Regulated hiring
Background checks for regulated roles where details matter.
Regulated hiring often requires more than a generic criminal search. Information Direct helps teams align screening scope with role risk, industry requirements, candidate location, and source-level verification.
Role-aware screening for regulated environments and client-specific requirements.
Court, MVR, OIG/SAM, drug screening, employment, education, and credit report options.
Compliance documentation and human support for sensitive or delayed searches.
Match the search to the risk
A regulated role should not be screened with a generic template. The right scope depends on the candidate duties, state law, client requirements, and the type of data the person can access.
- MVRs for driving duties and fleet access.
- OIG/SAM exclusions for healthcare and government-facing work.
- Employment credit only where legally permissible and job-related.
State and local rules matter
California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and other jurisdictions can affect timing, notices, credit checks, criminal history use, and adverse action steps.
- Confirm work location and candidate location before ordering.
- Use a consistent fair chance hiring workflow.
- Escalate edge cases for counsel review when needed.
Verification depth
Regulated positions often require direct verification from schools, employers, licensing bodies, courts, databases, or government sources. Turnaround depends on source access and response time.
- Plan 1 to 3 business days for many standard reports.
- Allow extra time for verifications, international checks, or court delays.
- Budget for possible pass-through source fees at cost.

FAQ
Common questions
Do regulated roles always need Platinum?
Not always. The right package depends on the role, location, access level, and client or legal requirements.
Can you help with international screening?
Yes. International screening is available across 190+ countries where locally permissible and is quoted by country because access fees and timelines vary.

No. These pages provide general screening information. Employers should consult counsel for role-specific FCRA, state, local, and industry obligations.
