Our comprehensive employment criminal background checks help to take the worry out of your ultimate selection. That’s why we access millions of records to provide pre-employment criminal record background checks that help small businesses identify applicants with a relevant criminal past.

Just as importantly, you can be confident that your caregiver applicant is who they say they are with the ShareAble identity check report. This report is designed to save you time and effort by skipping the need to conduct off-line manual verifications.

As part of the process, the applicant is required to give ShareAble their name, address, date of birth and social security number. The ID report compares that personal information that the applicant provided against data in TransUnion databases to determine if these elements match.

The ID report also checks for fraud alerts to see if the applicant’s social security number may have been used improperly. Key among the fraud alerts is checking to see if your applicant’s SSN has ever been used in a death benefits claim.
