Criminal Record Checks
Why should You do a Criminal Record Check?
Hiring a new employee, or meeting that special someone for the first
time is one of the most exciting times of a business, or individual's
life. Can you put a price on truly knowing what that "someone" has
done/not done in the past.
At Asset Search Pros, our professional staff trained in FCRA compliant
screening processes, conduct criminal record checks. We steer through
the complexity of court records and documentation to provide your
company with the accurate background checks that provide the
information you need to make an informed decision.
Misdemeanors
ASP conducts a misdemeanor record search in the prospective
employee’s city of residence. A misdemeanor, in many common
law legal systems, is a "lesser" criminal act. Misdemeanors are
generally punished less severely than felonies; but theoretically more
so than administrative infractions (also known as regulatory offenses).
In the United States, the federal government generally considers a
crime punishable by a year or less in prison to be a misdemeanor.
Felonies
ASP conducts a felony record search in the prospective
employee’s county of residence. In the United States, a
felony is intended to be the higher category of criminal offenses, as
distinct from a misdemeanor, which is intended to be the less serious
category of offenses (although some states have done away with the
felony/misdemeanor classification; for example, New Jersey designates
offenses as first degree through fourth degree. A third degree offense
is punishable by six months to eighteen months in jail. Some states
also subdivide felonies into "classes", such as Class A through Class J
or Class 1 through Class 7 felonies).
ASP provides pre-employment screening services nationwide to a
wide range of companies, from small businesses to large corporations.
