What is Adverse Action in Pre-employment Screening?
What is Adverse Action?
Section 603(k)(1) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) states that an adverse action is “a denial of employment or any other decision for employment purposes that adversely affects any current or prospective employee.” These decisions include not hiring, not retaining or not promoting an individual.
What does this mean for my company?
If your company uses a consumer report/investigative consumer report in whole or in part to deny someone employment or promotion, you are obligated under the FCRA to provide both Pre-Adverse and Adverse Action Disclosures to those applicants/employees.
What is a Pre-Adverse Action Disclosure?
The disclosure must contain information stating that an adverse employment action will be taken, a copy of the consumer report/investigative report, and a summary of the applicant’s/employee’s rights. The disclosure must also include the consumer reporting agency’s name and contact information. Once the applicant/employee receives the disclosure, he or she must be given sufficient time to dispute the information.
What is an Adverse Action Disclosure?
The Adverse Action Disclosure contains wording similar in nature to the Pre-Adverse Action Disclosure and must be done in a reasonable amount of time after the Pre-Adverse Action Disclosure. The disclosure informs the applicant/employee of the final decision made by your company in not hiring, not retaining or not promoting an individual.
Do I need to do both the Pre-Adverse Action and the Adverse Action Disclosures?
Yes. Both are required under the FCRA.
Where can I get samples of these disclosures?
You may either contact our office at 800-991-9694 or click here for samples of the Pre-Adverse and Adverse Action Disclosures. (will link to our pre-adverse/adverse action letters)

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - What Criminal Search should I run? - Database 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. 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.
What Criminal Search should I run? - Database Searches
Today when an employer decides to start doing background checks on their job candidates, the most common search that is requested is the criminal background check. The employer may go on line and type in “criminal background checks” in the search engine of their choice. Then sit back and try and weed out one particular company or option from the 240,000+ matches to their search request.
Before choosing someone to do the background check for you, an employer needs to be aware of few things. If you are offered an “instant, nationwide criminal background check” for only “$19.95” you should be a little hesitant. Remember the old adage “if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is”. A lot of the “instant, nationwide” criminal searches are database searches. Database searches have their place and can be useful, but if a background screening company does an “instant database” search for you, they should also be letting you know that that database search needs to be backed up. Databases are just that – a database. You will find a large number of users putting information in to that database. However, it is not always updated on a regular basis. Someone may have been charged with a crime in “Whoville” and that crime will be listed, however what it does not tell you is the case was either dismissed or dropped to a misdemeanor. In order to get that information someone needs to go to the “Whoville” court and look up the court dockets. If you base a hiring decision on what you found in “Whoville” and choose not to hire someone based on that crime, you may find yourself facing a few problems. Also “nationwide” database searches aren’t really nationwide. Sure, you will probably get something from every state, however you will NOT get everything from every state. You may find that one county in a particular state is on the search, or one state run prison from another state is on the list. In that way, it can be listed as nationwide because you are getting something from every state. However, the search is not as thorough as you think. Be very careful with this type of search and be sure to read the fine print on what exactly the information is that you will be getting.

With the diverse ethnicity of today’s workforce, frequently a company will hire candidates who lived and worked overseas. Many also received their education oversees, including college degrees. A reputable background screening company will be able to complete a background check for you for a job candidate that lived, worked, and was educated in a foreign company. One thing to keep in mind however, are the cultural and societal diversities within that country. If you were to call your background screening company and ask them to verify a high school diploma for someone from 1970 in North Korea, chances of getting a verification are slim to none. Also, in Hispanic societies you will be asked to provide a mother’s maiden name. The Hispanic culture is a matriarchal society which means that everything involving school records is going to be verified using a mother’s maiden name.
If you work with a strong and reliable background screening firm, they will know these differences and be able to help you obtain the information you need to make a hiring decision.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Exit Interviews
My name is Lisa Sprowls and I am a Filtration Recruiter.

Exit Interviews
Exit interviews can be a valuable tool for a company to use. Generally exit interviews are conducted with an employee who is leaving the company on a voluntary basis, rather than being laid off or fired. Exit interviews can be as extensive as the employer wants, keeping in mind that the employee may not desire to answer all the questions if there are a lot of them.
Exit interviews are generally conducted and the information is used to assist the Human Resources department in improving existing working conditions for current employees, and for retaining those employees. Your company can learn from the past experiences of the department employees and gain an opportunity to improve management/employment practices accordingly. Effective Employee Exit Interviews are an opportunity to diagnose and improve performance within the company. A “backdoor” reason to do an exit interview may be to find out if there is any costly litigation down the road caused by a disgruntled employee.
Employee turnover is costly and is widely recognized as a key organizational concern. Doing an exit interview will allow you to analyze the data to determine if employee satisfaction is an impact to your turnover. It will also allow you to track trends in satisfaction to measure the improvements that were made. Exit interviews can be a valuable tool that is often overlooked in employment screening, but should be considered by an employer.

