Corporate Background Checks

Often we are contracted by Corporations who are in the process of advertising for employees to fill professional positions.

Whilst they do the initial screening of the prospective employees or applicants themselves, it is when they get down to the shortlist that they employ our services as private investigators to check their background and police files.

It is much easier however, to use a private investigator to get this information rather than trying to do it themselves.

It is a time consuming process that many untrained people find difficult.

In the long run, they are given the peace of mind that their new employee “checks out” and has a reputable background.

Background Checks for Education and Child Workers

It goes without saying that employment screening within the education and child sectors are imperative. It is essential for you, as the employer, to provide a safe and trusting environment for both children and staff.

Our services have helped many schools and government to choose the right candidates for jobs, potentially saving the organisation many hundreds of thousands of dollars in dispute resolution.

Staffing is one of the hardest parts of any business so using our employment screening for your future childcare worker can prove to be a wise investment.

All workers within this industry have to be properly screened but it can be very hard for some employers and managers to perform them themselves.

Private Background Checks

For Private Matters, background checks are common, e.g. when someone’s sister is getting married and the family suspect the new fiancée for various reasons.

This is when they engage a private investigator to check on the fiancée's background to see if he is legitimate. Quite often these checks relate to assets, wealth or employment, where something seems amiss and he isn’t convincing the family that he is legitimate.

Tips and Advice about Background Checks

If you have never done a background check before, it can be difficult but also time consuming for the untrained person. Australia and Queensland have many laws and regulations making some of the information hard to obtain. This is to protect each individual person. It often requires federal or state police involvement.

See these websites for more information about police checks or corporate information. The police have a lot of information that can help you to get a good understanding about many aspects of background checks. It is important to understand there is a certain process that needs to be followed as well as application fees.

ASICS’s website brings you lot of information about a business and its past.
