Screening Solutions
We offer a number of screening solutions specifically designed for the retail industry.

Depending on the position and hiring practices, some of the recommended services include:
- Criminal History Checks at the county, state, and/or federal level
- National Criminal File Search to supplement the physical county search (includes Sex Offender Registry checks)
- Credit Reports to ensure financial responsibility
- Social Security Validation to ensure the identity of the potential employee
- Employment Verification and Education Verification to ensure information provided is accurate
- And more
Annual employee re-screen
Perform a “never-ending” background check on your existing employees using the GIS annual rescreen. Clients can now find out any negative employee incidents that occur post-hire. Get instant access to criminal records from the KwikScreen database, the industry’s largest and most up-to-date criminal file. KwikScreen holds over 300 million criminal, sex offender (with photos), and national terrorist records that are updated on a non-stop basis.
NRMA Retail Theft Database
NRMA offers an employee screening tool that goes beyond traditional background checks to deter the hiring of potentially dishonest retail employees. In fact, only five percent of the individuals located in NRMA have criminal records that may show up on a traditional search since most violators are never brought up on criminal conviction charges. NRMA is our proprietary nationwide, retail-only theft database designed to stem the tide of inventory loss where it is most frequent – among employees who work with your merchandise every day. NRMA enforces procedures that meet or exceed safeguards mandated by the FCRA.
