[Webinar] The Power of Nationwide Criminal Data in Proactive Risk Management

Written by Sydney Landes | May 27, 2025 6:58:31 PM

We have a webinar coming up - join us live to learn how comprehensive criminal data can mitigate risks in today’s fragmented workforce, and tips for finding the right solution.

You can’t manage what you can’t see... and in today’s shifting workforce, visibility gaps are increasing.

With gig work, remote teams, and cross-state hiring becoming the norm, the traditional boundaries of employment no longer exist. People move frequently, hold multiple jobs, and could have criminal records in any part of the country. The result is a workforce that is more mobile, fragmented, and harder to track than ever before.

This shift creates a serious challenge for effective risk management. The old method of relying on candidates or employees to self-disclose and guide county-level criminal checks just isn’t effective anymore. In fact, a 2023 survey revealed that 70% of job seekers have lied or would consider lying on their résumés. While this often involves falsifying credentials or experience, it raises the question: If candidates stretch the truth on their resumes, can they be trusted to disclose their full criminal history?

For CRAs, background screening providers, and risk-conscious industries, this means that nationwide visibility and access to comprehensive criminal data are more critical than ever. Consider industries like finance or cybersecurity, where detecting patterns of fraudulent behavior, such as check or wire fraud, across jurisdictions is essential. Or commercial auto insurers, who need visibility into driver behavior across state lines to underwrite policies responsibly. And the list goes on.

A National Criminal Database (NatCrim) search helps close the visibility gap. By scanning hundreds of millions of criminal records across counties, states, and federal jurisdictions, a NatCrim search provides nationwide coverage and critical pointer data to guide deeper county-level checks. In short, it enables businesses to leave no stone unturned.

But here’s the catch: not all NatCrim solutions are created equal. Many are outdated, incomplete, or inconsistent, leaving screeners, employers, and businesses exposed to hidden risks.
