Contractor Screening

With trends in the workplace, such as quiet quitting, the Great Resignation, and even quiet hiring, the use of a contracted workforce can drive your business growth and provide the flexibility you might need during a down economy. Contractors have their pros and cons, including increased exposure to financial, safety, and reputation risks. Comprehensive vendor and contractor background screening has a measurable return on investment, including a reduction in workplace violence, theft, and contractor fraud. In addition, many organizations have used contractor screening to help standardize compliance associated with the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) and other regulatory considerations—and to improve the overall quality of their contractors and vendors.

Vendor Screening

S2Verify Vendor Screening is a customized, web-based management tool that provides you 24/7 access to a series of comprehensive screens to verify the profile of a business and its employees against a pre-defined rules engine to determine compliance. Vendors are self-enrolled via an easy-to-navigate implementation wizard. Key demographics on employees and the business are entered for verification and an automated workflow provides you with an easy-to-read compliance dashboard to ensure compliance. Flexible billing gives you the option to absorb the screening costs or require contractors to pay for the cost of screening prior to being engaged.

Past Address History / Social Security Number Trace

This search is used to provide an applicant’s previous address history as well as potential aliases. Public record searches may also verify aspects of the Social Security Number, like the state of issue and date range of issue. This search is not a Social Security Number verification.

Our National Criminal Database covers 98% of the United States population, with 750+ million records, 6,000+ individual criminal sources, 2,400+ counties, and 4,000+ courts. The Sex Offender Registry and government watch lists are included in this search. S2Verify’s adjudication staff reviews every hit for accuracy as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The National Criminal Search is an effective start, but it is not a comprehensive search of every criminal jurisdiction in the United States. S2Verify recommends using this search in conjunction with county or statewide searches.

Intended for use if the Sex Offender Registry is the ONLY required search.

This screening searches lists of individuals or companies associated with terrorist activity.

County Criminal reports contain information regarding felony and misdemeanor convictions, arrests, and/or pending cases.

References are checked via electronic verification resources. When these resources are not available, S2Verify contacts the applicant’s previous employer. S2Verify works with each client to develop legally approved scripts for the calls and establish specific service levels regarding call attempts and timeframes.
