How can I find previous addresses or counties without asking the applicant to write them down?
• The easiest way to find previous addresses and counties is to request the SSN from the applicant and then to conduct what is called an Address History search or a Social Security Number Trace. Note that reputable providers will include this into a package and do the work for you by taking the counties that are revealed and searching some or all for criminal records. Many employers like to ask applicants to write down past addresses, as an additional trustworthiness test to compare gaps in the resume and results from the Address History.
