Background Screening Analyst
Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Record match assessmentTwo court records compared with an applicant's identifiers before reporting: one verified on name, full date of birth and address, one that fails the match and stays off the report, with the reasons recorded.
- Reportability reviewA draft report's four items checked against the FCRA seven-year limits, the $75,000 salary exception and a state rule: two old items removed, one conviction held for the state rule, and one reported.
- Dispute reinvestigation recordAn applicant's dispute of a conviction reinvestigated within the FCRA's 30 days: the court file checked for the defendant's identifiers, the record found to belong to someone else and deleted, everyone told, and the cause found.
- Weekly quality reportA week's quality review of 120 screening reports: three errors, each traced to the step that allowed it and fixed at that step, and the accuracy figure reported with its causes.

Here is what that looks like for background screening analyst.
