Time is Money—Options to Help You Save

Send and receive data with the method that best fits your company and your bottom line. We'll help you find the option that's right for your hiring needs, and our implementation team will help you consider what's most efficient.

Candidate Entry

We can offload data entry to the individual candidate. Using our easy-to-follow workflow, candidates can complete the necessary consent forms and provide the information needed to request a background check. Collecting the information from the source frees you up to make hiring decisions. Candidates also receive automated email reminders to keep the process moving. And you'll receive notifications of candidate responses to help meet your own schedule.

Progressive Ordering

Our proprietary Identity Verification tool allows you to verify whether the applicant is who he or she claims to be. With progressive ordering, you can set up your screening process to stop if a red flag appears in the process, so that you won't have to pay for searches on an unknown identity.

Prescreen Packages

You can front load your screening process by indicating what searches are to be completed for which job titles. These search criteria are universally applied, helping ensure consistent and fair treatment.

Adjudication & Scoring

Another feature that can enhance your screening process is Adjudication & Scoring Services. You can use your own hiring policies and procedures to automate notification of applicants who are outliers and conduct additional searching to verify returned results. This frees you from the task of pouring through detailed reports to simply review pass/fail scores. You decide what scores require further review upfront, so that those who fall within an acceptable range are automatically passed. Please note that the criteria you determine may be influenced by regulatory compliance rules and legal interpretation.

At LexisNexis Screening Solutions, integration is our forte. We are prepared to plug into your existing system seamlessly.

  • More than 200 successful client integrations
