Background and Reference Checking Services
Applicants provide potential employers with a great deal of information on their background, experience, education, and skills. But how, as the potential employer, do you ensure the accuracy of this information? Statistics show that between 25% and 30% of the data provided by applicants is misleading, exaggerated, or completely false. Where do you find the time to verify the data?
Through a partnership with nationally renowned Strategic Informational Resources, Inc. (SIR), EANE can offer you the background screening services that you need:
Employment-Based Screening Options:
- Detailed Employment Background Examination: Tired of the “name, rank and serial number” syndrome? EANE’s contacts with area businesses can cut through the tape and get the critical information that others may not get.
- Employment Verification: We will confirm dates of employment, title, and request feedback about your applicant.
- Education Verification: We will confirm degrees, graduation dates, and special academic honors.
- Professional License Verification: Our staff will diligently research the current validity of any licenses or professional credentials stated by your applicant.
- I-9 / US Work Authorization: SIR is a Designated Agent of the Department of Homeland Security and is authorized to verify new hires' legal right to work in the United States.
- Military Service Verification: We can deliver an official copy of an applicant’s military record.
- Social Security Validation: Our service matches the name of your applicant to the social security number given. In addition, we provide previous addresses and any aliases associated with the SS#.
- These options can be packaged for additional cost savings or can be selected on an “a la carte” basis.
Credit Report Check:
- Employment Credit Report: Bureau credit report with EEOC sensitive information removed. If desired, a copy of the report can be mailed to the applicant to help you comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) rules.

Concerned about the safety of your employees and the customers or clients that you serve? Together, EANE and Strategic Information Resources have access to an international network of information that can be delivered to you.
