5. Establish secure portal access and begin screening.

Establishing Our Professional Partnership

Every Horizon employment screening client relationship begins with an Employment Screening Service Agreement. The agreement documents the services Horizon will provide, the employer’s permissible purpose for ordering consumer reports, each party’s responsibilities under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and applicable state and local laws, information-security and confidentiality expectations, and billing terms.

Horizon provides the Service Agreement directly to new clients during account setup and reviews it with your team so that responsibilities are clear before the first order is placed. We recommend that your legal department or qualified counsel review the agreement as part of your onboarding process.

Employer Compliance Manual

Horizon employer clients receive access to our Employer Compliance Manual, a practical reference covering disclosure and authorization, adverse action, criminal-record review, information security, record retention, audit checklists, and official government resources.

New clients receive the manual as part of onboarding. Other organizations may request a copy, and a member of our team will follow up to discuss your needs before sending it. The manual is not a substitute for advice from qualified legal counsel. Additional educational information is available on our Compliance Resources page.

What New Clients Can Expect

New clients receive assistance with account setup, screening-program design, portal access, ordering procedures, compliance resources, and ongoing support.
