' human resources departments, AISS can verify the facts surrounding your candidates' historical work performance.

Workers' Compensation Search

A Workers' Compensation Search may determine whether an employee will take advantage of injury claims. If a person has abused workers' compensation in the past, there is a chance he/she will do it again. Conducted in available states, AISS reports full detail surrounding filed claims in accordance with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

Drug Screening

Drug testing helps make your work environment safer and keeps productivity levels up. It’s estimated that as many as nine million U. S. employees currently use illicit drugs. The use of illegal substances on the job negatively impacts your employees. Statistics prove that drug abuse costs American businesses billions of dollars in lost productivity. The indirect cost is immeasurable - increased crime, poor performance, even loss of life.

Acxiom Information Security Services Drug Testing alerts you to substance abuse problems in your workplace. Our complete drug testing, collection and Medical Review Officer (MRO) programs can be tailored to your organization's specific needs, allowing Acxiom to help keep your workplace drug-free.

Sexual Offender Registry Check

A Sexual Offender Registry Check, in available states, may reveal information relative to applicants with histories of sexual crimes, the severity of those offenses, personal defendant identifiers, and arrest dates. Know the individuals you welcome into your culture. Help protect your company from one of the most glaring areas of corporate liability, sexual violence. Let AISS' Sexual Offender Registry Checks provide insight into the previous noteworthy behavior of your applicants.

National Criminal Acxess Search (Criminal Offender Database)

AISS’ national criminal record database contains more than 180 million criminal record files. Information in this national criminal record file is purchased and compiled from a variety of sources, including local law enforcement, statewide criminal record repositories, State Department of Correction records, state parole and probation records, local public records sources, etc. The national criminal file, therefore, may uncover criminal history information in multiple states/jurisdictions where the applicant has had no previous address history.

Note: Acxiom recommends that the national criminal file search only be used in conjunction with a physical/real time search of the local county or federal court records.

Suspected Terrorist Watchlist

AISS’ proprietary Suspected Terrorist Watchlist provides snapshot confirmation of the recorded or suspected terrorist affiliation of applicants pursuing employment with your company. Know the people you welcome into your corporate culture by examining the multiple, often unearthed dimensions of their backgrounds. Match your applicant reports against federal lists of known or suspected terrorists and money launderers. Use the Suspected Terrorist Watchlist to round off the comprehensive reports on your applicants.

Applicant Scoring Service

As a full service, behind the scenes provider, AISS takes a total solution approach to the background screening services it offers. Evaluated by trained AISS staff, completed applicant results may be posted for customer access, individually flagged with the appropriate “Pass,” “Fail,” or “Provisional” designations based upon predetermined customer scoring critera. A convenient way to better ensure the legal consistency and timeliness of hiring decisions, AISS' scoring service is a particular favorite among customers with decentralized, bustling Human Resources departments.

Adverse Action Fulfillment Service

In conjunction with or independent of AISS' Applicant Scoring Service, customers may also elect to have all administrative FCRA imposed employer adverse action obligations handled directly by AISS. Based upon all “failed” individual scoring designations or in response to documented, applicant specific requests submitted by the customer, AISS offers full consumer disclosure compliance services as required under federal law. As appropriate, the necessary pre-adverse and adverse action notifications, as well as hardcopies of final applicant reports and a summary of consumer rights, are mailed by AISS to the subject of the background report on behalf of the employer. All transactions are documented and time stamped, assisting in the maintenance of a watertight, legally insulated compliance program.

OIG/GSA Checks

AISS’ Office of Inspector General Checks compares your candidates against the official List of Excluded Individuals/Entities, a summary of those currently excluded from participating in federally funded health care programs. Among the reasons for exclusion are: convictions related to patient abuse, fraud, licensing board actions, and default on health education assistance loans. Our General Services Administration Checks reveal individuals currently barred from conducting business with the federal government.

FACIS Checks

The Fraud and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) Check aids companies in identifying sanctioned individuals and entities in the healthcare field. AISS offers the most comprehensive FACIS option available—a search of disciplinary actions taken by all federal agencies, as well as those taken by licensing and certification agencies throughout the entire United States.

DEA Checks

AISS’ Drug Enforcement Administration Checks verify that a practicing health care provider remains in good standing, free of recorded drug-related disciplinary action.
