Background checks is a process of digging and
finding out information on someone’s past and
usually involves compiling and looking up of
commercial records, criminal records as well as
financial records of a company or an organization or
an individual. Employers can request for
employment screening on job candidates who have
made an application on high security jobs in places
like airports, hospitals, government institutions,
financial institutions and schools. Employers check
for the candidate’s fitness, qualifications, character
and any security and safety risks of employing the
candidates.        http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

A hard background check is a hard inquiry that
details information to a creditor but only with your
permission because it involves sensitive information
such as your social security number. Signing a loan
application form is giving permission to the financial
institution to carry out a credit background check on
you (hard inquiry). A hard inquiry is when a creditor
gets a full copy of a lender’s credit score and credit
report. A hard inquiry also shows the name of the
creditor that pulled the credit report. The creditor
usually has access to all the details of a credit report.
Hard inquiries (that forms part of a background
check) have very negative impacts on credit scores.
The more hard inquiries performed on your credit
                   http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
report, the more creditWorldwide that you lose.

You can also get denied a loan due to a high
number or frequency of hard enquiries on your
credit. Though the inquiry has some negative
effects, it is not as bad as the impact of late
payments of loans. To avoid the bad marks
(negative image) that come with hard inquiries,
ensure that you give consent for such to take
place only if necessary.

A soft background check is a soft inquiry that
normally takes place when potential employers
carrying out credit background checks on prospective
employees. It also occurs when candidates who apply
for loans are pre-screened by creditors. The process
does not require one’s consent for it to take place. A
soft inquiry can also be when you personally pull
your credit report. In a soft inquiry, not all details of a
credit report are pulled out and it usually shows as an
inquiry and not a credit report pull. Soft inquiries
neither affects credit scores nor have negative effects
on credit reports hence are harmless. It is therefore
much better and easier to allow for a soft inquiry than

Consider pre-screening your prospects through a
head hunter. Despite the fact that pre-screening can
be very costly, it is worth the price especially when
seeking due diligence for sensitive and confidential
matters. Head hunters are professionals who can
verify all details in a resume of an employee yet to be
hired such as education and employment details.
They are in a position to perform or conduct criminal
background checks and contact all employment
references listed in the resume for verification
purposes.
                 http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                   Private Investigator Singapore &
                              Worldwide
They can also interview the prospective
employees to determine whether their
candidacies are viable and up to the required
standards before letting you have an in house
interview between the company HR manager
and the candidate. They will give you
professional advice concerning the person’s
candidacy.


              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

Use the search engines to find information about
these persons before adding them on to your
payroll. Search engines like Google, Bing and
Yahoo among others have made internet searches
much easier. Searches of the names of the
candidates via web searches could never be
easier than it is already. By pasting their email
addresses on Google’s search bar and social
networking search bars, you will be able to find
so much information about the person than you
could have ever wanted. With the information
you get, if you research well, you can easily know
the kind of person you are dealing with.
                http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

For computer geeks who are geniuses in web
research, it is possible to find information that
is pertinent enough to aid you in decision
making. Professional background checks are
much better for information that is accurate to
verify your findings as well as a thorough and
proper investigation.




               http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                 Private Investigator Singapore &
                            Worldwide
Ensure that you perform credit checks on your
prospects so as to get background checks that
are thoroughly done. If the job to be filled is a,
banking job, find out how responsible the
employee is with his/her money. An employee
who is found with any previous record of
bankruptcy, various delinquencies or charge-
offs must be seen as a dishonest. With the poor
world economy, you might also want to check
on the person’s credit score and do not hesitate
to ask them for this. They would have no
reason refusing if they are really honest.
               http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
               Private Investigator Singapore &
                          Worldwide
You also have to hire a detective who is a professional
and experienced to do the background checks
thoroughly. These background checks will save you a
lot of agony in the future for having employed a
wrong person like criminal or potential lawsuits from
customers. The checks will not only save you from
costly litigation but also from situations that are very
disastrous. Though investigations can be customized
to suit individual customer needs, the screening
process usually comprise of the following checks:
motor vehicle records, criminal records, verification of
education,
                  http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                    Private Investigator Singapore &
                               Worldwide
civil records, comprehensive media and
internet research, verification of the accuracy of
resume provided and previous employment
places as well as identification and
confirmation of important details given such as
date of birth, name, addresses, social security
number and residency or citizenship. An
investigator will play a great role in the
screening process, so you just want to hire the
best and right investigator for the job
              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
Ensure that you search for a good investigator
as if he was going to handle your most
valuable and secretive (confidential)
information. To protect any information that
you will disclose, get the investigator to sign an
agreement of confidentiality.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
It is important to verify references from your
potential investigator. Request only references
that are reputable and be sure to contact them.
This will let you get critical information about
the investigator that will help in deciding
whether he/she is appropriate for the job.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
Apart from checking and contacting reputable
references, you must verify your potential
investigator’s credentials. You can do this by
requesting to see their license which you must
verify to be genuine. People are not always
what they seem or say to be. You can also
check and verify with your country’s registrar
to confirm whether the company is registered
or not.

