Workforce Integrity for Higher Education
Your background check was clean on the day you hired them. That was 364 days ago. eMotive closes the gap with continuous, consent-based criminal monitoring that alerts HR within hours of a new arrest — not months. Dual face+name matching eliminates the false positives that plague name-only services.
The gap between annual background checks is where risk lives. eMotive eliminates that gap with continuous monitoring
Patented dual-factor matching resolves identity ambiguity and eliminates common-name false positives
The entire eMotive workflow operates within Fair Credit Reporting Act requirements for continuous background monitoring
When a new arrest record matches an enrolled individual by both name and face, your HR contact is alerted within hours — not months
