Question ID: 60285
We operate in the financial sector and need background checks
conducted on four potential employees. We want to use a reasonably
priced service with extraordinary qualifications. (Please note that we
want to use a professional service, as opposed to our conducting the
checks ourselves via on-line or database services.) Recommendations?

Hi sdchap-ga,

A good place you might want to check out is IntelNet Inc., which can
handle any of the following checks on potential employees:

• County-Level Criminal History Research 
• County-Level Prior Lawsuit Search 
• P.A.L. (Prior Address Locator) 
• Prior Employment Verification 
• Education Verification 
• Driving History (MVR) 
• Pre-Employment Credit Report 
• Professional License Verification 
• Technical Certification Verification 
• Federal District Criminal Court Search 
• Federal District Civil Court Search 
• Registered Sex Offender Search 
• OIG Exclusion Search 
• GSA Exclusion Search 
• Statewide Criminal Searches 
• Workers' Compensation Searches

There are obviously several different areas that you can check into
and you didn't provide a preference for any specific area so I thought
the entire list would be helpful.

As far as contacting them, they have a form you can fill out in order
to request further information about their pricing options. To save
you the trouble of signing up, I have given them a call requesting
pricing information (which they do not have readily available) and I
am currently waiting for their email response. I will post an answer
clarification with this information once I receive it.

INFORMATION ONLINE

Another company that appears to be economically feasible and reliable
(they claim checks can be completed within one hour) is Information
Online. Don't worry, this is considered "professional service" as per
your request. They offer three packages with varying amounts of
information. The packages range in price from $39 and $99 each, but
for your purposes I suggest you go for at least the middle package,
priced at $69, which includes:

Persons Full Name
Social Security Number*
Date of Birth*
Other Names They Have Used
Home Address (Current and Previous Home Addresses)
Property They Own (Homes, Condos, Land)
Vehicles They Own (Cars, Boats and Aircraft)
Professional Licenses (Doctors license, Electricians license)
Corporations They Own
Liens
Lawsuits
Judgments
Bankruptcies

http://www.checkemout.com/background_checks_01.html

This is just one of their packages, however, since you can request
checks on individual areas such as (these were the ones that seem to
be relevant to your cause):
Background Reports
Criminal Records
Corporation Records
Warrant Searches
Asset Searches
Employment Screens

In particular, the employment screens seem to be most useful, so here
is some information regarding those packages (quoted from the site):

PACKAGE A
 ONLY $39.00
 
Verify Former Employment 
Criminal Records Search (Basic) 
Statewide Felony Conviction Records search
Sexual Offender File Search
Sexual Predator File Search 

PACKAGE B
 ONLY $55.00
 
Verify Former Employment 
Criminal Records Search (Comprehensive) 
Complete Arrest Record (Including Misdemeanors & Felonies)
Statewide Felony Conviction Records Search
Sexual Offender File Search
Sexual Predator File Search 
   
Single items you may "add-on" 
1. Moving Violations Records $ 35.00 
2. Worker's Compensation Claims $ 25.00 
3. Drug Screens (Marijuana, Cocaine, PCP, Opiates, Speed)  $ 59.00  
4. National Comprehensive Background Report $ 79.00  
5. Verify Former Employment $ 20.00 
6. Criminal Records Search (Basic) $ 25.00 
7. Criminal Records Search (Comprehensive) $ 49.00

Here is a little more information about the company themselves:

If you have any problems understanding the information provided above
please post a clarification and I will respond. Also I have to note
that all such services use databases to some extent, but for the
services listed above they are not just returning the results of the
database query; they actually analyze that information to provide you
with comprehensive reports :)

As I mentioned above, I will be adding information regarding IntelNet
Inc. once I receive it.

Cheers!
