Consumer Protection, It’s the Law.
Professional Screening Firms operate in a controlled, regulated and transparent process pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The FCRA has several requirements for Professional Screening Firms, including, but not limited to, the following…
Employers and property managers contract with Professional Screening Firms to ensure applicant screening is compliant with laws and regulations and designed to promote safety in our communities based on the position sought. Once the employer has contracted with a Professional Screening Firm and certified that they will comply with laws and regulations and have a permissible purpose to request a background check, the employer defines the types of background checks they would like completed and the point in time when the background check will be conducted during the placement process. Then, the above steps occur.
