Smart Screen™ - TalentCheck

Streamline hiring decisions with a new solution that may be used as a first step in the criminal background check process.

Simplify Your Background Check Process

Criminal background checks can be time-consuming, complex processes. They can prevent on-site hiring and create delayed start dates for candidates with no history of criminal risk.  Smart Screen™ - TalentCheck helps employers speed up their criminal background checks. 

With a simple social security number input, Smart Screen instantly checks two robust data networks for incarceration and sex offender registry records. The solution returns a "no incarceration or sex offender records found" result for candidates who have no associated records in the networks. This can potentially reduce the manual research, time, and effort involved with traditional background screening processes.

The "no incarceration or sex offender records found" response is a consumer report and is governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It may only be used for an FCRA permissible purpose. If the consumer report ‘no records found’ result is not available, you will receive a notification indicating more research is needed. This indication may be provided for various reasons. It is not a consumer report and may not be used for a permissible purpose.
