Extensive Employment Background Check—Platinum Package

Yes, all background checks are initiated through an electronic waiver. We send an email and/or text to the individual being screened, containing the waiver for them to electronically sign. This process ensures that we have proper consent before conducting the background check.

The duration of a background check can vary depending on the specific state or county being investigated. The process is influenced by the ease and efficiency with which court records can be accessed in each jurisdiction. In some states, Health Street's court runners can obtain statewide repository records on the same day they are requested. However, certain states require manual searches of county court records, which can result in longer processing times ranging from several days to, in exceptional cases, a week or more. The timeframe is contingent upon the requirements and practices established by each state or county in performing background checks.

The background checks offered by Health Street search different databases and records to create a report on certain information relating to a person. In this case, our Platinum Background Package combines our Triple Database with a comprehensive, actual court records search. This is the best possible protection for your company, your employees, and your customers.

All of Health Street's employment background checks require a signed agreement (only needs to be signed one time) and a signed waiver for each individual being screened. This is done completely electronically via Health Street's proprietary e-sign methodology. All background check reports and drug test results are posted to a secure online portal. You'll be provided a password once you register for testing.

For this extensive background check package, we'll take the following 5 steps process. First, we search the Court Record Repository in the location the person currently lives, as determined by their driver's license. Second, we conduct a Social Security Number Trace, which verifies that a listed social security number belongs to the screened individual and is neither fake nor erroneous. Third, the SS Trace also informs us if the person had other addresses in the past seven years. If so, we recommend to you that court records in those locations be searched as well. Fourth, we run 3 additional database searches: terrorism registry, sex-offender registry, and national criminal index. And finally, if something comes up in the database research, we may also recommend another jurisdiction to search court records.

Drug testing is not automatically included in this package. At checkout, a variety of different drug tests can be added for an even more comprehensive background check package.

Performing a background check for job candidates is critical to mitigating risks, especially for positions that deal with sensitive data or finances. Our background check services can help you determine if a candidate is trustworthy for the role.

Yes. Each person who is being screened will need to sign a waiver. Health Street makes the waivers easily available electronically so that this process takes the least amount of time.

When you add this full background check package to the cart, you will see that there are nominal fees which vary by state. If you need to add more than one state, we'll contact you for those additional fees. Of course, you will not need to re-purchase the whole package if additional state fees apply.
