By Andy - www.tracepeople.co.uk
There's more than a few times in everyone's life when they need a background check done to confirm or rule out possible fears or complications. Most people will only need a private investigator like myself once or twice in their lifetime. The most common circumstances that lead people to want to conduct a background check are:-
1) Due Diligence - Are you about to buy a business or commit a lot of money and time to some goal? You need to know all the angles before you start investing.
2) Cheating Partner - In my career as an investigator

4 Reasons Your Cleaning Company Needs to Do Background Checks
Chances are your cleaning company employees work in buildings
after hours and have access to areas that may hold confidential
information or valuables. How can you be sure the employees you
hire can be trusted when working unsupervised? Paying close
attention during the interview will help, but another tool you
can use is the employee background check.
More companies than ever are doing background checks on new
employees. There are several reasons for this:
1. According to the Society of Human Resource Management in
Alexandria, Virginia, 37% of all applicants put some false
information on applications and resumes and 65% of resumes are
enhanced or exaggerated.
2. Lawsuits for "negligent hiring" are on the rise. If one of
your employees hurts someone you can be held liable.
3. Current events, such as high profile child abuse and
abduction cases, the terrorist attacks of 9-11, and the scandals
of executives have created concerns when recruiting and hiring
new employees.
4. Federal and state laws require background checks of people
working in certain situations, including working with children,
the elderly and disabled individuals. Plus some cleaning
contracts will require you to perform background checks on your
employees if you want to gain the contract.
The types of background checks performed can vary, but they
typically include:
· Employment verification
· Education verification
· Criminal history
· Driving and motor vehicle records
· Credit history
· Military background
· Verifying references
· Drug testing
Requiring prospective employees to complete a comprehensive job
application will also help in pointing out gaps in employment
and other questionable details. Make sure your application form
requires the following information: the applicant's full legal
name, date of birth, Social Security Number (SSN), dates and
places of previous employment, and any training or educational
certificates received. It is also important to verify the
person's identification. Make a copy of the person's driver's
license and social security card to keep on file.
Background checks can be a complicated practice as different
states allow you to collect different types of information. You
are required to get written consent from the employee before
performing background checks. Remember to treat all potential
employees in the same manner by requiring a standard background
check. If you run a random criminal background check on only one
or selected employees, you may have created the basis for a
discrimination suit against your company.
If you are uncertain about what you can legally do when
researching an employee's background, consider hiring a firm
that specializes in performing background checks. The price for
hiring a firm varies depending on the services and how extensive
of a background check they perform.
You as an employer can be held liable for accidents and crimes
committed by your employees. Doing background checks can provide
you with peace of mind as well as a valuable marketing tool.
Letting your customers and potential customers know you perform
background checks can be that extra hook that lands the account.

There is no disputing the importance of conducting background
checks in today's society. The benefits of comprehensive
background checks are felt not only by business owners but by
the individual customer. From CEO's to housewives more and more
people are beginning to view background checks as a pro-active
risk management strategy. The question many are asking is, "can
I afford not to conduct a background check?" "Can I afford not
to protect myself, my family, or my business when the cost of
acquiring such information is becoming increasingly more cost
effective?" What used to cost hundreds, even thousands of
dollars to uncover can now be quickly and easily obtained at
