Not exact matches
According to an academic research paper by Andrew Leigh, an economics professor from ANU;
applicants with
names that sound
Middle Eastern or Chinese need to submit a whopping 50 % more applications in order to enjoy the same number
of call backs as candidates that have an Anglo sounding
name.
However, the
names did not match up and the
middle initial
of the job
applicant matched only the first
name of the convicted sex offender.
Since SmartMove is powered by TransUnion, it can find more records that potentially match your
applicant by supplementing the
applicant's own information with data from TransUnion's databases (such as a
middle name, previous address, or date
of birth) to enrich record searches.
