Amicus Research was founded by employment defense lawyers.
Years of trial experience have taught us two simple facts: (1) successful companies grow deeper pockets, making them targets for lawsuits; and (2) the best way to prevail in most lawsuits is to win before the lawsuit ever begins. That sounds difficult, but it can be easy if you know what steps to take.
Step 1: Diligent Data Collection
We have direct access to the nation's most comprehensive private criminal and civil records databases, as well as every available government database. We also have nationwide network of courthouse researchers who are available at a moment's notice, and thousands of specimen collection centers for substance abuse testing.
Our inhouse research analysts undergo continuous training in regulatory compliance, criminal and civil records interpretation, and employment law. They're directly supervised by licensed attorneys. No other vendor can make that claim. Amicus Research is also the only firm with sufficient expertise to risk giving you a straight answer—Pass or Fail—based on the available data and your criteria. And we're the only company that will help its clients defend their decisions.
Step 2: Expert Analysis and Straight Answers
Amicus Research will save you time and reduce your company's exposure to liability by helping you create a defensible decision matrix that helps ensure unbiased, systematic and efficient decisionmaking. This eliminates several arguments used by plaintiffs' lawyers. It also helps you avoid having to carefully review each item in every background report. Instead, our research analysts will apply your decision matrix to the available data and provide a plain, unbiased indication of whether the candidate meets your criteria.
We help our clients define their needs, and then we customize our processes to suit those needs. Many clients choose to receive copies of all reportable records. Others choose to receive our summary reports, and still others prefer to review only the reports with "hits". It's up to you.
Step 3: Managing Compliance
There's no point in going through all this effort only to end up getting sued for an accidental breach of FCRA, DPPA, ADA, Title VII, or similar state statute. We haven't just read about these statutes—we have lived them in the courtroom. It is this experience that helps us know "where the landmines are." We can handle all required communications and documents for you for less than it would cost to do it yourself.
We do our work quickly, correctly, and for a fair price.
