Corra Group Expands Services to Include Paperless Electronic I-9s, Enhancing Background Checks and Employment Screening

Say goodbye to inefficient and cumbersome paper-based I-9 forms with Corra Group’s new electronic I-9 offering.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Corra Group, a leading provider of background investigations and pre-employment screening solutions, is excited to announce the addition of electronic I-9 services to its comprehensive suite of offerings. Paperless electronic I-9 reinforces Corra Group’s commitment to providing clients with the most robust and accurate background screening solutions available in the industry, while focusing on its goal of providing a user-friendly candidate experience.

Nick Gustavson, Cofounder of Corra Group, stated, “We understand the challenges that employers face in today’s complex hiring environment. Our electronic I-9 service is a valuable addition to our suite of screening solutions, making it easier for organizations to comply with employment and immigration laws and create a trustworthy workforce.”

The Form I-9, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is a critical document required by employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of every employee hired in the United States. Ensuring compliance with I-9 requirements is essential for organizations to maintain legal and ethical hiring practices. Instead of filling out cumbersome paper forms, Corra Group’s new electronic I-9 service makes it easier to verify employee eligibility to work in the United States. Electronic I-9 forms can be signed digitally by both employees and employers, with guided workflow and real-time error checking. Corra Group’s system tracks all I-9 deadlines, providing employers with the ability to monitor and track the status of all active I-9 cases, with weekly alerts pushed to users and easy re-verification process and date reminders. The service also offers one-click access to analytics and reporting features for a streamlined and efficient experience.

The expansion is fully integrated with E-Verify, the Department of Homeland Security’s Electronic Verifying system. I-9 forms completed on Corra Groups’ platform can be instantly submitted to E-Verify. By integrating with E-Verify, an electronic paper trail is also created that can confirm the legitimate status of all employees and satisfy an audit quickly and easily.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, employers were granted the ability to conduct a virtual review of I-9 documents. As of August 1, 2023 remote verification of I-9 is only available to qualified E-Verify users. Corra Group’s I-9 system can be used remotely and will integrate with an employer’s active E-Verify account.

Corra Group can help navigate the new remote I-9 verification process and remains dedicated to helping employers make informed hiring decisions while ensuring the safety and security of their workplaces. Clients are supported each step of the way including account setup, integrating their background screening programs with existing I-9 verification processes, and keeping up to date with changes in Federal and State law as we move closer to mandatory federal verification.

Unmasking Safety: The Crucial Role of Background Checks in the Halloween Season

Do You Really Know Who Your Kids Are Interacting With?

The Halloween season is upon us, and it is a time filled with festive activities, celebrations, and fun costumes. It is also a time when children may encounter many unfamiliar adults dressed in costumes. To safeguard the well-being of our youngsters, here are some ways to ensure the safety and success of your business this period:

Safety at School Halloween Events
Many schools host Halloween events or parties for their students. The safety and well-being of the children and families attending these events are paramount. Background checks on volunteers and chaperones help ensure that these gatherings remain secure and enjoyable.

Ensuring Trustworthy Costume Shop Employees
As Halloween approaches, costume shops across the country gear up for a surge in business. They hire seasonal employees to assist customers in finding the perfect costumes and accessories. Ensuring that these employees are trustworthy is essential, especially when children are involved. Background checks on costume shop staff help maintain a safe and reliable shopping environment for families.

Haunted Houses and Safety
Haunted houses are popular Halloween attractions that rely heavily on the trustworthiness of their actors and staff. To create an authentic experience, visitors interact closely with the performers. For the safety and enjoyment of guests, background checks are often conducted to ensure that everyone involved in the haunted house operation can be trusted.

Securing Community Events
Halloween witnesses an uptick of up to 50% in certain criminal activities, such as vandalism, pranks, and petty crimes. It is also a time for community gatherings, trick-or-treating, and festive events. Conducting background checks, particularly criminal checks, on those who participate in planning and hosting such events is a vital step to safeguard the participants and guarantee a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Year-Round Halloween Businesses
Beyond the season itself, some businesses and attractions such as theme parks and entertainment venues, incorporate Halloween-themed elements year-round. For these establishments, conducting background checks on their regular employees is crucial to maintain the overall security and quality of the visitor experience.

The importance of background checks during the Halloween season may not be immediately obvious, but they play a vital role in making Halloween celebrations safe and enjoyable. Corra Group understands these critical correlations and can help.

Corra Group is helping its clients recruit international employees by offering a comprehensive array of international background checks. As more employers seek to recruit and onboard international employees, Corra Group, the El Segundo, California headquartered background checking service has increased its services, globally.

“We see more of our clients recruiting from global resources,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Gordon Basichis. “With the labor shortage in most industries, our clients need to get these candidates onboarded as quickly as possible. We work with our clients to assist them with the employment screening element of the onboarding process.

“Corra Group offers international criminal background checks and civil background checks in most countries,” said Basichis. “We also offer international education verification and international employment verification, as well as professional reference services. Despite the pitfalls affecting many countries right now, between COVID spikes and frequent labor shortages, we are still managing to complete searches, including education verification.”

Basichis cautioned that Corra Group can encounter delays in education when many schools are either closed temporarily or short-staffed and administrative staff, such as registrars, are working remotely. He noted that the Russia-Ukrainian Conflict, as it has with various supply chain materials, is creating difficulties in several countries. He added that as with most things there are often workarounds, and the goal is to keep employers on their staffing schedules.
