Employee Screening

POEknows is truly a one-stop employment screening company. From criminal record searches to drug screening, we provide everything you need to perform any type of background check you require.

Our credibility interview helps us determine why an applicant has left their previous employer, as well as previous employers your candidate may not want you to know about.

Our nationwide reach includes criminal, credit, and driving records, plus verification on all significant education and licensing history to ensure you’re hiring the right people for the right roles.

In-Depth Reports

Our reports include professional, pleasant, in-depth interviews with the applicant and the applicant’s employers. As a result, you are able to make informed hiring decisions with confidence.

Hiring Recommendations

At your request, POEknows will make recommendations, in writing, to hire or not to hire based on our findings. We also diligently monitor our clients’ FCRA and EEOC compliance.

How It Works

High-quality background checks are a crucial step in the hiring process. Employers need to ensure they’re hiring the right people for the business.

Ultimate partners with POEknows, powered by TazWorks, to offer a comprehensive suite of cloud-based employment screening services. You’ll gain peace of mind in your hiring decisions with accurate, reliable results and robust tools to help maintain compliance.
