How we work

The right search scope, handled consistently

We begin by reviewing the purpose of the search, available identifying information, relevant locations, and your established screening criteria. This defines an appropriate search scope before work begins.

CBEOF coordinates the selected record searches and returns organized results for review. Your organization retains control of the decision while we help keep the screening process clear and consistent.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions?

What criminal record searches are available?

Search scope can include appropriate county, state, federal, or database sources based on the role, locations, permissible purpose, and screening plan.

Why can county searches matter?

Many reportable court records originate at the county level. A targeted search strategy can help confirm information at the relevant source.

Accurate identifiers and any required disclosure, authorization, and permissible purpose should be established before a background report is requested.

How long do criminal searches take?

Timing varies by court access, jurisdiction, identifiers, and whether manual research is required. CBEOF communicates the expected range for each request.

Does a record automatically disqualify a candidate?

No. The requesting organization is responsible for lawful, job-related criteria, individualized assessment, and any required pre-adverse and adverse action process.

How does CBEOF help choose the search scope?

CBEOF reviews the role, locations, risk factors, and existing policy to help define a practical screening package without making the final employment decision.
