Start with the role
Begin with what the person will actually do. A driver, healthcare worker, office employee, finance manager, contractor, and executive usually need different scopes.
| Role need | Common search | Why it may apply |
|---|---|---|
| Driving duties | Motor vehicle record | License status, violations, and role-related driving risk. |
| Healthcare or federal exposure | OIG/SAM exclusions | Screening for exclusions and sanctions relevant to regulated work. |
| Credential-sensitive roles | Education or license verification | Confirm claimed degrees, credentials, or professional licenses. |
| Finance or fiduciary duties | Employment credit where permissible | Only when job-related and allowed by applicable law. |
| Senior or regulated hire | Platinum or custom package | Broader source review, verifications, and documentation support. |
Avoid over-screening
More searches are not automatically better. Keep similar roles consistent, document why each search is relevant, and review sensitive categories with counsel when needed.
When to ask support
- You are screening across multiple states or countries.
- The role includes driving, finance, healthcare, children, vulnerable populations, or government-contract work.
- You need a custom screening matrix for multiple departments.
