IntelliCorp Records Inc., a nationwide provider of pre-employment screening services, and Markel Insurance Company have teamed up to provide camps, childcare centers, private schools and social service agencies with accurate and thorough criminal background checks of all employees and volunteers.

Markel customers will be able to perform background checks on prospective employees and volunteers through the IntelliCorp Web site. IntelliCorp, a unit of ISO, offers an on-line, searchable database of more than 230 million records from federal, state, local and private sources.
