How do I order a background check for an applicant?

You can order a background check by logging into your Active Screening account and clicking on "Order a Report." This is located on the top of the screen. Next, you will need to select the package you wish to order. If you are using the A La Carte section, you will choose the services you want to order. After selecting your package, you will click, “Next Step”.

On the Applicant Details page, you will input your candidate’s information. Everything with a red asterisk is required to run a background check. At the bottom of this page, you will need to choose from three options. For more information on what these three options mean, see “How would you like to determine the areas which you will search?”

Last, you will click “Next Step”. You will then be taken to the Report Confirmation page. You will need to agree to the “Fair Credit Reporting Act”. To do this, you will want to click in the small grey box with “I agree” next to it and then click “Order Report”. This completes the ordering process.
