The Problem

A Bad Hire Costs More Than a Slow One

  • Safety and Liability

    One missed record can put the wrong person behind the wheel or on a job site.

  • Legal Risk

    Skipping a disclosure or an adverse action notice can turn a routine check into an FCRA claim.

  • Slow Hiring

    Checks that drag on lose good candidates to the next employer.

What Rise Checks

Screening Matched to the Role

  • Criminal Records

    County, state, and federal searches.

  • Civil Records

    Civil court history where the role calls for it.

  • Driving Records

    MVRs for anyone who drives for you.

  • Employment Verification

    Past employers and dates, including DOT safety performance history for drivers.

  • Education and Licenses

    Degrees, certifications, and professional licenses.

  • Ongoing Screening

    Rechecks for roles that need them.

Done the Right Way

The FCRA Steps, Built In

  1. Before the check.

    A clear written disclosure and the applicant's written authorization.

    15 U.S.C. 1681b(b)(2)

  2. Before an adverse decision.

    A pre-adverse action notice with a copy of the report and a summary of rights.

    15 U.S.C. 1681b(b)(3)

  3. After a reasonable wait.

    The final adverse action notice.

    15 U.S.C. 1681m

Some states and cities add their own rules. Rise sets your process up to match where you hire.

Screening, Testing, and Physicals in One Hire

Rise schedules the background check, the drug test, and the DOT physical at the same time, so nothing waits on anything else.
