First Advantage Announces New Solution In Response To Eeoc Guidance Update

May 21, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

If you're like most researchers, pre-employment screening companies, and end users, you have a problem you don't know you even have.

If you are like the majority; and what has been the status quo for many years, you are probably searching records or receiving results from the Puerto Rico Police. We know the Web Site (verificacion de antecedentes penales) for searching results is free. You’re probably using it. You might be paying a third party to access it.

It doesn't matter to us how you are getting it, or who you are paying to get it; you’ve got a problem. Here’s how we know:

We conducted a study of 795 names that we sent to the Puerto Rico Police for Police Clearance Certificates., the same search you can now do online for free. We submitted Name, DOB, and SSN. We received back from the police 143 names that had records. That’s pretty impressive, though we did salt a few records in the survey. But our story doesn't end there.

We sent the same names to the court (Name, DOB, and SSN) and what we got back in results was shocking! Out of the same 795 names we received back 240 names that had records. That meant that the police records missed 97 names!

We thought, Wow –the courts really are the way to go. But it doesn't stop there.

The police, out of the 143 records they returned to us, had 7 names they returned with records that the courts missed! Now we had a double conundrum. Neither search was 100%. And we had the results to prove it.

Wait, it got even worse. We ran the names on the Sex Offender List and found 1 case where both the police and the court had cleared the individual. The court said that the case was sealed, so they returned it clear. We can't tell you the police’s excuse but imagine hiring that person!

So that is your problem. Either way you do it, you would miss records. One way or the other you put lives of innocent people and co-workers in jeopardy.

There is a solution. We have combined multiple searches, 4 of them, into one search result You get the police clearance. You get the court search. You get the sex offender. At a price that not only can you afford, but a service you can not afford to pass up.

We know there’s a problem . We've added up the results. We have the solution.
