What You Should Know Before Hiring

Every company is different. A local house-painting company might hire one new person a year. A luxury resort might hire thousands. Each company wants to make the right hire to avoid lost training time, reduce financial risk, and ensure a safe working environment.

You need a company that is not one-size-fits-all. Trace Alert works with you to create a customized screening program that reflects your hiring needs. We also provide ongoing threat-monitoring for clients who require that service.

Background screening companies promising an instantaneous report after a few clicks are omnipresent – and risky. These instant reports are simply not thorough. These companies rely on enormous pools of aggregate data that is often stale and can provide false matches or miss important criminal records. Their waivers of responsibility are far lengthier than their average background report.

Every background screening client of Trace Alert has a primary point of contact to assist throughout the onboarding of becoming a screening partner. You are not merely an account number or an online payment receipt with us. Your Trace Alert client manager will work closely with your human resources and/or security department to make sure that the implementation of your background screening program is seamless.

Our experience and attention to detail mean that the analysts at Trace Alert review each piece of data for accuracy. Human analysis matters now more than ever. Nothing is returned without review and many reports will have a secondary review as well to ensure your state and federal compliance needs are met.

Trace Alert analysts have real-world experience with courts, clerks, and researchers. They are versed in reading criminal records and will contact courts of record for clarification or even to provide information when a clerical error at the court is uncovered.

Out-of-date screening platforms hinder the ability to analyze data quickly, easily, and efficiently. This means slower turnaround times on reports and lost revenue for your company. Trace Alert utilizes The Flexible Research System screening platform which utilizes elite technology interwoven with expansive data sources. This platform provides our analysts unparalleled efficiency. We are always evolving to meet marketplace needs, aware of what the latest technology might catch and what it might miss. The intersection of rapid technology and human analysis is the cornerstone of our business model.
