In the modern world, Criminal background checks are very common. It’s important to check backgrounds before renting out an apartment, applying for a job, or hiring a nanny. There are many options for background checks but the best one is to hire a private investigator like Danny Boice.

When most people think of a background check they believe it’s a simple criminal history check. But actually a background check is much more than that. It’s a process of finding the best candidate by looking at, his criminal records, but also education and employment history, references, civil records, etc. Each is a very important piece of the puzzle.

Are background Checks Necessary?

A number of industries, especially those that require the handling of other people’s personal and private information, require background screenings. These include the home healthcare, financial, and insurance industries among others. But whether your business operates in or provides services to these industries or not, there are still many reasons to run them.

Do I need Permission for Background Checks?

Yes, it’s important to get permission. If you want to order and review any kind of background check in order to determine somebody's eligibility for employment, you need to ask their permission. There are two forms that must be completed by the applicant, the authorization, and the disclosure. The FCRA place restriction on what can be reported what can’t be.    

Information required for Background Checks

The basics information you must have before running background checks includes Candidate's full name (first, middle and last name), full date of birth and Social Security Number. Social Security Number can’t be helpful in looking for criminal records, but it may be used for other parts of background check.

Limitations of Screening

The FRCA restrict you to search for 10 years records of bankruptcies and 7 years of civil lawsuits, judgments, tax liens, collection amounts and any other adverse information. Criminal records can be checked further more.

The Easiest Way for Background Check

There are many tools that can be used to check backgrounds, but you might not be able to use them properly or might not have enough time to do it yourself. So, the best and easiest way is to hire a private investigator like Danny Boice, to get the job done for you.
