To send a public records check to an applicant, all you need is the applicant’s name and email. Of course, they’ll have to consent to the background check like all other checks!
The process for the candidate is simple. Here’s how it works:
- A secure link is emailed to the person.
- The person consents to the check and inputs their information.
- Certn’s technology scans public databases and documents findings in a report.
The results are available in your Certn client dashboard instantly.
After the candidate successfully submits their information, public records search results are available in minutes. Turnaround times may be instant if the results come back clear. In some cases where the information needs to be verified, it could take a few days.
