Applicant Screening

More than 30% of all job applicants provide false information on their resumes, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. Now government agencies can protect themselves against these threats to public security and trust. LexisNexis® Applicant Screening offers fast, comprehensive verification and analysis of high risk elements like education, financial history, and legal standing.

Fast, accurate verification and analysis

    LexisNexis® Applicant Screening verifies educational and employment history, professional licenses, criminal background, current legal standing, financial history, and even driving records. Our secure online management system keeps you updated about the status of each search you have ordered and provides estimated completion times. How long will it take? Some information can be returned instantaneously, while more comprehensive searches are delivered in an average of two to three days.

      Personalized account management

        Applicant Screening gives you automatic access to a dedicated customer service team who ensures that your agency’s unique screening needs are met and can advise you on how to comply with federal regulations.

          Customizable results

            Applicant Screening software and reports are both fully customizable. You can integrate results into your current HR or security software, order reports that match your specific job codes and requirements, consolidate billing across multiple departments, and customize reports so that they contain only the information that you need.

              Fast, efficient batch processing
