Alliance Risk Group can find out if drivers have valid licenses, receive notifications of changes to your drivers’ record, and provide reports on reportable accidents, convictions, expirations, suspensions and revocations. We can discover actionable intelligence in each state in which the applicant held a motor vehicle operator’s license or permit within the past three years.

Should any additional areas or names appear within the previous 7 years, the client will be notified and asked whether they would like additional searches on each additional name and area.

The information we obtain includes, but is not limited to position held, hire and termination date, wage/salary, type/status, and reason for leaving. This information is verified through the Human Resources department in which employee records are kept. Per company policy, many entities are only able to verify the position held and start and end date for employees. However, the effort to obtain all information will always be made. Our efforts include 5 attempts to contact the employers. Should we find a discrepancy in the information provided by the applicant and the information provided by the employer, the report will be flagged, and the responsibility will fall on the applicant should he/she wish to dispute such discrepancy. We also flag an employment verification if we were unable to compete the verification for whatever reason.
