A "PEOPLE SEARCH REPORT" (or PS) is a great place to start your screening process for applicants. It will give you an address history for the individual for the past 20 years, in addition to a listing of known aliases they have used.

This will help you identify which states the applicant has resided in the past, and can help you decide which types of reports you should run in order to perform a throughout background check for the individual. For instance, if the applicant has resided in a state, which is not covered under a national criminal report, then you can either run a manual state or county report depending on what is offered by the state.

An additional featyre of the People Search Report is Social Security verification, which will automatically be performed if the applicant's social security number is entered in the search criteria.
