 The Orsus Group’s unrivaled employment background screening solutions have the depth and breadth to satisfy the needs of any organization. Through the implementation of best practices and innovative solutions, we’ll help your organization deploy and manage a successful screening program.
The Orsus Group Background Screening Services include:
Criminal Background Checks
County, State, Federal and National Criminal Records
Criminal felony and misdemeanor searches help companies identify any potential unsavory applicants with past criminal behavior. Results indicating a criminal background are communicated in an easy to read format and are only reported once The Orsus Group has conducted a thorough investigation.
Sexual Offender Registry Search
The U.S. Department of Justice reports that there are more than 500,000 registered Sex Offenders nationwide. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, the recidivism rate for sex crimes is four times higher than for other offenses. Recidivism is defined as a tendency to lapse into a previous pattern of behavior, especially a pattern of criminal habits.
Based on the statistical information available, companies should be encouraged to perform this search to rule out the potential of hiring someone with a past history of sexual offenses. Performing this check on applicants helps reduce a company’s risk of workplace violence and potential negligent hiring or retention lawsuits.
The Orsus Group Statewide Sex Offender Search lets your company search records for one or as many states as needed. It reveals any prior state record as a convicted sex offender. Rules vary by state; however The Orsus Group will attempt to verify the individual’s information and sentence from court records in the event a prior record is found to ensure your company maintains a safe workplace.
Civil Court Records Searches
The Orsus Group offers civil court record searches to help your company identify an applicant who may have past civil record. Many court record searches are performed at the county level in areas where the applicant has been known to reside.
Previous Employment Verification
One of the most commonly falsified pieces of information is an applicant’s employment history. The Orsus Group can eliminate one of the most time consuming aspects of an HR professional’s job. The Orsus Group goes directly to past employers, to retrieve relevant information to validate a candidate’s employment history.
Education and Degree Verification
Education, Licenses and Credential history are the most commonly falsified information on resumes and job applications. The Orsus Group can provide the following verification to assist HR Professionals in making the correct placement decisions based on a candidate’s professional history:
Professional License Verification
The Orsus Group can assist in verifying that an applicant not only possesses the license, but that the license is in good standing.

Professional Reference Checks and/or Interviews
Professional references help organizations gain an additional level of information on their applicant, beyond what is listed on their resume that can provide them greater insight to a person’s work ethic and abilities.
The Orsus Group offers a standard or customized reference check to help expedite the process HR professionals must complete when screening an applicant. Professional references include the contacting of past employers, colleagues and/or coworkers to gauge the applicant’s capabilities and authenticate work history.
Motor Vehicle Records Reports
