| ConcernedCRAs |
ConcernedCRAs is a group of like-minded
CRA's (Consumer Reporting Agencies) who are concerned
about the future of the employment background screening
industry. We believe that certain data practices employed
by some CRA's place our profession at risk.
Some employment background screening firms send the
sensitive personal information (i.e. social security
numbers and financial account information) off-shore
to be processed. We believe that sending such information
off-shore places both applicants and employers at risk
and should be avoided whenever possible. Alternatively,
when personal information is sent to other countries,
applicants and employers should be made aware of this
practice.
In addition, some employment background screening firms
sell "national criminal records databases"
to employers without appropriate safeguards to ensure
that the information they are delivering is accurate
and up to date. We believe that criminal records databases
are valuable sources of information if they are used
in a responsible manner.
We are concerned that these practices do not appropriately
protect employment applicants from avoidable harm.
Likewise, employers are placed at increased risk of
litigation and public relations problems when their
employment background screening partners employ these
practices. Ultimately, we are concerned that ongoing
media coverage related to errors in background checks
and the potential for litigation and overreaching
legislative solutions place our profession at risk.
