What Is Provided In A Background Check?

A background check is a review of a persons past and professional history. These checks are conducted in order to find information that could not otherwise be public. A background check may include information such as: bankruptcies, liens, judgements, criminal history or record, professional licenses, political affiliation, permits, address history, phone numbers, email addresses and of course names they have had or been associated with. Much of this information is found when private investigators are established with companies such as TLO, IDI, Delvepoint, LexisNexis, Tracers, etc. There are many platforms used by private detectives to find this information. In order to have access to these platforms, agencies must have proper private investigations licenses, carry proper insurance, bonds and have their place of business inspected by the platform they use. The inspection is conducted to ensure that confidentiality and legality measures are in place.

When Would You Get A Background Check?

Private persons or companies in many cases would require a background check for various reasons:

New tenants in a residence
Business opportunities
New employees
Professional History
Locates or Skip Tracing

How Is The Information Found On A Background Check Verified?

During the course of a background check, the information is verified by the investigator using various other tools and methods. Example: if you were to attempt to locate a person and verify phone number and address, a pretext call is often conducted to verify this information. Investigators may interview other people as well in order to properly confirm information found on a background check. Having as much information as possible, makes the background investigation much easier.

What Information Could I Provide The Investigator?

Name and date of birth if possible are always the go-to. This information although basic, is great in finding the person that you may be searching for. If the name and date of birth are common, this may pose the only challenge. Many of times we are able to pin point the information with a last known location. Some additional information that may be useful for a private investigator during a background check may be:

SSN
Known Relatives
Locations lived or visited for extended periods of time
Prior work history

5 Types Of Background Checks And Why They Are Useful

Tenant Screening

Have you decided to place your house on the market for renters? In many cases home owners or management companies like to look into a person’s history in order to see if they are fit to live at the residence. A background check or other services can provide insight on prior liens and judgements as well as criminal history in order gauge a tenant and their personal responsibility.

Business Opportunities or Investments

Are you looking to invest in a company or provide shares or ownership to another person? Investigators are great at looking into a person’s profile, and obtaining additional information on a subject’s day-to-day activities. A database run background check may not provide all the information a client may be searching for. Information such as social media and how a person carries themselves outside of professional interactions at the workplace or in their free time. Additionally, information found on the people they may interact with could impact your decision to proceed with either of the following.

New Hire Employee

A new employee’s interview went great, but do we know enough about them? A private detective may conduct a background check on a new hire to gather information on prior employment. Many employers want to see if you have retained employment, or jumped from employer to employer. In many cases, job hopping can be a tall tale sign of a new employee’s considerations for your company. Although something new may be found, it is always best if the background check investigator fact-checks his or her findings. Does the employee have financial problems? If so, will those issues collide with the duties they perform and will they be trustworthy?

Professional History

Has the investigator confirmed education and past employers? Had an OSINT investigation been conducted to confirm any dealings with potential competitors in the same market? These are all crucial and may even aid an OPM investigator when conducting a background for a security clearance. This may align with conducting a new hire investigation, as you want to see if the person being investigated has had many short-term jobs, been fired, or their resume does not align with the facts found.

Person Locates

Have you lost a friend? Have you attempted to search for them or a loved one with no luck? Is a debt owed to you? A licensed private investigator may assist you in finding someone you wish to contact. In many cases the information that you have may just be enough. A person locate can be conducted with only the minimum requirements; name and date of birth. The information found may be insightful, showing you where they have made their mark, giving you an idea if you even wish to pursue them. Private investigators are key in finding lost persons, as the information found on the internet may not be beneficial, relevant or updated.
