Abstract: A system and method for systematically managing a detailed policy of appropriate action for acquired background data that may contain predetermined discrepancies. A process evaluates discrepancy data against an adaptable policy mapping engine and provides an action set for further processing of a candidate for employment. A notification mapping engine identifies the appropriate steps to be taken, persons to be notified and message to be delivered to candidate. The two mapping engines can be customized to a specific employer and are subsequently adaptable to reflect changes suggested by a report generated by the system.
