Running a Background Check

[Filip Vaco]

I will be running a background check for some applicants for the first time and I was wondering what resources you use to do that?

@Filip Vaco the TransUnion SmartMove screening is the one BP recommends as you can go to the Tools section for the link.  Hope this helps!

Ok, thank you!

I use Transunion Smartmove. If you are a USAA member you get a cheaper rate.

Filip, 

Make sure you do more than just the background check. Credit reports and eviction reports are a very important part of screening as well. 

Take some time to call previous landlords and your applicant's place of employment. A combination of these will ensure you have all resources you need to make an educated decision. 

Please reach out with any questions!

Good luck!
