A credit report search provides a detailed overview of a candidate’s financial history, including credit score, outstanding debts, payment history, and any bankruptcies or liens. This check helps employers assess financial responsibility, particularly for roles that involve financial decision-making or handling sensitive financial data, ensuring a more informed hiring process.
A criminal background check is an essential part of the hiring process, helping employers assess the criminal history of potential candidates. By screening for past convictions, arrests, or pending charges, this check ensures a safer and more secure work environment. It allows businesses to mitigate risks, make informed decisions, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. Whether for pre-employment vetting or ongoing employee screening, a criminal background check provides critical insight into a candidate’s history and helps protect the organization from potential liabilities.
A civil background check reveals a candidate’s history of lawsuits, judgments, and bankruptcies, helping employers assess financial responsibility and potential risk. This check ensures that candidates align with company standards and helps protect businesses from legal or reputational issues.
A county background check reviews criminal records at the county level, providing detailed information about any arrests, charges, or convictions within a specific jurisdiction. This check helps employers gain a clearer understanding of a candidate’s criminal history, ensuring informed hiring decisions and maintaining a safe work environment.
A federal background check searches for criminal activity at the federal level, including offenses such as fraud, embezzlement, drug trafficking, and immigration violations. This check provides a deeper level of insight into a candidate’s criminal history, helping employers identify any serious offenses that may impact the safety or integrity of their workplace.
A National Criminal Database search provides a broad overview of a candidate’s criminal history by checking various databases across the country. It includes information from federal, state, and county records, helping employers quickly identify any potential criminal activity. While it’s not a replacement for county-level checks, it offers a comprehensive initial screening to help ensure safer, more informed hiring decisions.
A state background check reviews criminal records at the state level, providing information on arrests, charges, and convictions within a specific state. This check helps employers assess a candidate’s criminal history and make informed hiring decisions based on state-specific laws and regulations.
An international background check verifies a candidate’s criminal history, employment, and education across multiple countries. This check helps employers assess candidates with global experience, ensuring they meet the organization’s standards for safety, trustworthiness, and compliance, regardless of their location.
A Sex Offender Registry check searches national, state, or local databases to identify whether a candidate is listed as a registered sex offender. This check helps employers ensure a safer workplace by providing critical information about a candidate’s past offenses and protecting the organization and its employees from potential risks.

This check helps businesses ensure compliance with international trade laws, prevent legal risks, and maintain ethical hiring practices by identifying individuals or organizations that may be restricted or prohibited from certain business activities.
Education embellishments on resumes are common, making independent verification crucial when education is essential for the role.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
