Some organizations require additional screening services based upon industry regulations, executive hiring, fiduciary responsibilities, or international operations. Horizon offers several specialty services that may be incorporated into customized screening programs.
Executive Due Diligence
Executive-level hiring often requires additional research beyond traditional employment screening. Executive due diligence may include expanded litigation history, business affiliations, media research, regulatory reviews, civil filings, and other publicly available information relevant to leadership positions.
International Searches
For applicants who have lived, worked, or attended school outside the United States, international screening services may include criminal record research, education verification, employment verification, and other searches where legally available.
Continuous Monitoring
For organizations seeking ongoing awareness of reportable events after hire, continuous monitoring solutions may be available based on the client’s program requirements and applicable legal limitations.
Civil Records
Civil court research may identify publicly available lawsuits involving an applicant when relevant to the position and permitted by applicable law. Civil records are typically recommended only for positions where such information has a legitimate business purpose.
Credit Reports
When permitted by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and applicable state law, employment credit reports may be appropriate for positions involving financial responsibility, fiduciary duties, or access to company assets. These searches should only be requested when there is a legitimate business need.
Sanctions Searches
Sanctions searches compare applicants against various federal and state exclusion databases used by healthcare organizations, government contractors, and other regulated industries to identify individuals prohibited from participating in certain programs or contracts.
