Filtration & Separations Recruiter - I-9 Compliance and What It Means
My name is Lisa Sprowls and I am a Filtration Recruiter. I work on many sales/ engineering/executive/ and management level positions serving the search and recruitment needs of both large and small manufacturers and distributors in the Filtration/Water & Wastewater/ Separations/and Environmental Industries.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
I-9 Compliance and What It Means
I once had an employer call in and ask about the services offered. When I mentioned the I-9 Compliance, his response was “I know the majority of my work force isn’t legal, why do I need to prove it”. While the answer was unexpected, it wasn’t unusual. Many employers either knowingly hire illegal aliens, or go with the policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell”. However, with the government reforms that are going on, that is going to be a choice that an employer no longer has.
The Form I-9 is a form all employers are required to use to verify employment eligibility of all employees they hire – both US workers as well as aliens. It is required by the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) to verify the identity and eligibility to work for all employees. At the time the form is completed, the employee must also provide valid, original identification. There are different forms of identity that the employee can provide.
There are a lot of different ways to do I-9 compliance, either through the Department of Homeland Security or through a background screening agency that may give you a little more guidance in getting through the system. The point is that there is no longer a choice on whether you comply with the I-9 verification. If you don’t there are going to be some very hefty fines and penalties coming your way. Effective 03/27/2008, the Federal government raised the fines approximately 25% on violations. Those penalties can include fines from $375 to $3,200 for each unauthorized alien on a first time violation, to up to $16,000 penalty for each unauthorized alien with multiple violations. These penalties are assessed on a per-alien basis. Therefore, if an employer knowingly employed, or continued to employ, five unauthorized aliens, that could result in five fines.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - What Criminal Searches should I run? - County Searches
My name is Lisa Sprowls and I am a Filtration Recruiter. I work on many sales/ engineering/executive/ and management level positions serving the search and recruitment needs of both large and small manufacturers and distributors in the Filtration/Water & Wastewater/ Separations/and Environmental Industries.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check.

All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
What Criminal Searches should I run? - County Searches
There used to be a time when you could do a criminal background check on someone in the county that they lived in and that was considered very modern and thorough. However, that may not be the case today. So, what criminal searches should you run to be as thorough as possible when doing background checks? There are several different types out there.
A county criminal search where you candidate lived over the last 7 years is a good start. A county search will have a court researcher going in to that county courthouse and providing a candidate’s name and date of birth to check for records. You as a hiring manager must be made aware that felony searches are reported at a county level, but misdemeanor crimes are not always held at a county level. Each jurisdiction that has a police department has the authority to charge someone with a crime. If that crime is considered a misdemeanor, it may never be recorded at the county court house. It may only be recorded at the local mayor’s court or court of jurisdiction for that city. You can request a misdemeanor search, but need to be aware that one county may have up to 20 different misdemeanor courts and the correct court would need to be searched to find a misdemeanor record. However, if you use a background screening company with a strong reputation, you will find that if they are doing a search at a county level and misdemeanor crimes were reported to the county level, you will also get those records.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Background Checks and the Temporary Employee
My name is Lisa Sprowls and I am a Filtration Recruiter. I work on many sales/ engineering/executive/ and management level positions serving the search and recruitment needs of both large and small manufacturers and distributors in the Filtration/Water & Wastewater/ Separations/and Environmental Industries.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Background Screening and the Temporary Employee
In an article posted on the SHRM website, they discuss screening temporary employees and share the advice that screening should not be ignored when you bring a temporary employee in to your organization. The article goes on to mention that, with the tightening labor market, temporary and contract employees are making up 10-30 percent of the average work force in US Companies.
Some employers choose not to screen their temporary or contract employees, assuming that the agency that places them are doing the screening. Some agencies do screen those employees. However, if you don’t have guidelines set up with the agency on what you will accept for screening, the agency may only be doing minimal checking – such as criminal checks in the county of residence only.
The article does continue by stating “Ultimately, it’s the responsibility of HR to ensure that those workers don’t inflict damage on the organization and its people, buildings and reputation…These people have the keys to the kingdom. Once they’re inside your building, they have access to your files and have the potential to do great harm.”
A Benchmarking survey that was conducted by a screening company found that fewer than half of companies screen their temporary labor. Industry statistics show that temporary workers are more than 50 percent more likely than full-time workers to have a felony or drug related record.
Basically you have two options. You can screen those contracted and temporary employees through your screening system, or you can communicate with the agencies and have them follow your screening protocol. If you supply them with guidelines on the level of screening you expect to be performed, they will need to comply in order to keep your business. If a staffing vendor tells you they already do background checks, this may not be much of a defense for an employer if the check is considered inadequate or ineffective. For this reason, you need to have adequate due diligence in order to head off any potential problem down the road.

