DataQuest works closely with our clients to help make sure you have the employment screening information and tools you need to do your job and to help you meet legal requirements.

As a CRA, DataQuest is regulated by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), as well as state laws, rules and regulations with regards to obtaining and reporting information. You as an employer are also regulated by the FCRA, if you use CRAs such as DataQuest, for your employment screening.

Complimentary Forms/Templates/Notices

DataQuest can also provide our clients with numerous sample forms, templates, and notices to help with compliance requirements. Many employers do not know or understand all of their obligations under the FCRA, but we can help with that.

The following is a partial list of available forms/templates/notices:

• Applicant Disclosure and Authorization sample forms
