Screen

Reduce hiring liabilities by knowing the whole story behind every candidate.

A common HR concern is unknowingly hiring a candidate with a checkered past. Why? Because it can jeopardize the safety of your workplace and expose your organization to unwanted liabilities.

ADP’s Screening Tools can help you replace question marks and guesswork with reliable background data and well-reasoned, confident decisions.

Our pre-employment background checks include:

In addition, an ADP specialist can help you create customized, position-specific background screening packages.

When you need the most accurate, comprehensive data possible, call on ADP to perform FCRA-compliant pre-employment background checks. You can be confident our identity validations, criminal background checks and other screens will deliver the information you need to make informed decisions. 

Identity Validations

Take the first step in simplifying background checks

How do you know if your candidates’ Social Security Numbers are legitimate? And how do you know where to search for their background information to make sure they aren’t hiding something from their past?

Identity Validations from ADP help provide peace of mind in two ways.

First, you can run an instant search against 70 million Social Security Administration records to verify if a Social Security Number is authentic, as well as, the year and state in which the number was issued.

Second, you can confirm a candidate’s current address, locate former addresses and automatically build your order to initiate a thorough criminal background check. This saves you the hassle of researching every candidate’s address history and manually building a background check order. 

Criminal Court Records

Make your hiring decision a safe one with criminal background checks

The perfect place to look for information to evaluate the integrity and trustworthiness of your candidates is in their past. ADP serves as your single resource for up-to-date county and state criminal court records.

ADP’s Criminal Court Records enable you to conduct criminal background checks you can rely on to help reduce violence, theft and fraud while protecting the safety of your workplace. Our standard criminal records help you cover your bases with seven years of reliable information, while our extended reports deliver 10 years or more of data.

Build your next criminal records check with the following ADP searches:

• County Criminal Court Records - View details of a candidate’s criminal past with felony records from all 3,187 U.S. counties.
• State Criminal Court Records – Expand your search to include felony and misdemeanor information at the state level (where available).
• Federal Records – Ideal for conducting a criminal record check for immigration fraud or weapons and drug crimes.
