Background Checks, Online?
A
California private investigator is interviewed about "online"
background checks and their exactitude.
A
background check or background investigation is the process of
looking up official and commercial records about a person.
Background checks are ordered by the public, companies, and
government agencies. The following are reasons why a
background would be performed:
- Pre-Employment
Investigations
- Nanny/Babysitter Backgrounds
- New Neighbors
- New
Boyfriend/Girlfriend
- Business
Partners
The
following is a list of information usually provided in a background
check:
Often
individuals will go online when they want to conduct
a background check. There are several websites offering
background checks. These websites charge fees from $29.99 to
$199.99. Research has found that most of these websites have
outdated and misleading information. Often the reports are
computer generated and e-mailed to the customer with no personal
contact or explanation of the results. Many websites
purchase their information from information brokers and government
agencies on a monthly, sometimes quarterly basis. These
websites often have hidden legal small print about their
services. Research at www.RipOffReport.com revealed
that the top online background research company has 110 complaints
in the past couple of years.
In order to avoid these
types of problems, use a licensed private investigator. A
licensed private investigator will work with you on your
needs. Communication is essential when conducting an
investigation such as a background. The backgrounds can still
be ordered online like at www.InvestigatorForYou.com.
This site is owned by Gailey Associates, Inc. The lead
investigator, Justin Hodson, takes a personal approach to all
background checks. Justin Hodson was quoted as saying, "A
professional licensed investigator will be discreet and understands
the need of an individual to conduct a background
investigation." He continued to say, "The average price of a
background check should be between $300 to $600. The high
cost is due to the amount of diligence placed on a background
and the accuracy of the information provided." Mr.
Hodson closed in stating, "It is essential to hire a
licensed investigator to conduct a proper and true background
investigation." To contact Justin Hodson at Gailey Associates,
