SSN Name Match is Finally Here!

By Patrick K. Collard – Managing Member & Corporate Investigator 1-888-GOBACK-1 ext. 83 | patrickc@GObackgrounds.com GObackgrounds.com is pleased to offer SSN Name Match to its already extensive product list.  This product is different than a SSN Trace, because it officially matches the applicant’s name, SSN, DOB and gender directly from the Social Security Administration (SSA).  It also cross-references this information with the Death Master Index (DMI) to insure the SSN is not that of a deceased person, adding yet another layer of protection from identity thieves. The SSN Name Match uses a Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (CBSV) process with a web-based platform that returns your results faster and more accurately than our competitors who are merely faxing your request to the SSA. SSN Name Match is available today for $15.00 with a 24 hour turnaround time.  See http://www.GObackgrounds.com/pricing.htm for details.

As a CRA we have a dutiful obligation to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and may redact information that may be unlawful for you to consider when making a hiring decision.  For example, arrests, pending or dismissed cases should not appear in the final background check (...)

Background Checks are for Every Year, Not Just When Hired.

By Patrick K. Collard – Managing Member & Corporate Investigator 1-888-GOBACK-1 ext. 83 | patrickc@GObackgrounds.com Conducting an employment background check at the beginning of employment is routine, but far too many companies neglect to run background checks while the employee works at their company.  A lot of companies take the posture of “one-and-done” with their background check policy.  What that means is the person you hired 5 years ago had a background check done on them, yes, 5 years ago! A lot can happen in 1 year let alone 5 years.  In just a 12 month period your (...)

How does your credit report effect your ability to gain employment?

By Patrick K. Collard – Managing Member & Corporate Investigator 1-888-GOBACK-1 ext. 83 | patrickc@GObackgrounds.com Would you want to hire an applicant for a CFO position that has a horrible credit report?  Of course not, and neither would any employer.  Clearly a company is well within their rights to secure a credit report on a person seeking a financial position.  A CFO is the gatekeeper to the company’s financials.  How this applicant runs their own finances has direct impact on how they may run a company’s financials.  The credit report is germane to the position the person is (...)
