All employees should be screened regardless of position or size and type of company.- Over 60% of applicants have bad credit history, a criminal past, bad driving history or falsified information on their application.

- $150 Billion lost annually because of workplace fraud and theft

| Types of Data | |||
| Type | Description & Products | ||
| Address History |
Often the first report that is pulled when doing a background check. These types of reports give a complete address history of where the applicant has lived. This information is critical when ordering manual court searches. Some reports also list the county for each address.

| Credit Reports |
Data on credit reports can be used to verify
applicant information, research address history and determine how
responsible an individual is with employment,
tradeline,
collection, public record, child support history and inquiry information. |
||
| Criminal Database Searches |
Hiring an employee based solely on an application or firsthand perception is not only misguided but dangerous. It is important to go beyond verification and screen for a criminal past. Amer-Info offers access to 3 National criminal databases. |
||
| Manual Criminal Court Searches |
When doing background screening not all criminal records are reported to the national database repositories. To do a complete criminal check you must send court researchers to the county courts. Also if you do get a hit from a national database search, you need to verify that the information is correct and was not expunged. |

Driving History & Registration |
If transportation is a part of an individual's job description, checking an applicant's driving records can prevent costly negligent hiring litigation. |
