Persona Plus

Fast, Economical Support for Informed Hiring Decisions

PERSONA PLUS SM fills a critical need for hiring information that delivers superior decision support at an affordable price.

PERSONA PLUS returns an applicants complete name, ID, address and last reported employment history with on-line speed -- plus valuable insight into financial relationships - all in a concise, easy-to-read report that complies with state and federal Fair Credit Reporting Act requirements. Used as a stand-alone screening tool or as a cost-effective supplement to more in-depth background investigations, PERSONA PLUS offers these key benefits and advantages: 

  • Valuable Identity Confirmation. PERSONA PLUS confirms an applicant's name, (including additional names or aliases), Social Security number, immediate address, and last reported employment history, providing valuable protection against inaccurate information.  
  • Financial Performance Insight. PERSONA PLUS reveals the scope of an applicant's financial relationships and how well debt obligations are met - providing valuable risk assessment when evaluating candidates for financially sensitive positions.
  • Additional Fraud Protection. PERSONA PLUS offers extra protection against application fraud with Equifax's SAFESCAN* option - the exclusive nationwide service that warns you when addresses, Social Security numbers or telephone numbers may not be what they should be.  
  • Optional Social Security Number Validation. An "Social Security number verified" indicator is optionally available to confirm whether or not several major Equifax customers have provided the exact Social Security number for the same identity. The Equifax "Social Security number certified" indicator is not meant to imply the Social Security number has been validated through the Social Security Administration.
  • Optional Telephone Listings. PERSONA PLUS can provide the consumer's most recently reported current and former telephone numbers - offering additional verification capabilities.  
  • Optional On-Line Directory Information. On-Line Directory provides names, telephone numbers and if requested, the addresses of companies listed in the inquiry, collection item and trade sections. It saves time by automatically giving you the information needed to instantly contact companies that have had recent activity with our applicant.  
  • Economical Nationwide Coverage. To verify application information, PERSONA PLUS draws on a national database of 190 million consumer files compiled from sources throughout America - helping establish accuracy quickly and economically.  
  • Fast, Easy Access. PERSONA PLUS offers instant on-line access via DAT or PC, quickly delivering key hiring information.
