HireRight County Criminal Records Search Benefits
Using HireRight County Criminal Search can help reduce background screen turnaround time and provide more comprehensive results than searches conducted independently.

- Facilitate informed hiring decisions – Obtain direct-from-the-source information and be confident that every record found is evaluated to determine if it reasonably belongs to an applicant, in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA.)
- Receive more comprehensive information – Leverage HireRight’s online researchers and extensive network of in-person court research professionals to get more timely, more complete information.
