A Criminal History is usually searched by county throughout the United States and results are usually returned within 48 hours. Most agencies search either the county of residence, the county of prior employment or both. Additionally, the search is for the last 7 years unless otherwise requested.

Personal Interview:
While many companies have their own Human Resource Department who interview potential applicants, the personal interview is probably the most important aspect of screening. From this interview many traits of the applicant's behavior and attitude are exposed. A trained investigator is recommended to conduct such interview in addition to Human Resource personnel. It provides an additional perspective of the individual which can certainly assist in the hiring process.
