Did you know that over 64% of résumés contain inaccuracies or outright lies? Or that a U.S.-based contractor falsified employee credentials, defrauding the federal government through false billing and wire transfers? Stories like these aren’t just headlines — they’re cautionary tales. The good news? A thorough background check could have prevented these costly mistakes.
Every day, unsuspecting businesses and individuals learn the hard way about someone’s hidden past — from security guards with violent histories to romantic partners concealing criminal records. These discoveries usually come too late, after trust has been broken and damage done. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Professional background check services can uncover these red flags before they become costly mistakes, helping you make informed choices about who you let into your life or business. When it comes to revealing what lies in the shadows of someone’s past, experienced private investigators have the tools and expertise to bring the truth to light.
When Background Checks Are Essential
The stakes are high when it comes to protecting yourself and your interests. Here’s where background checks can offer necessary support:
- Litigation issues. When facing someone in court, you need to know who you’re up against. Background checks provide litigation support by revealing critical insights about the opposing party’s history, tactics, and past behaviors that could shift the case outcome in your favor.
- Executive due diligence. When trusting someone with your company’s future, their actual qualifications and history matter. With executive-level background checks, investigators look past the polished resume to uncover issues like undisclosed bankruptcies, falsified credentials, or patterns of workplace misconduct that could harm your organization.
- Personal relationship screening. While it may feel uncomfortable to investigate someone you care about, it’s often better to confirm the facts before making a long-term commitment. When something doesn’t feel quite right, a thorough background check can reveal issues like violent criminal convictions or fraud before you invest your future in them.
