Description
Civil searches are conducted at the local county level and will help an employer identify if the applicant has any lawsuits brought against them by their former employer or any other person or entity. Civil records can assist in hiring decisions. An employee’s civil records can reveal whether they were involved with wrongful termination lawsuits, harassment, and contract violations.
Depending on the type of search conducted, civil court records may disclose the following:
- Lawsuits
- Judgments
- Tax liens
- Debt collection
- Land usage
- Interstate commerce (federal civil record search only)
- Bankruptcy filings (federal civil record search only)
