FCRA employment screening workflow
A practical overview for employers evaluating People Vetting Pre-employment Check. Not legal advice.
What is an FCRA employment screening workflow?
An FCRA employment screening workflow is the sequence employers use when ordering consumer reports for hiring: certify a permissible purpose (typically employment), provide required disclosures, obtain authorization, order the report, and follow adverse-action steps if they take unfavorable action based on the report. People Vetting encodes those checkpoints into the order path.

Typical checkpoints
- Certify permissible purpose for employment (or other allowed purpose where applicable).
- Provide a clear disclosure and obtain the applicant’s authorization before ordering.
- Order the package; keep auditability of who certified what and when.
- If taking adverse action based on the report, follow pre-adverse / adverse notice practices required for your situation.
How People Vetting approaches it
Pre-employment Check is the employment product line. Purpose certification lives on the order; packages define capabilities and pricing. We do not claim PBSA accreditation or similar badges until earned. For integrity assessment research, see IntegriVetting—separately gated from employment-decision scoring.
