FAQ: Background Checks

Background checks are available UltraCamp through True Hire. Some personal information is needed to run a background check. 

Why Is A Social Security Number Needed?

One of the greatest misconceptions about background checks is most people think that criminal records are attached to an individual’s social security number. In fact, criminal records are stored on one’s name and date of birth. If you were to search a criminal record database with no tother identifier besides a name, you would see criminal records for everyone with that name.

True Hire conducts a social security number trace on every applicant to ensure that we are background screening the exact person you are looking for. This SSN Trace provides us with a closer look into your applicants address history and shows any former names they may have had. Using this information, True Hire will accurately match any criminal records found on both the national and county level with your applicant.

How The Applicant's Information Protected?

True Hire’s background check system is fully secure and robust. We take all security measures when dealing with personal identifying information (PII). We understand that your applicant’s information and data is important, and we take the responsibility seriously. Additionally, our database is secured with a standard SSL certificate. The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard technology securing internet connection and protecting any sensitive data that is being sent between systems.

True Hire has a full in-house team of certified investigators that have both the knowledge and experience to conduct complaint background checks. You can rest easy that your applicants’ information is bot secure and protected.

Is True Hire Accredited?

True Hire was recently awarded accreditation by the Professional Background Screening Association Accreditation (PBSA). This means that we go above and beyond to provide our clients with accurate background checks and excellent customer service while following strict compliance and data security protocols.

How Does UltraCamp Handle Sensitive information?

UltraCamp is a secure website and requires a password or account to access. We also do not store your information like Social Security Number where anyone, not even you, can see it. In fact, once you enter the data and hit submit, the data immediately becomes encrypted on our server where no one can access it. Even if you, the user, reloads the page where you entered it previously, it does not show and can not be read.

Since the background check process is integrated directly in to UltraCamp, there is never a time where you have to leave your information in an email or enter it into a third-party site.
