What Is The Weakness In Criminal Records Usage By Pre-Employment Screening Companies?
December 14, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein
The world of criminal records is not very complex.
A person is accused, arrested, processed through a system (of some sort).
And in most places a written record is kept on the actions taken by the authorities.
Every type of criminal record is available somewhere. Maybe not to you or me, but somewhere.
While police records might not be available, court records are. Where court records might not be available, police clearance certificates may.
Certainly there is more than one way to find something out. Sometimes there are many ways to find something out.
What is the best way?
The best way is to do something every way possible. No exception. Every record, Every way. Over and over again.
Combine the results into one report. Call it a super report.
For example, Straightline International has a search called the Puerto Rico XR2.
It is everything. Every record. Every way. No exception. In Puerto Rico.
And over and over again it has been shown that they are getting 'hits,' that is, criminal records, while other criminal record retrievers aren't.
So why is it that some users of criminal records are content with records knowing they are not complete?
Again, the world of criminal records is not very complex.
But human nature is.