              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

                           Worldwide
An investigator who is an ex-law enforcement officer
is extensively trained in legal and investigative
matters hence most suitable for an investigative job.
This gives him an advantage over investigators with
no similar backgrounds thus has invaluable
experience and has definitely networked over the
years to make significant contacts. The investigator
having had a position in government that involves
initial background checks that are normally very
vigorous makes him have a good background since
he/she already passed the one conducted by the
                  http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

government.         Private Investigator Singapore &
                               Worldwide
The private investigative industry is not like a
    computer’s GIGO or the retail industry where
    you get what you pay for. Skills, patience and
    time are what it takes an investigator to get a
    job done and there are no promising or
    definitive results in this industry. Therefore, be
    wary of any investigator who is promising
    guaranteed results for their services.
 

                   http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                     Private Investigator Singapore &
                                Worldwide
Good investigators and firms have so much
information available about them for their
potential customers. After successfully doing
what should be done such as searches and
background checks, you will be either
confident or have doubts about the investigator
in question. In this case, you just have to trust
and follow your instincts. If you have so much
confidence in the investigator then go ahead
and hire him/her otherwise, do not. Your
instincts can never let you down or fail you,
trust them. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                    Worldwide
You must ensure that your investigator is
insured so that you can be covered in case you
hire him. Request for a copy of the
investigator’s insurance policy, check for any
limits and whether the policy covers the
duration of investigation of your case. You
must confirm and ensure that you are covered.




             http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
               Private Investigator Singapore &
                          Worldwide
You must know the investigator’s capabilities
and limits. Is he flexible and open to take up
any additional tasks that might come up and
lengthen the initial duration? It is good to hire
a flexible investigator because you do not what
might come up in the future




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
Before you do a background check on anyone,
you have their permission to do so otherwise
you will be breaking the law. As an employer,
you can include a part in the job application for
applicant to sign. This will be an automatic
consent from the candidate. By signing the
application form, it means the candidate agrees
and hence gives you the consent to carry out
the background check.


              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
You must carry out a background check that is
relevant to the vacant position. Checking
records that are not relevant to the job is
considered invasions of the person’s privacy.
You need to determine what relevant aspects
need to be checked on the candidate’s
background.



             http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
               Private Investigator Singapore &
                          Worldwide
It is not always necessary to check on a
candidate’s credit reports for hiring processes.
Do it only if necessary because if you do not
employ them, they could take you to court and
obviously would win. Some countries also do
not allow potential employers to have access to
their candidate’s credit reports. It just depends
on where you are.

              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
To know whether the candidate has a police
record, you can visit your local police
department where you will be required to fill a
form for information request. You will also be
expected to pay a nominal fee.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
If you want to know whether the person has
prison records, you can browse through your
country’s prison website. These websites have
databases online with records of all the people
who have ever been imprisoned. You can also
visit the specific prison in person and request
for the information or use penitentiary
websites.

Find a background investigator or firm that offers
services to a very large area. The right investigator
should have access to consumer record and national
court as well as those found in your country or area.
The investigator or firm you choose must be familiar
with the employment field and must have experience
in the same field to prove that they can do it. Firms
that offer a comprehensive cover usually offer a
range of services that includes professional
verifications, criminal and personal background
checks, check references as well as educational
certifications. Even if you are looking for one of the
services offered by the firm, they will be able to do it
very well.         http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

                       Worldwide
A good firm has a high level of expertise with
knowledge of laws that govern the use of
private information. The firm’s compliance
should be along these lines as well. They
should also be in a position to advise you on
the best way to handle candidates’ personal
and private information that is collected and
handed to you.

