Our clients have confirmed that CHRM has reduced their turnaround time and at the same time has provided more information in an easy to read format. We pride ourselves in providing you with the most thorough information available at competitive prices. Our largest client base comes from hospitals and nursing homes. They are required by law to have the best information available to protect the public, their staff, patients and their geriatric residents.

We value our clients above all else and that attitude shows in the quality of our products. CHRM was developed as a Human Resource outsourcing company with a mission statement that emphasizes quality help from beginning to end. Many pre-employment screening companies offer instant criminal record searches at extremely low prices. They rarely request that you provide a signed release form. The majority of these firms were developed out of computer companies and their corporate credo is to provide cheap information quickly.

While this may seem convenient and cheap, you should be aware that most of these searches are from Corrections Department databases. This information will show you if your applicant is a convicted felon who has served time in a state facility. The problem is that 40%¹ of all convicted felons do not serve time in a state facility. You will never be made aware of these charges. Is this really all the information you need to make a sound hiring decision?

Approximately 18% of the US population has a criminal record, and only 3% are found in the corrections department records. Your provider just missed 83% of the records. Don’t you need to know that your applicant has multiple drug, battery and/or shoplifting charges? Most of these arrests are misdemeanors! They do not show up in corrections department records or in statewide searches for felonies only. Negligent hiring has to do with propensity not felony convictions.

Our direct access to thorough statewide repositories and county court searches and a network of researchers will allow you to see convictions for all felonies and misdemeanors. In some states such as GA, FL, SC & TN all charges are available regardless of whether they were dismissed, tried in court, convicted, or still pending. When charges are pending we contact the court to get up to date information. We interpret all of the legal codes and jargon and present concise statements of fact. If your applicants have a propensity for violent or criminal behavior, you will know before you decide to hire them when you have a CHRM report in your hands.

In addition to criminal searches we offer other products that come with the same guarantee of quality research and reporting. Social Security traces are used as opposed to simple SS number verifications in order to reveal all of an applicant’s former addresses and aliases so we know exactly where you need to search for records. Employment verifications include personal and professional references from the applicant’s former coworkers and supervisors. Add to that our extensive line of various screening services, and you are sure to get a very clear, comprehensive snapshot of your potential employees.

As you consider who you want as your pre-employment screening provider think about the ease and peace of mind that result from knowing you have placed your trust in a reliable, stable and experienced employee relations firm like CHRM. You are welcome to send us some requests on previous applicants using your consent form. We will let you compare our service to your current provider for free. Just call us for a free demonstration.
