Have you every heard of SmartHire by USAFact?

No?  It might be because we are better at providing background checks than we are about bragging about ourselves.  Maybe it’s time we should brag a little. We offer something that no other Consumer Reporting Agency can, it’s called secure check. Secure check is our proprietary internal process that ensures our clients receive the fastest, most accurate, and cost-effective background screening reports available today.  It also means that USAFact or any of our clients have NEVER had a successful lawsuit against them related to background checks.

How We Ensure Background Check Accuracy– Secure Check

USAFACT is an anomaly. With 50 years of experience and more than 50 million background checks completed, our clients have spent ZERO days in court in defense of their hiring or lending decisions using our reports. We also return 85% of background check components in the same day and our completed reports average 1.8 Days. 

The background check industry is competitive and fast-paced. It’s a monumental task for many companies to understand all of the federal and local laws that govern background checks.  Most companies are unaware that the ultimate responsibility of compliance falls upon the hiring company, not the CRA.  Choosing the right background screening partner is crucial!

We are proud to say that this commitment to accuracy has allowed us to avoid the onslaught of lawsuits related to negligent hiring.  In the last 10 years, many companies are facing lawsuits from the job candidates for not being hired due to inaccuracies related to their background report.  In fact, according to a CBS News Report, over the last decade, employers and background check companies have shelled out more than $325 million to settle related litigation.

Today, we’re going to let you in on one of our best kept secrets. Secure Check.  This is our proprietary process developed over five decades in the background check business.  Just how are we able to consistently produce results that are timely and accurate? Why is it that our services are never entangled in expensive lawsuits? What do we do that protects our clients and keeps us away from litigation?

Simply put – we owe it to our SmartHire platform and our secure check process.

Secure check is a proprietary way that we make sure our background screens are correct.

Why is this a Big Deal?

No other company has SmartHire or our secure check and this has kept us and our clients out of court for 50 years! Background checks have evolved into a mainstream part of our lives. From housing applications for a new apartment to employment opportunities for that dream job, you can rest assured that a background check will be included in some way.

While the act of performing a background check is standard, there are several reasons why ensuring it is done properly is vital.

Let’s explore some of the reasons:

  • Sensitive information: From social security numbers to bank account information, a background check includes data that can be used to ruin someone’s life if it gets in the wrong hands. Secure check prevents data leaks and keeps important information confidential.
  • Hiring decisions: Choosing the wrong candidate is one thing. However, hiring someone who lied about everything on their application and places your company and your employees in jeopardy is another. We have the staff in place with our system to ensure that you have all the information needed to make the right choice.
  • Speed and Reliability: Time is money. When you need to view the results of your background check fast, companies can overlook things under pressure. Our secure check gives you the best of both worlds – speed and reliability.
