The social security number verification database compares your prospective employee’s social security number with credit header databases to insure that the number has not been used in conjunction with another person’s name. It verifies the fact that the prospective employee is, in fact, who they say they are. If a name other than perhaps a former married name turns up it is a signal that further investigation is needed if the employer intends to hire the applicant such as the presentation to the employer of the applicant’s social security card and other identifying information; contacting Stealth Partners for investigation into the identity of the applicant. Stealth Partners has a direct verification account with the Social Security Administration.

Information in the address history database includes: Most Likely Current Address, Phone Numbers, Previous Addresses, Possible Relatives – (people with the same last name as the subject who have shared an address) – Ages, Month/Year of birth, Addresses and Phone Numbers; Neighbors; Ownership Information for Historical and Current Addresses, and National Bankruptcies. Variations between the address history shown on the application and the address history that comes up in this database could be an indication that the applicant wasn’t living where he/she said they were during a certain time frame which could be a signal to the prospective employer that the prospective employee requires further back grounding should the employer be truly interested in pursuing the application further.

Our National Criminal database is the most extensive collection of criminal data records exclusive of those maintained by the FBI. It currently is comprised of 75% of the states and contains more than 84 million records. It also includes data from the Foreign National Sanctions Repository and Multi-State Sex and Violent Offenders. Although we can only provide “hits” within the past seven years, a “hit” in this database should signal the employer to look more closely at the applicant. Often times common names will produce multiple “hits” with no date of birth shown for the person shown in the database. This can require either having the prospective employee to make a trip to the courthouse in order to obtain a “no record” certification or Stealth Partners can do the verification in the client’s behalf at our reasonable rates.

• National Worker’s Compensation Appeals Board Index check (Following a conditional offer of employment)

The Worker’s Compensation Appeals Board Index contains all WCAB claims submitted for the last ten years and is searched by social security number so that our clients won’t miss a claim that has been submitted following a name change. This is an extremely valuable database that can identify applicants with a history of WCAB claims that may affect their performance if the prospective employer hires them.

Due to regulations governing this information the WCAB Index Check can only be completed after the client has made a conditional offer of employment to the prospective employee.
