Screening Talent Past Positive® At the core of USA's employment policy is our Past - Positive® Applicant Background Verification System, a key component of our Quality Assurance System.

The system verifies previous educational background, work history, employment references, criminal records, Social Security number, and driver's license validity and ensures that applicable state licensing requirements are met. It also validates that all screening checks have been completed, and confirms that the results exceed a defined standard. Background Investigation Our background investigation of each Associate includes the following, at a minimum: • Verification of United States citizenship or authorization to work • Criminal record check • Drug screening program • Contract compliance requirements Criminal Record Check All Associates are subject to a seven -year criminal record check performed in all counties of residence, including a Social Security number trace, Social Security number validation, terrorist check, sex offender check, and federal and national database searches.
