Selection.com Background Check for NON-CERTIFIED EMPLOYEES

​The Diocese has chosen SELECTiON.COM, a Catholic faith-based background check company with offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, to conduct its criminal history checks.
 
To complete your Expanded Criminal History Check, please visit the following link: Selection.com Non-Certified Applicants
 
The cost for the expanded criminal history check, which is borne by the applicant, is approximately $33. Payment is accepted on the website.

Frequently Asked Questions

​What is included in the Diocese of Evansville’s Expanded Criminal History Check?
 
As per Indiana code 20-26-2-1.5, the Expanded Criminal History Check includes the following:
  1. A verification of the applicant’s identity (via Social Security Number trace)
  2. A search of records from each county in which the applicant has resided
  3. A search of the United States federal district court records from districts in which the applicant has resided
  4. A multi-state criminal database search that includes the sex offender registries of all fifty states (this multi-state database search is repeated quarterly for all employees and volunteers in the diocese)
 
A search of an Indiana statewide criminal database is also included.
  
Why do you need my Social Security Number?
 
The Social Security Number is used to verify the identity of the applicant, as well as to verify address history. The addresses discovered in the Social Security Number trace are used to determine the counties of residence in which to conduct the detailed county-level criminal history searches described in state law.
 
The release forms refer to credit reports. Is the diocese checking my credit history?
 
The Diocese of Evansville only runs a credit history report on applicants for positions whose job description includes access to significant funds. However, because of the Social Security Number trace that is used to verify identity and address history, the language related to credit is required to be included for all applicants by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
 
I already have a recent background check from applying for another job; do I still need to pay for a new one?
 
The diocese will accept an outside background check only if it meets the full requirements under state law as described above, and only if it is from the current hiring cycle. If you can provide a copy of a background check that you believe meets this criteria, please submit it to the Catholic Schools Office for review.
 
I do not have a credit card, or am uncomfortable with providing my credit card information online.
 
Our professional background check company, Selection.com, has several layers of security in place to protect your information in its Fastrax applicant entry system. However, if you are not comfortable submitting the information electronically, please contact the school where you are applying or the diocesan Safe Environment Coordinator at 812-424-5536 to assist you.
