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.

Most felony and misdemeanor criminal court cases are tried in county (or borough or parish) trial courts, so searching local courts can be essential in determining criminal background. Other benefits include:

  • 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.
  • Control search depth – Get the actionable information your organization requires by pre-selecting the number of years to search.
