Pre-Employment Screening

USING FREE WEBSITES OR APPS TO CHECK A POTENTIAL EMPLOYEE’S BACKGROUND IS A GOOD START. BUT IT’S NO LONGER ENOUGH. WE CAN UNCOVER THE HIDDEN INFORMATION NOT VISIBLE TO THESE SERVICES, THAT THE INDIVIDUAL DIDN’T WANT YOU TO FIND.

Many businesses believe a quick search with an online background check company is adequate to screen employees. In fact, online services simply aggregate information that can be found online for free, put the information into a report, and then charge for the service. These reports don’t verify employment or education, turn up liens, judgements, bankruptcies or civil or criminal cases.

Furthermore, with the proliferation of sites such as Reputation Defender and similar services, individuals with something to hide can now cloak information from these online background checks and search engines.

Pickering Sullivan Investigations provides different levels of cost-effective pre-employment screening ranging from corporate board members and executives to front line employees – all based on level of responsibility and whether an employee will be handling sensitive information or money. Most importantly, we go beyond merely compiling data to provide an analysis of findings that empowers hiring managers to make informed decisions.