                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
You must only go for firms and investigators
who are accredited to offer the services. Prior
to accreditation, firms are usually verified for
compliance in areas such as client education,
services standards, consumer protection,
product standards, legal compliance and
general business practices. An accredited firm
has passed all these verifications and can offer
high standard services.

The only way to get answers is by asking suitable
  questions to a potential investigator. Some of the
  questions that you can ask are as follows:
 Can you guarantee confidentiality and if yes, how do
  it?
 How will you give me a report that is full?

 What kind of reports should I expect given this kind
  of job?
 Why should I hire you when I can use a free database
  search website that can provide the records or
  information that I need?
 What does the screening laws of my country say/

 What does a background check &entail according to

   Do you provide accurate data and information? If
    yes, how do you ensure that what you provide is
    accurate?
   Do you provide personalized customer service to
    each client?
   How do I inform a candidate of some information I
    have found out that is not good?
   How long does it take you to do a background
    check?

Tips and Tricks for Private
       Investigators




     http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
       Private Investigator Singapore &
                  Worldwide
Before you start investigations, ensure that you
have all the information that you need for the
job. The basic information that you will
definitely need is date of birth, full name and a
country or state where the person lived in
before. Knowing the person’s full name is very
critical especially if they have a common name
that is shared by many people. A lot of
elimination is involved in this process while
trying to identify the right person among a list
of people with similar or almost similar names.
The date of birth will help rule out the wrong
names.          http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
               Private Investigator Singapore &
                          Worldwide
It is best to start searches in places that are well
known such as looking through documents in
the judicial websites. You can come across
some civil proceedings and court cases that will
assist you to focus only on one area. You could
discover more information from these
documents such as names of relatives or even a
possible address.


               http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                 Private Investigator Singapore &
                            Worldwide
The National Sex Offender Registry is another
important place to check out. It has an updated
database of sexual offenders' records and they
are required to update where they reside every
year. You can also get to know whether the
person has updated his residence or not.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
After you have got information that you think
is enough, find a background check database
and subscribe to it. This is a good place because
it has compiled data hence a central place to
conduct research.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
It is important that you talk to some of your
clients who were happy with the service you
offered them to act as your references. Keep a
list of at least three references that you can use
in case a potential client requests for references.
These should be clients who are willing to talk
about the good experience they had and
positive results that they got by hiring you.


               http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

                            Worldwide
If the law of your country allows for recording of calls,
then you can do so. Most countries require that if the
conversation involves two people, you must have the
consent of either of the two whereas others require
consent from the two. In case of three or more people
involved in a conversation, you might have to get
consent from all of them. The recordings can be used
later for reference to information talked about. You
can record your calls to references because as one of
the two parties involved, you have the consent to go
ahead and record the conversation.
                 http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                   Private Investigator Singapore &
                              Worldwide
Whatever the method or technique you use to
carry out background checks, ensure that you
adhere to the country’s law and legal
guidelines that govern them so as to be on the
right side of the government. Doing otherwise
is risking being charged for breaking the law.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

                           Worldwide
It is wise to take note of details of any information
uncovered on a person’s background. This will
ensure that you do not forget or leave out any details
when writing a report for your clients. You can either
use a notebook and pen or your PC to record the
findings.
                 http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                   Private Investigator Singapore &
                              Worldwide
Ensure that you do not trespass onto property
that is private as this might get you into
trouble. Your safety is paramount so avoid any
activity or behavior that may cause physical
injuries to your body. Do not be too aggressive
in whatever technique that you use because
you may not like retaliations that could result
from it as a countermeasure for self defense. Be
sure to reason well and use ethics for you to
realize a profitable adventure that is fulfilling.

Prepare well for any interview that is planned by
going through the references and resume as a whole
and open it with a general conversation to make the
interviewee feel at ease hence will be able to give you
any relevant information you are looking for. They
will also be more comfortable to answer hard
questions. Ensure that you only ask relevant
questions that will help you get the right
information. You should also direct the interview to
the right course of conversation.

