Now in addition to running criminal background checks, motor vehicle records, social
security numbers, credit checks and employment references, there is an option to
request personal references as well.
“At Data Facts, our primary mission is to provide in-depth, relevant and accurate
reports in a timely manner to help our customers make sound hiring decisions, and
reduce the risk of negligent hiring issues,” said Daphne Large, CEO of Data Facts. “We
continue to work with APS to improve our processes and make it easier for SmartSearch
users to compile, store and search in-depth, relevant and useful information throughout
the hiring process.”
It’s easy for SmartSearch users to benefit from this feature. They simply log into
the system and enter the names and phone numbers of the applicant’s personal
references. Data Facts subsequently updates the system with any and all feedback
received from the personal reference so employers have the information to make a
smart hiring decision.
“Having worked with Data Facts and SmartSearch for several years, we’ve been
looking forward to the latest integration of reference checking,” says Rolana Bourland, Human Resource Generalist with Cummins Mid-South. “With the help of Data Facts, we
look forward to hiring the most qualified candidates.”
“SmartSearch is designed to seamlessly integrate with our clients’ existing
systems and applications for managing all employment related information,” said Doug
Coull, CEO of APS. “We’ve successfully integrated with many internal and external
applications such as job boards and HRIS/payroll systems, for example, as well as other
leading background screening providers including Kroll and USIS. We are very pleased
to offer our clients this upgrade to our integration with Data Facts. We appreciate their
attention to detail and commitment to personalized service; these are values we share in
the development of our solutions.”
