Hamilton County Ohio | County Court Records

Hamilton County, home to the city of Cincinnati, has a population of about 820,000. Adjacent counties in Ohio include Butler, Clermont, and Warren. Also nearby are Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties in Kentucky and Dearborn County in Indiana. Major Hamilton County employers include Kroger, Procter & Gamble, and Macy’s. 

Home to a fast-growing economy, Hamilton County frequently attracts newcomers. Regular growth provides a fresh supply of talented job-seekers to employers throughout the area. Relying on a hiring process involving just applications and interviews, however, is not wise for employers. Learning what you need to know about job-seekers requires more information.

Acquiring that information demands criminal background checks. Without looking into this data, your business cannot adequately safeguard against the liabilities created by claims of negligent hiring.

Effective background checks always begin in your backyard: check local records first, such as those maintained by Hamilton County courts. Evaluate applications against any information that you uncover, but don’t forget that a clean record here does not mean a clean record everywhere. Looking at records throughout Ohio should be your next move.

As you avoid negligence in hiring, do not succumb to discriminatory practices when using background checks. While Ohio has no “ban the box” rules applicable to private employers, federal laws remain in force. These statutes include the FCRA, which mandates applicant consent for background checks, and the Civil Rights Act, which defines employment discrimination. Always ensure that your hiring procedures comply with these legal obligations.
