Pre-Employment Background Checks

As an employer, you put yourself and your company at a potential risk whenever you hire a new employee. Establishing whether an employee has a criminal record is a crucial step in assessing the risk of bringing that person into your organization.

While not every crime would automatically prevent an applicant from being hired, having that knowledge allows you to make an educated decision. You can use the results of a criminal background check to then assess the applicability of the record to the position’s level of responsibility, exposure to assets or customers, and other criteria.

A-1 Fingerprinting & Drug Screening provides accurate and confidential background checks with fast results. We offer mobile services and locations in Fort Myers, North Port, and Bradenton, FL.

Extended Workforce Screening

If you’re like many modern employers, the very make-up of your workforce is changing. You may be looking to supplement your regular workforce with temporary and contract workers, vendors, consultants, interns, and sometimes volunteers to help keep your organization moving forward. Given this tidal shift in the very nature of employment, it’s critically important that you don’t create unnecessary gaps in your screening programs.

The most recent HireRight Employment Background Screening Benchmarking Report found that nearly 71 percent of organizations don’t background screen contingent workers, even though these individuals often have direct access to facilities, staff, and company information.

HireRight specifically designed our Extended Workforce Screening (EWS) solution to address this very issue.


Via our EWS solution, you can:

Mitigate unnecessary risks associated with your contingent workers
Realize greater consistency across your entire screening program
Help ensure vendor compliance to your specific screening standards
Consolidate program management to a single solution
Simplify implementation and expansion of EWS programs

After having difficulty with another fingerprinting place, I called Ryan at A1. His knowledge about the fingerprinting process was very apparent and he was friendly. I was in and out within a few minutes. I will be coming back for any future fingerprints.