I recommend that you do a basic search of
yourself using search engines like Google and
Yahoo. Google your name by typing it in the
search bar and see what comes up. If your
name is shared by many people expect to find a
long list of search results. Go through them and
if there is any result from a court website, you
better have a look at it especially if you have
never dealt with a court.

Search and browse through a judicial website
that is local to your country or state using the
option for an online case search that is usually
found on most of these websites. This is a good
place to find all if any, law suits where you
were involved or your name was mentioned.

These companies gather and compile various
  records in millions from different sources into
  one large database for search purposes. The

It has been noted that employers use social networking
sites such as Facebook and Twitter to conduct
background checks. The photos and information that you
post on these social media will tell a lot about you to
your prospective employer. So be very careful when
using these websites. One you post something, you
cannot get rid of it. Even if you delete it, it is not totally
gone as it leaves footprints through which it can be
traced. So, before you click on the post or upload button,
think twice. Ensure that you also use the privacy settings
on your profile to safeguard your account hence yourself.
Social Intelligence Corporation, a new company, runs
through websites on behalf of employers. They search for
negative things that directly points to you which if they
get to find, remains in their database for up to seven
years.

You can also use these websites to create great
    professional profiles so that when an employer
    checks it out during a background check, they
    would definitely give you the job. If you
    manage your profiles well and use the security
    and privacy settings to the maximum, you can
    be sure that things can work out to your
    advantage and land yourself the job. Doing so
    also ensures that you do not lose your job as so
    many people have lost their jobs due to
    pictures and message postings on their social
    media accounts or profiles.

Background Checks/Screening Tips
      and Tricks of Tenants




         http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
           Private Investigator Singapore &
                      Worldwide
You have to ask the potential tenant to tell you
why they are interested in your facility and not
any other. They should also explain why they
are moving out of their current rental. The
reasons should be positive and reasonable,
otherwise do not consider renting your house
or apartment to this prospective tenant as you
risk going through the same thing that her
current landlord or landlady is subjected to.


              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
The potential tenant must tell you the number
of people who will be living with him/her and
the duration of their stay. The longer the
duration the tenant will be staying the better
unless your rentals target tourist who usually
stay for a short duration of time. This will also
help to know when there are strangers around
your rentals.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
You should also ask the prospective tenant of their
workplace. Find out whether it is close or far from
the rentals and the duration of time they have
worked for their employer. This is just a way of
getting to know the tenant and their source of
income. Note the way the questions you ask are
answered. You will be able to tell what kind of a
person will be renting your house as well as whether
the person is being honest or not. You can also collect
these kinds of information using your real estate
application form. The tenants will fill in their details
and you will have the chance to go through them one
by one, in case you receive Singapore & applications.

Ensure that when you are show casing your property
or house to the tenant, you are keen to note things
about this person. Their walking style, how they
dress and even the type of car they come in. for you
to save time and energy; you can have all the
prospective tenants together when showing your
house or property. This will ensure that you do not
repeat the same things to different clients as you will
have them under one group to do one presentation.
Give application forms only to your desired potential
tenants and let them know about your screening
process, what you expect of them and what you do
not.              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                    Private Investigator Singapore &
                       Worldwide
Your application form should have text boxes for
rental history( both previous and current one),
full identification details( such as ID, driving
license or social security), employment details
(both current and previous positions and
employer), full identification details of other
occupants who will be staying with you, details
of family members and friends, credit
information( should include details of financing
vehicles, credit references and bank details) as
well as permission to allow you do a background
check on the tenant to confirm that all the details
given are genuine.

                 Private Investigator Singapore &
                            Worldwide
Verify all details provided in the application form
and use phone directories to verify phone numbers.
When done, rate every application and choose the
best application of the tenant to occupy your house
or apartment. Record all the conversations between
you and your potential tenants, which you can attach
to their application forms. It should include the
theme, date and time of conversation for future
reference. Some tenants might think that they were
not selected due to discrimination; hence it is
important to explain to all tenants whose
applications did not go through& why they did not

                      Worldwide
During the tenant’s background check, ensure
that you hire a qualified and experienced
background investigator to do the credit
checks. A potential tenant with a good credit
background will not give you problems with
payment of rent.




