Web site CandidateCheck.Net provides background check services on politicians
by Joseph Ernest August 26, 2010
Newscast Media -- CandidateCheck LLC today announced the availability of www.CandidateCheck.net, a website designed to allow candidates the opportunity to have their backgrounds and credentials confirmed by an independent third party source. Authorized by the candidate and conducted by its exclusive partner TalentWise, the background check will consist of a 10 year criminal record search, 10 year civil record search, 10 year employment verification, post-secondary education verification, professional license verification, and a national sex offender registry search. Candidates will have an opportunity to review and dispute the results of their background check prior to public release. Voters will see a summary report of any candidate that completes the check and can track who has been checked.
The organization was founded by David Doud and Todd Owens with a mission of leveraging workforce best practices to increase voter trust and confidence.
According to Doud, "Because formal background screening is not a part of our election process, our democracy suffers. Voters' are left to their own devices to sort through the campaign noise and separate fact from fiction in choosing their candidates. If we can better inform just one voter through the adoption of this proven private sector practice, let's do it for the U.S.A."
"Over the past 20 years, pre-employment background screening has become an accepted, if not expected, part of the hiring process," said Todd Owens, general manager of TalentWise, a leading provider of employment screening solutions to thousands of businesses nationwide. "By conducting an appropriate level of due diligence, employers can improve workforce productivity and reduce the risk to their financial assets, their people, and their customers. We are pleased to assist CandidateCheck in its effort to extend the same level of due diligence to candidates for public office."
About Candidate Check: CandidateCheck was founded in 2010 by David Doud with the aim of building voters' trust in political candidates. Active in politics, David was surprised that in today’s information rich world, there still didn’t exist a place where voters could go for impartial verification about the men and women running for public office. Instead, what voters are faced with every election cycle is a deluge of information from all manner of sources, all of which are inherently biased. Add to this the almost daily news of a breaking political scandal and voters’ skepticism increases and potential candidates are discouraged from participating in such a grueling process.
