As Fast As Court Redacts, Straightline International Offers Kane County Case Identifications
Beginning May 21st, Straightline International will begin offering inexpensive look-ups for identifiers in cases found on Kane County, IL's Web Site that have had them redacted.
"Redaction poses a serious effect on the bottom line of pre-employment screening businesses", adds Steven Brownstein, President of Straightline International.
"Costs have soared in our industry the last several years", Brownstein continues,"Online searches were the one place we could control them. Now, with redaction, as in Kane County, we're back to manually searching court files to see if the identifiers oo the applicant match those found in the case file."
"Of course, we'll survive, replies Brownstein to the question what happens next. "So what we've done here at Straightline is not penalize the background screening company for clearing those names they found online without a hit. We've gone ahead and added an extra service where for pennies per case we'll inspect and report back confirmations when found matching those submitted to us. The client just has to send us the name, identifiers they have, and case #'s they want searched. It should just take a day or two depending on the court's schedule of access to files."
It sounds like Steven Brownstein has the right idea and Straightline International's remarkable research team in Northern illinois to do the job.
What remains to be seen is if the pre-employment screening companies will pay to get the information as it's been given freely for so long.
