ENSURE YOU’RE HIRING THE RIGHT EMPLOYEES

A criminal history check helps to ensure that you’re hiring the right employee and creating a safe working environment. In addition, including this search on your background check will reduce risks, protect your organizations’ assets and reputation, reduce on-the-job incidents, and prevent lawsuits, fines, and fees.

By providing employers with the knowledge of an applicant's criminal history, they can make a more informed and safer hiring decision. A criminal history check reveals detailed information regarding an individual’s county, state, and federal criminal history. Each record varies by the type of information it searches for and the results that are returned.

Each year Abante fulfills millions of background check items through our system. As an industry leading background check provider, we ensure our customers' workplaces are safer, and their hiring decisions are made with the most accurate and impactful information available.

COUNTY BACKGROUND CHECKS

County background checks, or county criminal history search results, include information about criminal cases filed only in the county ordered. This is where you’ll find the most up-to-date case information as counties are where criminal cases begin. Depending on the county, reports may not have a quick turnaround time, which can cause delays with the reporting process

Results include:

Case number
Offense type
Date of offense
Disposition date/specifics
Sentence
Confirmation of the current disposition

STATE BACKGROUND CHECKS

State background checks, or statewide criminal history search results, include information as reported to a state by counties within the state. Results may include case number, offense type, date of offense, disposition date/specifics, and confirmation of the current disposition. Results will not include cases reported on the County Criminal Record Search (if ordered by the client). Not all states have a statewide criminal record repository that is accessible to Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) like Abante

FEDERAL BACKGROUND CHECKS

Federal background checks, or federal criminal history search results, include criminal court record information that can be accessed via one or more of the 94 U.S. Federal District courts across the United States. These searches are conducted online at Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) which is a Federal government website that’s updated in real-time.

Results that reveal violations of federal law include:

Drug trafficking
Money laundering
Counterfeiting
Racketeering
Crimes committed across state lines

*This is not a nationwide search of state court record

GRADING SCALE

When conducting criminal history checks, Abante uses a grading scale ranging from 0 to 7 with each number corresponding to a category of offenses as it pertains to consortium (site access) background orders. This grade will only be known by the employee, his or her employer, and the TPA performing the background screen. Background screen grade definitions are as follows:

0 - Clear record, nothing was found.

1 - One or more non-violent misdemeanors were found. This includes any misdemeanor not shown on the list of violent misdemeanors.

2 - One or more “violent misdemeanors” were found.

3 - One or more “lesser felonies” were found. This includes any felony not shown on the list of higher felonies (05).

4 - One or more “violent misdemeanors” and one or more “lesser felonies” were found.

5 - One or more “higher felonies” were found.

6 - One or more “higher felonies” and one or more “violent misdemeanors” were found.

7 - The person was found to be on the current Patriot Act List (specially designated nationals, terrorists, narcotics traffickers, blocked persons, etc.).
