Private Investigator Connecticut - A Background Investigation Firm At Large Scale

Background Checks vs. Background Investigations.. Failing to understand differences in the level of due diligence can have dire consequences.

Most Businesses perform cursory Background Checks that require all prospective applicants employees be vetted to verify their education level, vocational experience, prior employment, and local agency criminal records checks. While somewhat effective, they are limited in scope as they do not provide in depth, state-by-state, record searches or include documented criminal charges beyond a specific time frame of 5 years. As an example, our firm conducted Background Investigations on several employees of a distribution company after large shipments of inventory went missing. While the company had conducted Background Checks and the employee’s information seemed to be correct, the data provided was for information collected in the state in which they currently resided.

Our follow up Background private investigator connecticutrevealed that several of the employees who were suspected of committing the thefts had previously resided in a nearby state and were known convicted felons, one of whom had served time for attempted murder.

The employer notified the local police department and we were jointly able to develop additional information regarding the stolen shipments and determined some of the goods were taken to a storage facility, and then systematically sold to a discount store. In all, even after recovering a large portion of the stolen inventory, the losses to the business exceeded 100,000.00, a steep price to pay because of ineffective background checks conducted in the first instance.

This case is one of many that underscore the need to conduct comprehensive Background Investigations rather than on-line Background Checks that rely on outdated or questionable resources.
