Theft

33% of business failures are due to employee theft. Typically people who steal or embezzle money from a company have a pattern of illegal behavior. Background checks can help you avoid hiring someone that may end up stealing from the company, its employees, or even various partners.

Violence & Drug Use

17% of all violent crimes occur in the workplace. And 8.2% of all full-time employees are illicit drug users. Background checks are an effective measure for determining if your candidate is likely to use drugs or bring violence or hostility to the office.

"It is an easy process to do the searches on our new/prospective employees and the response time is typically 24-48 hours."
