Continuous Criminal Check
Reduce risk by addressing gaps in candidate knowledge post-onboarding
Running background checks on candidates during the onboarding process is a great way for you to gain visibility into their past and establish trust before they begin working. But as time passes from the initial check, your knowledge drops off significantly, increasing risk for your business.
Mitigate risk
Continuous criminal checks run in the background, and notify you of any reportable changes to an individual’s record. Real-time notifications allow you to take immediate action when an individual’s background check data changes. This enables you to minimize risk across your platform—keeping customers safe and potentially lowering your insurance costs.
Maintain brand trust
Reducing the knowledge gap between pre-hire background checks and future background check reruns proves that you take your customers’ safety seriously and helps to maintain the trust that they’ve placed in your company.
How it works
Checkr leverages six key data sources to power continuous criminal checks
- Arrest Records
Direct data integrations with prisons and holding cells across the US provide near real-time arrest records as pointer searches. If new arrests are detected, they are verified at the county level before being reported. - Checkr proprietary data
Individuals are monitored against Checkr’s live feed of background check data. If a change is detected in an individual’s data from another report on the same individual, a new search is executed and reported to you. - Electronic county search
Provided that an individual has a current address within a county with electronic records, individuals are searched every 30 days to identify any new criminal records. - Global watchlist search
Every 30 days, individuals are searched to identify whether they’ve been added to a domestic and/or international watchlist. - National criminal database
Individuals are searched across this pointer database every 30 days to identify potential records. Any new records will be verified through an additional county search. - Sex offender search
Every 30 days, individuals are searched across all public sex offender registries nationwide.
