Whether you are a consumer, an employer, or a job seeker, you are probably aware of the big three credit reporting agencies. Experian, Equifax and TransUnion are used by virtually everyone from credit card issuers to mortgage lenders, and anyone else needing to conduct employee background checks.
We usually think of the big three first when running employee background checks, primarily because that is where we will find major defaults like foreclosures and public judgments. What you might not know is that there are several other consumer reporting agencies that can be used to conduct employee background checks.
These other agencies are actually fairly diverse in the information the collect. Because of that wide range, you (as a hiring manager or owner) have a better understanding of the applicant you are doing pre employment screening on.
For example, you can do a check that revolves around their check writing habits. Even though it is not as commonplace as what it might have once been, some people will still write checks, especially if they are floating their own personal loan. A bad check will not show up on one of the big three’s reports unless it goes past the point of collections. A check verification system will show if the checks are being written in the first place.
You can also find employment verification services too. These are certified agencies that track employment dates and sometimes the reason why an employee was terminated- particularly useful for employee theft cases that were not prosecuted.
