Vetting a vendor who performs employment screening is important. This is particularly true when entering into a contractual agreement or being part of a buyout where a new company requires you to use their current vendor.

Assuming the employment screening vendor is following FCRA regulations can be a mistake. To help protect your company, here are some questions to consider asking:

• What are the vendor’s regular practices regarding FCRA notices and legal requirements? 
• What steps do they take to protect employee or applicant information?
• Are their forms regarding FCRA regulations and disclosures current?
• Have they had any publicly disclosed violations of the FCRA or privacy breaches?

A little due diligence helps ensure the employment screening provider is a trusted supplier of information. This will help you to ensure you hire the best candidates, and build a trustworthy team.  If you need an experienced and well-vetted employment screening provider, contact us today for more information!
