Background Investigations

Do you know who you're hiring?

Every day headlines across the country highlight the sometimes dire consequences that may result when prospective employees backgrounds aren’t thoroughly checked, yet fewer than 35% of employers are currently screening their applicants. 

90% of all employers who do background investigations don’t check multiple States and Federal Criminal District Court Records. This allows employees that have been convicted in another State or of a Federal crime to relocate to your area without detection.  The question then becomes, is it prudent to limit your background investigations to a $20.00 on online internet only search company?

 How Poor Background Checks Can Put You at Risk.

Most applicants have lived in at least three different counties in the 10 years. 
Searching for criminal records only in the county where the applicant lives today may mean ignoring a broad criminal history in the applicant’s past. All counties associated with an applicant’s past should be researched in a professional background investigation. 

Criminals know how to hide their past. 
Applicants with criminal histories often lie about their identity and previous residence locations. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America. Complete identity verification should be the first step in any professional background investigation.

All Misdemeanors are not minor. 
Assault, theft, weapons charges, prostitution, drugs, and driving while intoxicated are all examples of offenses that can be classified as misdemeanors. All professional background investigations should include misdemeanor and felony criminal research.
