Atlas Screening

For professional services

Screening built on the trust your clients pay for.

Law firms, accounting practices, consultancies, and agencies win work on reputation and the credentials of their people. Atlas pairs criminal history with employment, education, and credential verification, so you can confirm the record behind a professional hire matches what they reported.

What matters here

The checks that matter when reputation is the product.

Professional firms place people directly in front of clients and their confidential information. These are the parts of Atlas that professional and client-facing roles lean on most.

Employment verification

Confirm past employers, titles, and dates so the experience behind a resume matches what the candidate reported, without your team chasing references by phone.

Education and credentials

Verify degrees, professional licenses, and certifications relevant to the role, so a claimed qualification is confirmed at the source before an offer.

Criminal history search

National database results give fast early signal, which Atlas then works to verify at the county and federal source before it appears on the finished report.

Credit review where permitted

For partners and roles with financial or fiduciary responsibility, assess financial history subject to a permissible purpose and applicable state credit-check limits.

Applicant-guided intake

Candidates enter and consent to their own information through a guided flow, which cuts recruiter data entry and keeps disclosure and authorization on file.

Compliance handled

Standalone disclosure, written authorization, and the adverse-action workflow are built in, so a small talent team never has to cut compliance corners.

In the product

Every candidate, one verified record.

Atlas keeps each hire in a single view, from the first invite through consent, verification, results, and any adverse-action steps. Your team sees what is pending and what is confirmed while candidates move through a self-guided flow.

  • Send invites and watch status update as candidates finish intake
  • Separate fast database results from the verified report so you know what still needs confirmation
  • Built-in consent and adverse-action steps help keep professional hiring aligned with the FCRA

FCRA compliance

How this check stays compliant.

Built to be defensible: upfront consent, adverse-action support, and open dispute rights.

  • Atlas is the reporting agency; you decide

    Atlas is a Consumer Reporting Agency that furnishes reports under the FCRA. Your organization makes the hiring decision.

  • Consent before every check

    Every check needs a lawful permissible purpose, a standalone disclosure, and the applicant's written authorization.

  • A supported, two-step adverse action

    Pre-adverse notice with the report and a summary of rights, a waiting period, then a final notice. Atlas supports each step.

  • Disputes are reinvestigated

    Applicants may dispute a report; Atlas reinvestigates and corrections reach your dashboard. Email compliance@atlasscreening.com.

  • Sourced with reasonable procedures

    Contents come from third-party and public records. Atlas uses reasonable procedures for accuracy but cannot guarantee every record is current.

Questions from professional services.

How screening works for your team, what returns quickly, and where compliance is handled for you.

Can Atlas verify professional licenses and credentials?
Atlas verifies education, employment history, and many professional licenses and certifications at the source. Which credentials are checked depends on the role, and your firm decides what to require. Atlas furnishes the verified report; it does not decide whether a credential meets your standard.
How fast do results come back?
Identity and national database results typically return quickly. Employment and education verifications and county court searches can take longer depending on the responsiveness of the source. Atlas separates fast database results from the complete verified report so you always know what is confirmed.
Can we run credit checks on partner or fiduciary roles?
Credit-based screening requires a permissible purpose and the candidate's authorization, and several states restrict credit checks in employment. Atlas furnishes the report where those conditions are met; your firm decides how it factors into a decision within applicable law.
Who makes the hiring decision?
Your firm does. Atlas is a Consumer Reporting Agency that furnishes the report; it does not make or recommend hiring decisions. When a report may lead to an adverse decision, the pre-adverse and adverse-action process applies.
