VerifAI's employment credit check provides a modified credit report designed specifically for hiring decisions. Assess financial responsibility for roles involving money, sensitive data, or fiduciary duties — without impacting the candidate's credit score.
An employment credit check is a modified version of a consumer credit report used specifically for hiring decisions. Unlike consumer credit reports, employment credit reports do not include credit scores — they show credit accounts, payment history, public records (bankruptcies, liens, judgments), and overall debt levels. These checks are primarily used for positions involving financial responsibility, access to sensitive information, or fiduciary duties. VerifAI ensures full compliance with the growing number of state and local laws restricting employment credit checks.
For positions involving financial responsibility, credit checks provide insight into a candidate's financial management and potential vulnerability to fraud or theft. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners reports that employees with financial pressures commit 65% of occupational fraud. However, credit checks are heavily regulated — 11 states and numerous cities restrict their use. VerifAI automatically applies state-specific restrictions to ensure compliance.
