Background Screening

MeasureOne streamlines the process of collecting verified consumer data for businesses via consumer-centric data sharing.  We combine real-time access to hundreds of thousands of online connected consumer accounts with fully automated, document-agnostic Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), allowing businesses to collect verified information from both connected accounts and uploaded documents.

With 100% accurate document data extraction, built-in fraud prevention, and standardized outputs, businesses receive reliable data regardless of format. Our platform also supports continuous data feeds for ongoing monitoring, updates, and refreshes—ensuring data stays current over time.

Through proprietary cross-source data analysis and full API access, businesses gain seamless integration and actionable insights that go beyond simple verification—unlocking smarter decision-making, faster workflows, and better customer experiences.

Connected accounts allow consumers to securely log into their existing online accounts (like their bank, insurance provider, or payroll provider) to share the requested data with MeasureOne. Once linked, we extract and verify the data directly from these trusted sources in real time, minimizing the need for manual uploads or paperwork, and share it with the requesting business

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is the use of AI-powered technology to automatically extract, validate, and structure data from uploaded documents such as PDFs, images, or scanned paperwork. Our IDP solution ensures that document-based data is captured accurately and quickly, even from unstructured or complex formats.

No, each is a standalone solution and you can choose to enable one or both. Many businesses are only interested in document processing, and many are looking for both solutions depending on the data type. We also have many customers who opt for a waterfall setup for optimal conversion rates, where if an online account can’t be connected (e.g. the consumer forgot their password or they don’t have online account access), the consumer is then prompted to upload the appropriate document instead as a fallback.

MeasureOne delivers 100% accurate, verified data—whether through our connected accounts solution or our intelligent document processing solution. Both methods are fully standalone and reliable on their own, ensuring businesses receive clean, structured, and trustworthy data directly from the source—no manual review required.

MeasureOne uses AI to make data collection, extraction, and processing smarter and more efficient. AI is built directly into our platform, powering how we recognize document types, extract structured data, and reduce manual effort in verification workflows. This enables us to support any document type or data source—even those not yet onboarded—by using AI behind the scenes to access and process the data without delays.

No, we pull fresh data every time. We only get consent to pull data for that particular request. The same individual coming two different times to MeasureOne would be two new requests.

Businesses can setup a variety of fallback solutions to ensure optimal conversion rates on data access:

• If connecting an online account isn't possible, the user is prompted to upload a document.
• If document upload is not possible, businesses can still manually enter or upload alternative evidence for processing.

We are seeing near 100% participation in the process. There is also a strong precedent for consumers sharing access to much more sensitive data in return for some benefit to them.

Best practice with our customers is to use MeasureOne as the primary solution. If for whatever reason, a consumer is unable to connect to their online account, they have the ability to upload the requested documentation for us to process and provide the data directly to you. 

If for whatever reason the consumer still fails to complete the process, we recommend falling back to your current solution after a defined time frame. 

Results are instant once a consumer connects their online account to the MeasureOne platform.

Consumers, now more than ever, want to be involved in who collects their data and where it’s being shared.  In fact, in our own survey of consumers, 82% of consumers said being involved was important to them. 

The data points used in a background screening report may vary depending on the specific type of screening being conducted and the industry or company requesting the report. However, here are some common data points that may be included in a background screening report:

• Criminal history: This typically includes information about an individual's past criminal convictions, arrests, and other criminal records.
• Employment history and verification: This can include information about an individual's past and current employers, job titles, and length of employment.
• Education history and verification: This can include information about an individual's educational background, including degrees earned, institutions attended, and dates of attendance.
• Professional licenses and certifications: This can include information about any licenses or certifications held by the individual, such as medical licenses or professional certifications.

The time period covered by a pre-employment background check depends on several factors, including the type of information being checked, a company's policy, and any applicable laws or regulations. Some states have their own laws and regulations that restrict how far back a background check can go as well. Here are some general guidelines:

• Criminal history: Depending on the state and type of job, background checks may go back anywhere from 7 to 10 years or longer for certain serious offenses. Some states have "ban the box" laws that prohibit employers from asking about criminal history on job applications or conducting background checks until after a conditional job offer has been made.
• Employment history: Most background checks verify the past 7 to 10 years of employment history. However, employers may choose to go further back in time to verify certain positions or if they are looking for specific skills or experience.
• Education history: Background checks typically verify education history going back to high school, and may also verify college or university degrees earned.

Pre-employment background screening is an essential part of the hiring process that helps employers create a safe, compliant, and productive workplace. 

• Safety: Background screening can help employers identify potential risks in the hiring process. For example, a criminal history check can help identify applicants with a history of violence, theft, or fraud who may pose a threat to the workplace.
• Compliance: Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe workplace for their employees. Background screening helps them to comply with regulations such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other federal and state laws governing employment practices.
• Mitigating liability: Employers can be held liable for the actions of their employees. Background screening can help mitigate this risk by identifying potential issues before they become a problem.
• Hiring the right candidates: Background screening helps employers make informed hiring decisions by verifying an applicant's qualifications, experience, and credentials. This can help ensure that the candidate is a good fit for the position.