Diploma Mills or Degree Mills
Wikipedia describes a diploma mill or degree mill as “an organization that awards academic degrees and diplomas with substandard or no academic study, and without recognition by official accrediting bodies. These degrees are often awarded based on life experience”. Many of these diploma mills will also have it set up where you can call in to the “school” and receive the verification from the school.
A solid reputable background screening company will generally be able to tell you that a school diploma presented by your applicant is one that has come from a recognized agency or comes from a school that is not nationally recognized. In today’s society, the emphasis for the worker is to be better educated than those who may be competing for the same job. Many people either don’t have the time or the funds to invest in the degree process and find that doing the diploma mill degree is a better option for them. There are estimates that up to 40% of today’s job candidates are untruthful on their resume about their education.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Why Should I Hire a Company to do Background Checks
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.
Why Should I Hire a Company to do Background Checks
An employer can do their own background checks on potential new hires. There is no law anywhere that states they must use a third party service. However, before you decide to tackle the project in house, you do need to ask yourself and your HR Manager a few questions regarding legal issues, as well as other questions. Is your HR Manger familiar with the large amount of legislation that covers background screening? Are they familiar with the the guidelines that must be adhered to under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)? As far as legal questions that can be asked, does your HR Manager know what to do with arrest records, sealed records or deferred adjudication records? Are they familiar with which states have a 7 year limit for reporting criminal records unless wage is a consideration? What states require that an applicant be given a copy of a background screening report, whether they ask for a copy of it or not? Are you a national employer? Do you or the HR Manager know the laws of each state regarding employment screening in order to be FCRA Compliant?
These questions barely scratch the surface. The time commitment necessary by your staff to learn all that needs to be learned in order to stay complaint may very well be cost prohibitive. If that is the case, you may be better off bringing in a third party employment screening service to your team. Be sure to work with one that has a solid reputation and that can answer all your questions.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Online Free Database 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. 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.
Online Free Database Searches
Lately, it seems like there are a plethora of television commercials, news paper adds, and spam email talking about “Do you know who (your neighbors, your coworkers, your friends, etc) really are”. Generally, at this point they give you information on how to do a free criminal background check on someone. I have even gone to them from my home computer, just out of curiosity.
You enter as much information as you have on someone in to an online database. You will get a listing of names and sometimes you get dates of birth and addresses along with a listing of crimes that person committed. There are other databases that you can program in your address and find out where all the felons and/or sex offenders live in your neighborhood. Fascinating, isn’t it? I have always believed that you need to be very aware of your surroundings and be proactive in your own self protection. These types of database searches should be perfect so that I can figure out who has the potential of coming in to contact with children while in our yard, walking to school, or even playing in the school yard. So, I decided to plug in some information on this one particular website (our local grade schools address) to see what issues are going on in our neighborhood.
In my particular neighborhood, there is an ethic male with a history of sex crimes against children and, by the date of birth provided, he was in his mid-thirties. He is reported to be a registered sex offender. Probably the most startling part of the search is that they showed him living at my address. My home is a single family home, not an apartment. I do not have an apartment complex near my home. My family is also not an ethnic family and we are not in our mid-thirties. At first, it was a little amusing, until I wondered how many of my neighbors have also accessed this website and seen the same information. Would they suspect my 50 something year old non-ethnic husband is the same person? I tried to contact the website and let them know that they have something terribly wrong here. What I was told was that this was a public database and the information was drawn from sources all over. I could write a letter to the people that run the website but I would need to know who the source of the information was and then contest the information with that website as the original source. Chances are it would take quite a long time to get this cleared up since it was a public access database. By a long time, they are talking months if not a year or more. At this time, I can only hope that my neighbors have some common sense here and take the discrepancies to heart.
Online databases and free database searches can be dangerous! They do not meet FCRA Compliances. The records found on these sites may be outdated or have incorrect information. Any record that you find through one of these “free searches” should always, always be verified through a court. The crimes also listed on these website may not be specific and you can get more information if you give them a credit card number and get the details. Again, these database searches are not Fair Credit Reporting Act Complaint and you need to be extremely careful if you choose to use this information in a hiring decision.

Online Free Database Searches
Lately, it seems like there are a plethora of television commercials, news paper adds, and spam email talking about “Do you know who (your neighbors, your coworkers, your friends, etc) really are”. Generally, at this point they give you information on how to do a free criminal background check on someone. I have even gone to them from my home computer, just out of curiosity.
You enter as much information as you have on someone in to an online database. You will get a listing of names and sometimes you get dates of birth and addresses along with a listing of crimes that person committed. There are other databases that you can program in your address and find out where all the felons and/or sex offenders live in your neighborhood. Fascinating, isn’t it? I have always believed that you need to be very aware of your surroundings and be proactive in your own self protection. These types of database searches should be perfect so that I can figure out who has the potential of coming in to contact with children while in our yard, walking to school, or even playing in the school yard.
