VIRTUS Training  and User Account FAQs 

 

 

 

  • How do I initiate background checks?
    • Background check administrators should always use the  Fastrax Applicant Entry which ensure the legal requirements for the release are met.
    • Provide applicants the Archdiocesan Background Check Instructions and your own parish/school form to obtain the employee/volunteer legal name and email only (do not request any other sensitive information).
    • With Applicant Entry, all the legal consent forms are provided online – DO NOT create your own consent form as this will likely not meet legal standards.
    • If you will not use Applicant Entry, only use the official Selection/Fastrax consent form and provide all FCRA rights documents. DO NOT use an outdated or self-made consent form.
    • Contact SafeEnvironment@archden.org or HR@archden.org with any questions
