Why Use a Background Check Company?

Employers are aware that they should conduct background checks of some sort on their prospective employees.  Depending on the level of employee they are considering, the might want to know: criminal history; credit history; judgments or liens; driving record; residence information; education and employment confirmation; and the list can go on and on.

Employers could probably gather all this information together themselves, but it would take a lot of time and effort to make it happen.  The smarter move would be to use a background check company that has the expertise and the contacts to get employers the information they need when they need it, and at a price that is a good value.

When shopping for a background check company, don’t be afraid to ask questions regarding where they obtain their information, how soon do they return the results to the employers, and are there any additional charges or fees.  A respectable background company will gladly provide this information to their potential clients so that there are no questions later.  The company conducting background checks, because of the volume they produce, are generally able to leverage good pricing and service from their suppliers and pass the speed and savings on to their own customers.

Also ask if there are any discounts for packages of services or for volume of requests.  Most any background check company will negotiate if there are large amounts of services requested by the customer.

Find out who at the background check company will be your point of contact and be comfortable that your questions will be answered by someone with experience and knowledge in conducting background checks.