             http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

                          Worldwide
To ensure that your tenants pay rent on time,
encourage them to use only direct debit order.
You can say that you only accept payments
through debit orders. This will ensure that the
tenant does not attempt to use any other
method to pay the rent.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
Regularly visit the property to check on any
damages, violation of rental rights and rules as well
as the occupants or tenants themselves. This will also
help to build a good relationship between you and
your tenants that is based on trust. Your tenants will
get the chance to tell you what problems they have
and what needs maintenance. Furthermore, when
they know that you always visit, they will always try
to follow the set rules and avoid damaging property.
You can also be able to tell which tenants are giving
you a headache hence you can evacuate them. A

Doing a tenant reference check will enable you get
vital information on the prospective tenant and
ensure that you end up with a good and trustworthy
tenant who is very secure. If you have had bad
experiences with previous tenants, you might think
that good ones do not exist but they do.
These background checks will definitely ensure that
a landlord gets a good tenant who can rent his/her
property for a very long time. Tenants should also
ensure that they sign a lease agreement before
moving in. This agreement will protect both the
tenant and the landlord from each other because
                  http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading

Effects of Background Checks




      http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
        Private Investigator Singapore &
                   Worldwide
Usually, the person who benefits from these
checks is the one who carries out the
background check such as an employer,
creditor or even landlord.




             http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
               Private Investigator Singapore &
                          Worldwide
A background check can include information
on a person’s financial history such as
bankruptcy. The employer can then make
appropriate decisions whether to consider the
person for employment or not. Some laws do
not allow discrimination of those ( prospective
candidates) with filed bankruptcies.



              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
A background check verifies all the information
presented in a candidate’s resume such as the
schools that the candidate attended, certifications
obtained as well as licenses and degrees that are
shown in the resume. Previous work experience is
also verified such as the previous employer, duration
of employment, whether the employer was satisfied
with work done, position held, advancement in
career, salary earned and whether the person really
work for the stated employers.

                 http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                   Private Investigator Singapore &
                              Worldwide
There are laws that govern criminal background
checks but this varies from place to place and from
country to country or state to state. It is possible to
know if the candidate was arrested for driving under
influence. This information is very important if you
looking for a drivers for your fleet of vehicles. You
can also find information on civil lawsuits, data on
sexual offenses, convictions at county or state levels
as well as alcohol and drug abuse. It is not possible to
gain access to information that is more than seven
years old.
                 http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                   Private Investigator Singapore &
                              Worldwide
A background check reveals information about a
candidate that is enough to tell whether they are
genuine or not. It verifies the person’s social security
number and it is also possible for the employer to
know the candidate’s citizenship. With this
information, the employer can also know if the
person is allowed to work in the country in case they
are immigrants.




                  http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                    Private Investigator Singapore &
                               Worldwide
Despite the financial security and personal safety
benefits of background checks, there are also
problems that might occur as a result. Hence it is
important to consider them when looking into
conducting a background check.




                 http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                   Private Investigator Singapore &
                              Worldwide
It is very possible for prospective employers to judge
a prospective candidate from a piece of information
that is provided on the background check report.
Due to the piece of questionable information
presented, it is possible for an employer to let go of a
prospect with great potential; may be even the best
candidate among the applicants. It could also be a
case that was dismissed after investigations when the
candidate was found to be innocent but since it still
appears on the report, it is used to judge the
candidate.
                 http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                   Private Investigator Singapore &
                              Worldwide
It is therefore important for prospective
employers and landlords to scrutinize
background reports well before making a final
decision. They should be wise enough when
doing this because it is the only way they can
get the best candidate among all the applicants.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
These are checks that are carried out only
within a certain country or State thus can be
problematic if the candidate has lived in other
states or countries. This kind of check only lets
you get partial information about the
prospective candidate hence conclusions made
from the background report might not
necessarily reflect the person’s past.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
It is also possible that the information on a
report provided by a background check
investigator is not as complete as it should be.
There is no guarantee that the information
available about a person’s past is up-to-date. It
is possible that certain information from
companies and government agencies have not
been provided in order to update information
on the person’s history. So many reports of up
to 30% do not provide information that is
complete hence decisions made on such
information does not let an employer choose
the best candidate.
              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
Another con of background checks is the possibility
of information on a submitted report having with
errors. It is possible to post information on the wrong
profile of a person due to mistaken identity such as
similar names or just pure confusion. The candidate
is judged on information that was posted on his
profile by mistake. This will not only lead to the
candidate missing out on a job they qualify for but
also the employer will let go of a suitable candidate.
It is wise for employers to notify the candidate on a
questionable information on the report of their
background check, though this is not always the
case. It can be so bad if a candidate’s application is
                    http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
denied on the basis of some inaccurate information
                      Private Investigator Singapore &
                                 Worldwide
Background checks can go for up to two weeks
or more thus it delays the process of hiring
because everything remains standstill until the
check is over.




              http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading
                Private Investigator Singapore &
                           Worldwide
Background checks are very expensive and the
more details and verifications needed the more
money is spent.

