Omissions/Incomplete Applications & Resumes
Many employees will fail to list their former married names, maiden names, or previous counties that they have lived. We run a complete check to ensure that all areas are searched for what you request, and also that nobody slips through the cracks by searching under a "Jane Doe" with no record, however the same person with a former name of "Jane Smith" had 3 felonies. Believe us, it happens quite often with other companies so we take the worry out of it for you!

Workplace Violence/Safety

Employers can be held liable for employees who commit acts of violence while at work, especially if the employer failed to check their past A typical week of processing 200 background checks, roughly 17% have a charge and or conviction related to violence, that is 34 people! Can you accept this in your business?

Embezzelment

Could it be from your till, safe, etc.
