Every business owner and hiring manager understands that resumes present a very idealized version of an applicant’s employment history; the professional references they include will also be hand-picked individuals who are likely to offer glowing reviews of their performance. Unfortunately, many companies fear lawsuits and might not choose to share negative information that could help you make properly informed hiring decisions. But your employees are representatives of your company, and one bad hire can have a devastating impact on both your reputation and your bottom line! The good news is that our team at First Choice offers background checks to help you properly vet your job candidates, and we’ll help you find out what they don’t want you to know!

We’re proud to be Arkansas’ most trusted full-service third-party administrator and offer every conceivable lab test at our southwest Little Rock clinic. We offer industry-leading turnaround times on all drug and alcohol testing services and keep a Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff to verify the accuracy of all testing results. Confirming that an applicant is drug-free is an important place to start, and these are just a few of the background checks we offer:

Motor Vehicle Records (MVR)-If your candidate will be operating a company vehicle, we can help you confirm that he or she has a clean driving record. We’ll search for moving violations for the previous three years for all 50 states.

Nationwide Instant Criminal All Names-Plenty of good people make mistakes, but you’ll undoubtedly want to know if a prospective employee has a criminal past! Our NCD search includes over 300 million criminal records from the Department of Corrections (DOC), Administration of the Court (AOC) covering 49 states and the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico, as well as county court criminal records in over 3100 counties throughout the USA.

National State Sex Offender Registries (NSSOR) Checks-If your employee will be working with children, we offer instant NSSOR checks from 49 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico, including offender photographs where available.