Some people consider background checks to be
    very offensive and thus can lead to charges on
    discrimination basis as well as lawsuits.

Database searches that charge fees are usually
    more effective than the free one. This is because
    you can find so much information such as status
    of sex offenders, the person’s income and value
    of his/her home, marriages, bankruptcies,
    felonies, divorces, ownership of real estate,
    immigration status, information on property, age,
    address history, phone numbers relatives as well
    as all the information that one can find in the free
    databases. If you just want basic information
    about a person like maybe who they are
    generally, it is best to use the free databases

The best and proven ways to carry out a
    background check are outsourcing where you
    hire a private investigator in Singapore or use
    websites for background checks, references and
    personal history(employment, academic and
    references), public records(state correctional
    and police records), search engines like Bing as
    well as social networking sites.

  • 3. Background checks is a process of digging and finding out information on someone’s past and usually involves compiling and looking up of commercial records, criminal records as well as financial records of a company or an organization or an individual. Employers can request for employment screening on job candidates who have made an application on high security jobs in places like airports, hospitals, government institutions, financial institutions and schools. Employers check for the candidate’s fitness, qualifications, character and any security and safety risks of employing the candidates. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 4. Depending on the requested information (can be credit scores, verification of criminal history, and verification of past employments); these checks can be very expensive. Unfortunately, background checks are also used unlawfully for illegal purposes such as identity theft, employment discriminations and violation of people’s privacy. Due to the security reasons, background checks have become very important in the modern day to day activities. This makes it important for employers and other people who seek these services to know the dos and don’ts when http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading it comes to background checks Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 5. The tips and tricks by a leading Private Investigator in Singapore on employee background investigations or checks is therefore, a must-have and must-know for all prospective clients to these investigators or detectives. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 6. A hard background check is a hard inquiry that details information to a creditor but only with your permission because it involves sensitive information such as your social security number. Signing a loan application form is giving permission to the financial institution to carry out a credit background check on you (hard inquiry). A hard inquiry is when a creditor gets a full copy of a lender’s credit score and credit report. A hard inquiry also shows the name of the creditor that pulled the credit report. The creditor usually has access to all the details of a credit report. Hard inquiries (that forms part of a background check) have very negative impacts on credit scores. The more hard inquiries performed on your credit http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading report, the more creditWorldwide that you lose. scores Private Investigator Singapore &
  • 7. You can also get denied a loan due to a high number or frequency of hard enquiries on your credit. Though the inquiry has some negative effects, it is not as bad as the impact of late payments of loans. To avoid the bad marks (negative image) that come with hard inquiries, ensure that you give consent for such to take place only if necessary. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 8. A soft background check is a soft inquiry that normally takes place when potential employers carrying out credit background checks on prospective employees. It also occurs when candidates who apply for loans are pre-screened by creditors. The process does not require one’s consent for it to take place. A soft inquiry can also be when you personally pull your credit report. In a soft inquiry, not all details of a credit report are pulled out and it usually shows as an inquiry and not a credit report pull. Soft inquiries neither affects credit scores nor have negative effects on credit reports hence are harmless. It is therefore much better and easier to allow for a soft inquiry than http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading a hard inquiry. Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 9. A day does not go by without any news of an employee being so unscrupulous and committing crimes like selling the company’s secrets, fraud, stealing merchandise or fraud for their own benefit. If you are hiring employees and have had to deal with such crimes, you can follow the tips and tricks below from a top investigator to assist you in the screening process of prospective employees yet to be hired. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide

They include insurance investigators, surveillance investigator, corporate investigators, domestic and civil investigators, criminal defense investigators, skip tracing investigators and background check investigators. Since you will be conducting background checks, the right investigator in this case is the background check investigator.   http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide

