02

Verification of reported employers, positions, and dates when information is available from the source.

How Screening Works

A guided process from request to results

For employment screening, the employer must have a lawful, job-related purpose and complete applicable disclosure, authorization, and decision procedures. GOS helps coordinate the screening order and report process.

Important: Database searches are not the same as direct courthouse or source verification, and no background report can guarantee a person’s suitability. Results, coverage, price, and turnaround depend on the jurisdictions, record sources, package, candidate history, and third-party response times. Employers are responsible for FCRA and other applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including adverse-action procedures. GOS does not provide legal advice.
