Background Checks.

What are Background Checks?

A background check is a detailed review of someone’s past that a person or company uses to verify that an individual is who they claim to be.
There are different elements of background investigations, including:
• Education verification
• Employment history
• Employment references
• Military service records
• Professional/personal license searches
• Property rental/ownership records
• Landlord references
• Credit Report and Credit Score
• Asset location
• Social media search
• Driving record and traffic violations
• Civil Court filings
• Sex Offender Registry (when applicable)
• Criminal record history/Criminal records search/Arrest reports/Warrants

Most of the time, when people think about background checks, they think of criminal records. But not all background checks are created equal. Background checks have different purposes.

Different Types of Background Checks.

Employment Background Checks

When you consider hiring an employee, it may be essential to know more information than what is readily available on a typical job application. A background check will tell you if the candidate has any criminal convictions or accusations of theft in the past that could be of potential harm to your business.

Background Checks on Potential Dates, Partners and/or Spouses

Background checks may not reveal every secret, but they can uncover certain red flags like previous convictions or bankruptcies, indicating future fidelity or financial stability problems.

Employment background checks will also let you know if they have an extensive history of traffic violations or unpaid taxes, possibly putting the prospective employee at greater risk for embezzlement. Results indicating a violent past may indicate a safety risk for other employees.

The depth of an employment background check depends on how much responsibility the job entails. Running a background check on your employee will give you peace of mind knowing they are honest and reliable.

For example, suppose the position requires contact with children or older adults. In that case, you must know whether your applicant has any previous convictions for pedophilia or other sex or violent crimes. Likewise, if the employee will be driving vehicles, you must know about their driving history and any criminal record for DUI offenses.

How do you find out these things? This is where background checks come in handy! A company like ours will research an individual’s work history and verify their identity with public records before giving you a full report on what we have found out about your job applicant.

Background Checks on Potential Dates, Partners and/or Spouses.

A background check on a partner is essential. Online crimes and personal profile forgeries occur with growing frequency; it is more important than ever to be safe and do your research before getting too personally involved.

Suppose someone has been convicted of a crime in the past. The criminal offense needs to be disclosed on the application for a marriage license, with most states requiring applicants to list all past felonies or serious misdemeanors they have committed within five years of the date of application.

Does your potential date/partner/spouse have a restraining order? Or maybe some other type of court order or financial lien against them? Are they the age they state? Are they considered a minor? Perhaps they are still married to someone else?
