Though many
companies request a SSN card for identification purposes, fraudulent documents
do exist. In fact, illegal immigrants and wanted fugitives often use them to
hide their true identities from authorities and potential employers.
A SSN Validation is
recommended for use on all applicants, prior to spending valuable time on
interviews or conducting more in-depth background checks. For example...
If your applicant indicates he was born in New York in 1961 and his Social
Security Number was issued in Idaho in 1957, there is a problem. Running a SSN Validation provides you with this information.
