- Your Background Check Resource
Our four-step process helps clients hire the most
trustworthy employees available in the market.
The
majority of our clients prefer our standard four-step pre-screening process which truly gets
to the heart of their applicants honesty, capabilities, and attitudes toward
employment and their suitability for the advertised positions.We are able to provide our clients with
detailed information concerning each applicant that they are not able to get
through traditional records checks because we convince the applicants to be
completely candid and honest with our investigators during the process.We want to put
The First Step The Personal History
Statement:
The
applicant completes a Personal History Questionnaire that identifies
Education and Work
Skills
Employment History
and References
Residential History
Character
References
Patterns of Illegal
Activities
Substance Abuse
Driving History
Integrity
As
the applicant completes this step, they are reminded that the remaining steps
of this pre-screening session will uncover false statements or omissions and we
stress the importance of complete candor in their answers.
The Second Step The Psychological
Survey:
The
applicant completes a standardized psychological inventory.This validated technique by NCS Reid London
House corroborates positive and negative characteristics detected in the first
step.Through a series of general
questions, this technique measures the applicant's attitudes toward honesty,
drug avoidance, workplace violence and safety consciousness.It also:
Gauges the
applicant's truthfulness during the first step
Identifies derogatory
attitudes that typically affect job performance
Predicts the
applicant's ability to relate to your customers
The Third Step The Integrity Interview:
The
applicant is interviewed by our investigators who are professionally trained in
the Reid Interview and Interrogation Technique which is recognized by law
enforcement professionals as one of the most effective techniques designed to detect
deceit and dishonesty. The candid
information elicited from the applicants during this step yields information
that is not typically found in applications or through traditional records
checks.Our investigators continually
stress the importance of being candid and remind the applicant that our
investigation will corroborate or dispute their information through interviews
of previous employers, character references and a search of public records.When advised of our corroboration process,
many applicants become more reticent concerning their personal history and
clarify previous claims or indiscretions asserted in their applications.
The Fourth Step:
Upon
completion of the applicant testing and interview phase, we corroborate the
applicant's information through a series interviews and records checks.In most instances, we are able to notify our
clients within the same day and follow up with a detailed investigative report
within one to three business days.
Many
of our clients prefer to add additional services such as drug screening, credit
reports, driving history reports, education verification, and other available
services for an even more comprehensive background report.
