Employee Screening Services

Social Security Number Trace
The Social Security Trace provides information about the names and addresses associated with a given Social Security Number. This service aids in deriving address history used to conduct criminal history searches and can be used as a step in validating a candidate’s identity. It is conducted via a search of credit bureau files and many other aggregate databases. The trace can show prior address history and other alias names (maiden or aka) associated with the subject. Finally, it may also help uncover evidence of identity theft and/or deceased SSN numbers.

State District Court Criminal Searches
State District Court Criminal Searches or County Level Searches are one of the most powerful tools for uncovering criminal records. When law enforcement agencies report felony and misdemeanor charges, a county court is where those records are most likely to be filed. We handpick information directly from courthouses in every county in the United States, only utilizing authorized field researchers or approved online subscription databases when available. All county criminal searches go back a minimum of seven years and include felonies, misdemeanors, deferred adjudication, dismissals, etc.

Multi-Jurisdictional Search
The Multi-Jurisdictional Search combs more than 300 million criminal records from sources such as county records, statewide records, and state sex offender registries (covering 49 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and Guam). It also includes a National Security Check including national and international terrorism sources, and other proprietary databases.

Some featured sources include:

• The Department of Corrections (DOC)
• The Administration of the Court (AOC)
• Health and Human Services Exclusion List (OIG)
• US General Administration – Excluded Parties List (GSA)
• Office of Foreign Assets Control – Specially Designated Nationals List (OFAC)
• US Department of Commerce – Denied Persons List

Driving Record Employee Screening
Driving Record searches are conducted through the Department of Motor Vehicles and provide information on applicant’s driving history. Most states will allow searches over the past three years for employment purposes. Additionally, some states require a signed consent from the employee and/or the signature of the employer to release records. Applicable instruments will be made available when necessary.

Federal District Court Criminal Searches
Some offenses are violations of Federal law as opposed to State or Local law and their records are located in US District Courts. Each state has at least one of these courts, while others are divided into as many as four. Federal violations generally will not appear in either a county or statewide criminal check and therefore must be conducted separately. Offenses are usually severe and can include internet child pornography, kidnapping, drug trafficking, interstate transportation of stolen goods, bank robbery and embezzlement to name a few.

Education Verification
Attempted verification of listed educational history. Verifications may include: dates of attendance, degree(s) awarded, GPA, etc. ISP also offers Professional Licensing Verifications directly through the entity that provided the License.

Employment Verification

Drug Screenings / Employment Physicals
Drug screening services include custom urinalysis panel (5-panel, 10-panel or other combination) for DOT (Department of Transportation) and Non-DOT approved drug screening services. This includes management of the regular random selection as enforced by DOT. Additional services include Hair Sample Testing, Oral Swabs (saliva swab for drug screening), QED Swabs (saliva swab for alcohol screening), and the Breathalyzer “Breath Tube” screen.

Employment physicals are also provided including DOT Physicals. Physicals can be customized to meet each individual client’s screening needs.

These services are provided nationwide and in many international locations.

Office of Foreign Asset control (OFAC) Search
This search includes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationals" or "SDNs." Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.

Consumer Credit Report
This report will provide the credit history of the applicant, including any bankruptcies, tax liens, charge-offs, repossessions, collection accounts, returned checks, late payments, etc. A copy of the credit report will be attached to the completed report.

Bankruptcy/Lien Report
This report will show whether or not an applicant has filed for a bankruptcy (even if the courts denied the request for bankruptcy protection).
