Retail Theft Database

Workplace Theft and Fraud Exchange (ESTEEM^®)

Internal theft is a huge concern to many employers, especially those within the retail industry.

ChoicePoint's Workplace Theft and Fraud Exchange, a contributory database also known as ESTEEM, helps employers quickly identify applicants with a history of theft and/or fraud before a hiring decision is made.

Participating employers can join, allowing them to contribute their own cases and use the database as needed to help make faster hiring decisions. Employers can use this search as the first step in their screening process, allowing them to quickly and cost-effectively eliminate candidates from the hiring process that don't meet an employer's standards.

ChoicePoint's Workplace Theft and Fraud Exchange helps by providing employers with access to:

• Theft and shoplifting cases supplied by more than 75,000 business locations across the country.
• Internal data shared by other employers that may not be available anywhere else, specifically in court records.

The ChoicePoint Workplace Theft and Fraud Exchange database can be used as a stand-alone program or can be integrated as part of a more in-depth background screening process available through ChoicePoint. All data is verified prior to delivering results since trained researchers confirm every statement before results are released.
