Mark your calendars for Validity Screening Solutions’ Annual Birthday Bash! We will be celebrating by cheering on the Kansas City Royals as they host the San Francisco Giants at Kauffman Stadium.
As part of Validity's continuing commitment to provide you with the best quality of service, we have launched our new automatic status report to all clients. This status report arrives first thing in the morning via e-mail so as soon as you start your busy day you will be well informed of the status of your open background reports or recently completed reports.
E-verify Program
E-Verify, previously called the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility Verification Program, is an online system that is administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). E-Verify, a program that has been in existence since 1997, is an internet-based system that helps employers validate Social Security numbers and employment eligibility of potential new employees.

Validity’s iDology:

Validity is built on an iDology that guides every action - from what we do and how we do it to whom we hire and whom we serve. That iDology is simple: We believe the only way to separate fact from fiction is by going to the information's source instead of second-hand data. As a result, you get more accurate information - information that helps you make confident business decisions