What Criminal Search should I run? - Federal District Searches
A federal district search is a very comprehensive search. If a crime is reported to a county courthouse, that crime will be tried at a county level. These records will NOT be available on a Federal level. At the same time, if someone is charged with a federal crime, that crime will be tried on a federal level and not reported to a local county or state level. What are federal crimes? How about Internet crimes, some crimes against children, most any type of crime committed on federal property or against a federal employee. This is just scratching the surface and there are hundreds if not more crimes that would be reported on a federal level only.
Each state in the United States is divided in to Federal Districts. There are between one and four Federal Districts per state. It is recommended that the addresses the candidate lived at over the last 7 years be checked on a federal district level.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Criminal Records Checks on Current Employees
My name is Lisa Sprowls and I am a Filtration Recruiter.

With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Criminal Records Checks on Current Employees
You have hired “John” to work with your company. John has been there a couple of months and is doing a good job and seems to be fitting in well with his coworkers. Soon, rumors start to filter up to your location that John may have some legal troubles going on. Someone tells you that he was arrested this last weekend but doesn’t have any details for you. You do background checks on your employees with a screening firm and decide to call them to see what they can do.
There are a couple of things you need to be aware of before you start another criminal background check. The primary thing to be aware of is your release authorization. Do you use one? If you do, does it indicate on the release that you may conduct additional searches for that person during the course of their employment? If it does not, you may have to get John to sign another release, which could be very awkward for you. If your release does cover continuous background checks, the next thing you want to ask yourself is when did this reported arrest occur? If it was this last weekend, and today is Tuesday, chances are that the courts are not going to have any records of it yet. Keep in mind that a criminal records search is conducted through a court. The court is the reliable souce of information because they have the case details from arrest to conviction and sentencing. If John has only been arrested and has not been to court yet, the court isnt going to have any idea what is going on. Depending on the nature of the crime John was arrested for, the court may not have any information for up to 6 weeks after the arrest.
If you use a reliable background screening company, never hesitate to contact them and ask them your questions. Their knowledge and experience can give you some guidance where you will find the information you need.

You or your company are proactive and you have come up with hiring plans and screening plans and you are practicing the due diligence that you need to. You have decided, in the interest of saving money and better utilizing your staff, you are going to outsource the employment screening aspect of your hiring. You decide to look for a company to do your screening and are absolutely amazed what happens when you start to search.
There are reportedly over 1800 companies that offer some type or other of background screening. So how do you narrow down your search to make sure you have the right one – the one that can work in partnership with your company and keep to the same goals you have set for yourself? How do you avoid the fakes? How do you know if the one you decide upon is one that you can trust?
There are a couple of simple steps you can take to help narrow down your search. First of all, any screening agency that is going to do background screening for your pre-employment needs, is going to need to be FCRA compliant. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is the government act that outlines the responsibilities of the employer and the screening firm. If you find a screening firm that can not give you information on the FCRA or answer your questions about the FCRA, you may want to keep looking.
You may want to be leery of websites where can get instant access to all records and information just by submitting your credit card number. First, you need to figure out if the information you are getting is FCRA complaint. Can it be used for pre-employment screening? Can they tell you about the information they are selling you? Where did they get it? How is it reported? Was it followed up on? Is there a name and phone number of a real person on the website that you can call and ask these questions of?
An employment screening agency that is FCRA compliant will be happy to explain how they work, what they do, and where the information comes from. They will also ask you to sign up with an agreement for service with their company. Generally, the purpose of the agreement is to allow that screening firm to do background checks for your company, and will take the time to talk with you about your needs and what you are looking for with your employment screening.
If you partner with a reputable firm, you should never have to ask yourself the question “Can I Trust My Background Screening Company”.
