Why should you consider the services of InfoLink?

WE PROVIDE IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Subscribers are concerned about violence in the workplace, negligent hiring liability, falsified employment applications, employee theft, turnover, and more. InfoLink provides accurate, timely, valuable, cost-effective screening and due diligence information.

In addition, we "catch" applicants who falsify their employment application by omitting listing past employers via the InfoLink Prior-Employer Tracking program or Workers' Compensation Filings Searches. Thus we save the employer the "expense" of training applicants who have questionable integrity.

INFORMATION IS COST-EFFECTIVE AND RELAYED
QUICKLY TO SUBSCRIBERS

InfoLink performs a menu of background searches all surrounding employment requirements. Searches like (1) Criminal History, (2) Motor Vehicle Report, and (3) Social Security Verification as a package are only $24.80 plus court and DMV fees. Volume discounts are available! Additional searches are from only $3.00 to $32.50 depending on the search required.

We pride ourselves on our turnaround time. Information is provided normally within 24 to 72 hours except for some out of town courts or educational institutions. For On-Line clients some reports are completed within one hour of their request. Turnaround time analysis with dates and time stamp is on each report confirming our commitment to fast turnaround of information.

THE LATEST IN ON-LINE TECHNOLOGY

LEGAL AUTHORITY AVAILABLE

It is critical today that companies performing background screening deal with a firm that understands the law! InfoLink has taken the steps to put our subscribers at ease by obtaining a letter from the national law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher which confirms the fact that our forms and procedures comply with the United States Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"), found at 15 United States Code Section 1681; the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act ("CCRAA"), found at California Civil Code Section 1785; and the Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act ("ICRAA"), found at California Civil Code Section 1786.

In addition, we have legal authority from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, in writing, indicating that there is no third party liability for any organization who refers business to InfoLink.

BETTER PLACEMENT DECISIONS

Informed hiring decisions will serve to reduce turnover, recruitment costs and supervisory time and effort.

REDUCED LIABILITY

The potential liability of hiring an unfit individual is enormous. In addition, placing the wrong person in a position can create hardship for both the employee and the company. The employer must make every reasonable effort to hire only qualified and competent individuals. Using InfoLink's services illustrates due diligence performed by the employer in investigating an applicant's history.

HUMAN RESOURCES PRODUCTIVITY

InfoLink Subscribers typically experience savings due to the reduction in workload associated with applicant interviewing and reference checking. Applicants' knowledge that a criminal, social security, and motor vehicle investigation will be performed acts as a deterrent even at the application stage. Thus, Human Resources professionals save time and money by not having to interview applicants who don't complete the application process. In addition, receiving a negative report prior to spending time calling references allows InfoLink subscribers to become more efficient and effective.
