National Offenders Watch (NOW) quickly searches criminal history databases that span most of the nation. It’s a quick, easy tool for raising the thoroughness of your investigation in a cost-effective manner.

If your applicant omits criminal history or other personal data from the job application, you may be unaware of locations where criminal records may exist. NOW turns up pointers to these locations, which merit further investigation.

This service can be a particularly good fit if your hiring pool is transient or tends to have no established residences.
