About ScreeningPolicy.com: Four Friends, One Very Nerdy Idea.
ScreeningPolicy.com is the work of four college friends who grew up around employment screening.
Our families work in background checks, human resources, and employment law.
So, naturally, we built an employment screening policy builder instead of a solar-powered road bike.
How Four Friends Ended Up in Employment Screening Policy
Some families talk about sports at dinner. Ours talk about disclosure forms, adverse action letters, and ban-the-box laws.
Several of our relatives work in the employment screening industry. Others work in HR, and one uncle practices employment law.
Therefore, we absorbed hiring compliance long before we planned to.
Over time, the four of us kept noticing the same problem. Employers could find the laws, but they could not tell which ones applied.
Consequently, we stopped talking about it and started building. ScreeningPolicy.com is the result, and yes, we are still friends.
We read the statutes so you do not have to. On purpose. For fun, apparently.

Employment Screening Laws for Every Job Position
Most resources hand you a stack of laws and wish you luck. We think that is homework, not help.
Instead, our builder compiles the laws and statutes that apply to one specific job position.
For example, a nurse in Chicago and a driver in Dallas face different rules. Therefore, every report starts with the job and the work location.
As far as we know, that makes our concept unique.
The Old Way: Here Are the Laws
You receive every statute at once.
Then you figure out which ones matter.
Our Way: Here Are Your Laws
You describe the position and the location.
Then our engine compiles the rules that apply.
The Result: A Head Start
Your attorney reviews a focused starting point.
Consequently, you save hours of legal research.

Why Crossing Every T and Dotting Every I Matters
Most job applicants play fair, and so do most employers.
However, a few people go looking for a technical mistake and a free payday.
15 U.S.C. § 1681n
Small Errors, Real Money
A willful FCRA violation can cost $100 to $1,000 per person.
Additionally, courts can add punitive damages and attorney fees.
Class Actions
One Form, Every Applicant
A flawed disclosure form repeats with every hire.
Consequently, one small error can grow into a class action.
State and Local Laws
Same Job, Different Rules
Cities and states add their own screening rules.
Therefore, a policy that works in one city may fail in another.
A documented, consistent background check policy is your best defense.
That is exactly what we help you build.
Meet the Family Behind the Policy Builder
Four friends run the site, but a whole family tree keeps us honest.
The Four of Us
We met in college and never stopped working together.
Now we build compliance tools instead of group projects.
The Screening Insiders
Our relatives in background screening showed us how the industry works.
They also showed us where employers trip most often.
The HR Crew
Our HR relatives live with hiring policy every day.
Therefore, we write reports that busy HR teams can actually read.
The Attorney Uncle
Our uncle practices employment law.
He reminds us, often, that we are not attorneys.
So we remind you, too.
What We Believe About Hiring Compliance
We take the law seriously, although we refuse to take ourselves seriously.
Specifically, six principles guide every report we build.
- Plain English beats legalese, so we write for humans first.
- Every rule should show its source, so we link the primary law.
- Your attorney gets the final word, because that is their job.
- Pricing should stay simple, so we charge $25 per report with no subscription.
- Your answers stay yours, because we do not store your questions or answers.
- Consistency protects everyone, so apply the same screening to the same job positions.
The serious part
We are not attorneys.
We are also not an employment background check company.
Instead, we do the homework so your attorney does not have to.
Each report is general compliance information and not legal advice.
Therefore, confirm every recommendation with your employment counsel.
How Our Background Check Policy Builder Works
You answer a few questions, and the engine does the legal legwork.
Describe the Position
First, enter the job title, pay, and duties.
Add Work Locations
Next, add each city, county, and state where the person works.
Answer a Few Questions
Then answer the due diligence questions while the engine compiles the laws.
Get Your Report
Finally, receive a color-coded report on screen and by email.
