Background Checks – What can a Private Investigator reveal?
Background checks are used by individuals and businesses, and allow you to view an individual’s criminal record, education and employment history and other past events, such as reasons for dismissal from previous jobs.
Within a job hiring situation, the reason for the checks is to provide the employer with confidence in the candidate they are hiring, after all, they are an important investment in the business and choosing the wrong individual could end up costing you precious time, organisational reputation and money. An investigator can also find out details of relationships and uncover any inappropriate action, they can observe and keep track of an individual’s movements and provide an overview of their character, activities and past.
What background checks do Private Investigators use?
