Multi-State Criminal History

Workplace violence and employee theft cost businesses billions of dollars a year in terms of theft, increased insurance costs and expensive lawsuits.

  • On-the-job violence costs employers $36 billion annually
  • The average award in a workplace violence lawsuit is $1.6 million
  • 30% of all business failures are caused by employee theft
  • Almost 15% of all applicants admit to theft of merchandise from an employer

In addition, employers lose 79% of all negligent hiring suits and the average jury plaintiff award in employment law cases continues to be in excess of $1.6 million. (USA Today - Nov. 21, 2003)

To help companies weed out the potentially dangerous applicants, InfoMart offers a Multi-State Criminal Search, which contains a wealth of criminal information otherwise undisclosed by an applicant. The Multi-State Criminal Search contains record information from states encompassing over 90% of the population and has over 135 million records. In addition, InfoMart’s exclusive Multi-State Criminal Search includes a Multi-State Sex Offender scan which searches sex offender records spanning 42 states and more than 80% of the US population.

Historically, employers have had to rely upon a single county jurisdiction criminal history search. The Multi-State Criminal Search broadens the search area and identifies criminal offenses committed in jurisdictions outside of an applicant’s resident county or offenses that occurred outside of the normally reported timeframes.

The Multi-State Criminal Search is an effective “pre-screen” tool which, combined with a jurisdiction criminal history search, identifies criminal history records that would never be discovered otherwise.
