With our Crystal Screening address verification services you can easily verify if any national or international postal address is valid and really exists. Crystal reports criminal information found in police records maintained by local law enforcement agencies and/or Central Criminal Justice Agencies as it conforms to local data privacy regulations, statutory provisions regulating legal employment access and your criteria. Information held by these agencies is generally obtained through the applicant themselves via “Subject Access Request.” Information retrieval requirements, process and timetables will vary by country. In most cases information maintained in these files provides arrest record data with very little adjudicative findings. A manual search may be required at the local precinct level. Searches that come back with a record associated with an applicant may require additional efforts to determine the adjudicative outcome from the relevant court.
Reference Checks are a valuable tool for screening candidates; however, conducting proper reference checks can be very time consuming and difficult for Hiring Managers. As a neutral third party, Crystal has people ready to make and take calls. We have no bias from having met your candidate in person – our only focus is getting you high quality, detailed information.
Global Database is a database of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and heightened risk individuals and
organizations is used around the world to help to identify and manage financial, regulatory and reputational
risk. The creation of the database was in response to legislation aimed at reducing the incidence of financial crimes.
To begin with, World-Check’s intelligence was used by banks and financial institutions as a comprehensive
solution for assessing, managing and remediating risk. However, as legislation has become increasingly
complex and its reach has become increasingly global, the demand for such intelligence has grown beyond the
financial sector to include organizations from all sectors.
We monitor over 530 sanction, criminal watch list, EPLS, OIG, Judis, SAM and regulatory law and enforcement
lists along with hundreds of thousands of information sources, often identifying heightened-risk entities
months or years before they are listed. In 2012 alone, we identified more than 180 entities before they
appeared on the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list based on reputable sources
identifying relevant risks.
Information is collated from an extensive network of hundreds of thousands of reputable sources, including:
530+ sanction, criminal watch list, EPLS, OIG, Judis, SAM, regulatory and law enforcement lists
Local and international government records
Country specific data sources
nternational adverse electronic and physical media searches
English and foreign language data sources Relevant industry sources
An identity check can help to provide you with information you can use to be more
confident about who exactly it is you are hiring and whether your applicant is being honest
with the most basic of personal information. If a potential employee is misrepresenting his
or her identity, about what else could they be misleading you?
An identity check can also be a foundational part of a more comprehensive background
check, providing essential information needed to move forward with more extensive searches.
Global passport verifications can be performed for applicants who don’t have a U.S. SSN
or in other countries of the world.
Verification of government-issued identification cards in many non-U.S. countries.
The Fraud and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) is a proprietary database that
consists of publically available records of sanctions and adverse actions taken in the
healthcare field. Frequently, companies or organizations in this industry will include a Fraud
and Abuse Control Information System (FACIS) screen as part of their background check, to
ensure compliance with state and federal regulations on hiring.
In support of creating an employment background screening program tailored to your
needs, Crystal Screening offers employers four different FACIS options from which to choose:
FACIS 1: The most basic level of FACIS, this search meets the federal requirements outlined in the Office of Inspector General Compliance Program Guidance. The FACIS 1 search includes search of the federal Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) maintained by the General Service Administration, the List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (LEIE) maintained by the Office of the Inspector General.
FACIS M: This search includes information contained in the FACIS Level 1 search, as well as state specific Medicare and Medicaid data where available.
FACIS 3: The FACIS Level 3 search includes information contained in the FACIS Level 1, M & 2 searches plus records contained in the database for all state sources.
Fingerprinting is the only biometric based background check that provide “positive”
identification against government agency criminal history data bases to ensure that an
individual is who they say they are.
Fingerprint-based criminal history checks may disclose unreported arrests and convictions
that may not appear on an individual when using a name based background checks. In
addition, fingerprint-based background checks may provide and “update” or “change” in
criminal record based on State Statute, while a name based check is an isolated “one time”
transaction that will never provide an update based on change of criminal history status.
In all cases, an individual has the right to the results of their Criminal History Record
Information (CHRI), whether submitted on their own to a State or the Federal Repository, or
by an authorized agency under state and federal statutes
Civil litigation is defined as the legal dispute between two or more persons which are seeking monetary compensation for damages occurred. This is a non-criminal process and encompasses a variety of disputes such as landlord/tenant issues, environmental law, medical malpractice, real estate, education law, workers compensation, person liability, construction, employment and labor, and intellectual property. Specific attorneys who specialize in civil litigation are know as “trial lawyers” or “litigators” and represent parties in mediations, arbitrations, hearings, and trials.
Credit check is an invaluable part of the screening process. Understanding a candidate’s
background can help to mitigate the risks posed to your business by individuals under
financial strain.
The Crystal Adverse Financial Check gives you the peace of mind that your candidates have
no history of financial mismanagement. This is of vital importance if you are recruiting for a
role that involves the handling of money, accounts or sensitive data. Through screening your
candidates, a thorough pre employment credit check from Crystal is a first line of defence
for your business’s integrity, reputation and security.
