Know the truth about someone, Quickly, Easily and Affordably!

There is no longer any doubt about the need for pre-employment screening services in America and applicants from all walks of life now know and expect that a background check will be performed on them when the seek new employment. The only real issue left is the selection of a background check firm to assist you in the process.

The pre-Employment Screening division of DS Investigations was established because of the large number of clients who expressed concern over the lack of quality, comprehensive employee background check companies available to assist employers. Their concern was that most of these companies are run by computer “experts” who are looking to sell information gathered from computer databases rather than investigating an applicant’s background at the source. These same pre-employment screening firms are big on disclaimers and short on results.
We are NOT computer programmers looking to make easy money off of yet another employee background check website.

We are licensed private detectives. We know where to go to find information that is accurate, documented and verifiable.

This helps to keep your existing employees safe and helps to eliminate erroneous reporting on your applicant’s information.
We are NOT is an instant online employee background check company.

We certainly understand that having access to all information instantly is a great concept and would make life very easy for our clients, but the reality is that it is not possible to locate your applicant’s records through any computer system with the simple click of a mouse. There are no National databases of criminal records or secret websites that contain people’s “real” job history. One day we may have those options, but not today. Instead, what is possible is to work with a pre employment screening agency that knows how to conduct real background investigations quickly and affordably. Our clients have the same need for fast turnaround and high levels of customer service that you do.

Nationwide Employee Screening, Pre-Employment Screening and Background Checks

"We can’t afford to hire trouble. DSI makes sure we don’t!"

The facts are clear. An alarming number of resumes and employment applications contain false and misleading information. Background checks, pre-employment screening and employee screening are vital to protecting your company and your employees.

Altered dates, false claims, inflated salaries, inflated titles and responsibilities, false or incomplete prior employment history, false separation reasons and undisclosed criminal histories are some of the most frequently encountered problems on resumes. More disturbing is the number of unqualified applicants who have secured false credentials to get a job.

As an employer or human resources professional, you already know how much damage a bad hire can cause and how difficult it is to get rid of them. Accordingly, it only makes sense to hire the right people and avoid business disruptions, inappropriate behavior, endangering co-workers, liability, litigation, theft & fraud by employing a quality employee-screening agency.

The problem you face is, which firm do you entrust to condcut your background checks and employee screening? There are many companies offering these services on the web, but if you take a good look at them, many are simply databrokers and really offer you nothing more than information they purchase. This is particularly ture with regard to the INSTANT RESULTS websites that claim to conduct a background check. In reality, all these companies do is purchase old public record data and dump it into a database. When you, the customer, enter an employees information into their system, it spits out that old data. No human is conducting anything, let alone really checking out the employees background. At DSI, a private investigator is personally conducting your employee screening background and providing you with more than old outdated records. We also review and question the findings at every step and provide you with our expert opinion on what we find.

Beware of the “Instant” Background Check

Most of the “Background Check” web sites that you will find on the internet are nothing more than sites that automatically search through FREE public record sources or buy old outdated information and resell it to you at 20 times the cost.

What they do NOT do is to provide you with an actual back ground check. This is particularly true for the “Instant background check” companies.

The results they give you:
Fast but meaningless data or data that is comprised of information you likely already knew. Ironically, they forget to tell you that there is little or no chance that their background check will find anything meaningful.

The companies that sell this type of information are not licensed private investigators and cannot give you the accuracy you want.

THERE IS NO NATIONAL CRIMINAL RECORD DATABASE available to anyone!

If a company is offering this type of background check to you, they have created their own “national” criminal database which is not reliable, accurate or complete and is ridiculous at best.

Each State has different ways of recording criminal record information. Some have state-wide criminal record databases but most do not. Each court, at the city or county level, also has it's own unique way of recording criminal records and allowing the public access to them. At DSI Background Check Services, we know exactly where and how to look for them in the fastest and most intelligent way to give you quick results without compromising completeness or accuracy.

Criminal background checks at the state, county, and multi-state levels. Criminal reports for employment screening, tenant screening, landlords, & personal criminal records screening for individuals & roommates. Quick, reliable, & secure access to criminal records. No signup fees or commitments - prices listed are per search.

We have designed several different background checks for each state and for differing levels of depth, tailored to meet your specific background check needs and save you money. If you find that any of these packaged background checks will not meet your needs or you would like additional information, do not hesitate to call us.

EMPOYEE FACTS ABOUT PRE EMPLPYMENT SCREENING

*

Remember that no pre-employment screening process is perfect and EVERY firm that performs pre-employment background checks relies on imperfect and incomplete information.
*

Read and understand the FCRA and FACTA. They apply to you and a failure to adhere to their standards can land you in hot water. Employees have rights and if you do not follow the letter of the law, an aggrieved job candidate may pick up on this and hire and take you to court.
*

Get positive candidate identification. It is critical to verify the applicant’s name, including maiden names and aliases, social security number, a complete address and date of birth. Screening the wrong person can lead to a number of different types of problems, none of which is very appealing.
*

Spend the extra money to check for criminal convictions in the courts, not just via online databases. The FACTA/FCRA allows reporting of felonies and misdemeanors back seven years. Databases are often out of date and incomplete, even when they belong to a governmental agency. Each state has different types of criminal record sources, but the courts and the single most reliable place to look.
*

Tailor the background check to the classification of the employee. For many employees a minimal verification of information, criminal history search and verification of information presented on an application is enough, but employees who will be dealing with clients, cash, account records and the like obviously require more scrutiny. Consider including drug screening, I-9 verification (immigration), reference checks, education verification and previous employment verification.
