How to Read a Report

Note: To view completed reports, you will need the "View Reports" or "View All Reports for Other Users" permission

Let's break down a completed report so we can understand the information that is provided.

Depending on where your business or applicant is located, a state-specific disclaimer may be located at the top of the report. 

Header

Your report starts with header information, where you will find basic data regarding the order itself. This section contains all pertinent information about your file and Verified First.

The top left section of the header is information about your company. 

The top right section is Verified First's information so the candidate is aware of who ran the search and who to contact in the event that they need to dispute any information on the report. 

The requested date is when the file was ordered and printed date is when the file was last updated.

Application Information

This section contains all relevant candidate information provided by the candidate or the HR user who requested the report:

Executive Summary

Summary of results for all background screening products ordered on the file. 

Individual Product Details

The sections beneath the Executive Summary will contain service details that will vary based on the types of searches ordered.

Please note: Results from the Nationwide Criminal Database search will show as 'Complete' or 'Complete - Clear'.
 

• Clear Searches: Will be marked with a green 'Complete - Clear' status, immediately indicating no potential records were found.
• Searches with Potential Hits: Will continue to be marked with a black 'Complete' status and will include the standard note advising that jurisdictions may be added for further research.
  Because the National Criminal Database product is a database, and not a live source, any confirmed matches will show in the relevant product and jurisdiction to ensure you get the most up-to-date information possible at the time of reporting.

FCRA Summary of Rights

Added to the report after the individual product details in order provide a copy to your candidates. 

If your company has purchased a non-background screening product, such as Drug Screening or Occupational Health product from Verified First, this will appear after the ***End of Report*** section located at the bottom of the background screening report.
