Pre screening allows for a safe and profitable workplace and will significantly reduce the risk of a bad hire.
There are several reasons why employers should pre screen:

• Pre employment screening discourages applicants from hiding something negative about their past
• Pre employment screening encourages honesty during the application and interview process
• Pre employment screening shows Due Diligence and provides the employer legal protection
• Pre employment screening keeps criminals, imposters and terrorists out of your workplace

Lawsuits against business owners due to workplace violence incidents average 1 million in damages. In Colorado recently, a jury awarded $210,000 in a sexual assault case where the jury found that the employer could have learned of an employee's past molestation conviction if a background check had been conducted. Also, the Wall Street Journal reports that 34% of all applications include lies and a study conducted at the University of Florida reports that employee theft accounts for as much as 48% of a retail company's shrinkage. Also consider the expenses involved in hiring and training new employees because your pre employment screening background check process was poor and you have enough reasons.

Being a landlord or property owner brings with it the potential for serious risk, liability and consequences at a time when the scales of justice seem tipped in favor of the delinquent or "bad" tenant.

The fact is that the average applicant typically provides far less information about themselves than what the landlord requires to make an informed decision as to rent worthiness.  OmniTrace will get that information for you.

Our tenant screening service provides comprehensive and convenient tenant screening that includes credit reports, criminal reports, eviction searches and more.

While there are other qualified background screening companies, most make the process very complicated. They offer elaborate web sites and provide confusing advice about their products and legal requirements. Often, they don't even allow the opportunity to speak with a qualified person.

With OmniTrace, our qualified search consultants want to speak with you. That is one of the things that make our company special. We understand how important it is to review your particular needs and provide you with expert advice and customized service that you deserve.

Our pre employment screening and tenant background reports are easy to read and understand.

The cost of a pre employment screen represents a fraction of the cost of terminating an individual, re-recruiting, or defending against a lawsuit brought on by a person's actions. Not to mention that a background check will lead to a better work environment by screening out less desirable employees and far less employee turnover.

The cost of a tenant screen also represents a fraction of the costs and time incurred when you have rented to a "bad" tenant.

That depends on what you require. As an example, an entry-level employee might require a less extensive check than an upper level management applicant. Also, to be fair, different businesses have different budgets and we try to work within those constraints by providing a customized program.

Overall, a pre employment screening is typically less than the cost of a new employee on just the first day of employment. This is so inexpensive compared to damages that a bad hire can cause.

We offer very affordable flat rate fees that are customized for landlords and property owners with few to many tenants.  Call or write us now for more information.

Our easy-to-understand, highlighted reports are normally provided within three working days. If there is negative information, OmniTrace will provide policy notes on accepted industry standards on the use of that data.

If information is delayed, such as when a court clerk needs more time to pull a court record, we will send our client a written report containing all other results. The report will provide the reason for the delay and indicate when the remaining information is expected.

There are several reasons why some information can be delayed:

• A court clerk needs to obtain a file
• A former employer will not return calls or is no longer in business
• When a school has closed or is on break, education verification may have to be done by mail
• Driver's license information can be delayed in some states

Pre employment and tenant screening requires specialized abilities and resources. It is very time consuming. Even firms with fully staffed Human Resource Departments find that out-sourcing is much more time and cost effective.

OmniTrace complies fully with applicable legal standards. It is actually easy to remain compliant if you use the correct forms and procedures. OmniTrace will assist you to:

• Provide applicants with report copies
• Provide applicants of consumer rights
• Provide applicants with notices of adverse action when requested by an employer as required by the FCRA.

Of primary importance is the Fair Credit Reporting Act (www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcra.htm), which is the main statute governing pre employment screening activity. The Equal Employment Opportunity laws (www.eeoc.gov) also come into play when determining how information can be gathered and used.
