Tennessee Background Checks

Tennessee is home to a growing and diverse workforce that supports thriving industries like healthcare, education, transportation, manufacturing, and finance. But finding the best talent takes more than just a résumé and a strong interview.

Background checks are a vital component of any Tennessee-based organization’s hiring strategy, helping employers hire at scale while minimizing potential risk.

Accurate’s background check services are designed to give employers a reliable well-rounded view of a candidate’s history, from identity verification and criminal background checks to employment and education history.

Every industry comes with unique hiring requirements, which is why Accurate offers fully customizable background check solutions. Whether you’re hiring for a hospital, logistics company, school, or corporate office, we tailor each screening to match the needs and risk profile of each role.

Tennessee employers can structure employment background checks based on the specific role and industry rules and regulations. Common background screening for employment purposes may include:

• Identity verification
• Criminal background checks (federal, state, and county searches)
• Employment history
• Education and credential verification
• Professional license verification
• Abuse and sex offender registry search

We can also obtain professional references on the employer’s behalf to help you evaluate a candidate’s past job performance.

While Tennessee doesn’t have a statewide “Fair Chance” or “Ban the Box” law, employers need to stay current with federal regulations such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that govern background checks as well as EEOC Guidance on utilizing criminal history in employment decisions. The EEOC Guidance provides employers what to consider when reviewing criminal recording, including but not limited to, avoiding blanket policies that automatically disqualify applicants based on criminal records and instead, evaluate whether criminal history is directly related to the job and if it would affect the applicant’s ability to perform the duties of the role.