  • 14. Tips and Tricks for Clients/Potential Customers http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 15. Consider pre-screening your prospects through a head hunter. Despite the fact that pre-screening can be very costly, it is worth the price especially when seeking due diligence for sensitive and confidential matters. Head hunters are professionals who can verify all details in a resume of an employee yet to be hired such as education and employment details. They are in a position to perform or conduct criminal background checks and contact all employment references listed in the resume for verification purposes. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 16. They can also interview the prospective employees to determine whether their candidacies are viable and up to the required standards before letting you have an in house interview between the company HR manager and the candidate. They will give you professional advice concerning the person’s candidacy. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 17. Use the search engines to find information about these persons before adding them on to your payroll. Search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo among others have made internet searches much easier. Searches of the names of the candidates via web searches could never be easier than it is already. By pasting their email addresses on Google’s search bar and social networking search bars, you will be able to find so much information about the person than you could have ever wanted. With the information you get, if you research well, you can easily know the kind of person you are dealing with. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 18. For computer geeks who are geniuses in web research, it is possible to find information that is pertinent enough to aid you in decision making. Professional background checks are much better for information that is accurate to verify your findings as well as a thorough and proper investigation. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 19. Ensure that you perform credit checks on your prospects so as to get background checks that are thoroughly done. If the job to be filled is a, banking job, find out how responsible the employee is with his/her money. An employee who is found with any previous record of bankruptcy, various delinquencies or charge- offs must be seen as a dishonest. With the poor world economy, you might also want to check on the person’s credit score and do not hesitate to ask them for this. They would have no reason refusing if they are really honest. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 20. You also have to hire a detective who is a professional and experienced to do the background checks thoroughly. These background checks will save you a lot of agony in the future for having employed a wrong person like criminal or potential lawsuits from customers. The checks will not only save you from costly litigation but also from situations that are very disastrous. Though investigations can be customized to suit individual customer needs, the screening process usually comprise of the following checks: motor vehicle records, criminal records, verification of education, http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 21. civil records, comprehensive media and internet research, verification of the accuracy of resume provided and previous employment places as well as identification and confirmation of important details given such as date of birth, name, addresses, social security number and residency or citizenship. An investigator will play a great role in the screening process, so you just want to hire the best and right investigator for the job http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 22. Ensure that you search for a good investigator as if he was going to handle your most valuable and secretive (confidential) information. To protect any information that you will disclose, get the investigator to sign an agreement of confidentiality. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 23. It is important to verify references from your potential investigator. Request only references that are reputable and be sure to contact them. This will let you get critical information about the investigator that will help in deciding whether he/she is appropriate for the job. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 24. Apart from checking and contacting reputable references, you must verify your potential investigator’s credentials. You can do this by requesting to see their license which you must verify to be genuine. People are not always what they seem or say to be. You can also check and verify with your country’s registrar to confirm whether the company is registered or not. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 25. An investigator who is an ex-law enforcement officer is extensively trained in legal and investigative matters hence most suitable for an investigative job. This gives him an advantage over investigators with no similar backgrounds thus has invaluable experience and has definitely networked over the years to make significant contacts. The investigator having had a position in government that involves initial background checks that are normally very vigorous makes him have a good background since he/she already passed the one conducted by the http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading government. Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 26. The private investigative industry is not like a computer’s GIGO or the retail industry where you get what you pay for. Skills, patience and time are what it takes an investigator to get a job done and there are no promising or definitive results in this industry. Therefore, be wary of any investigator who is promising guaranteed results for their services.   http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 27. Good investigators and firms have so much information available about them for their potential customers. After successfully doing what should be done such as searches and background checks, you will be either confident or have doubts about the investigator in question. In this case, you just have to trust and follow your instincts. If you have so much confidence in the investigator then go ahead and hire him/her otherwise, do not. Your instincts can never let you down or fail you, trust them. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 28. You must ensure that your investigator is insured so that you can be covered in case you hire him. Request for a copy of the investigator’s insurance policy, check for any limits and whether the policy covers the duration of investigation of your case. You must confirm and ensure that you are covered. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 29. You must know the investigator’s capabilities and limits. Is he flexible and open to take up any additional tasks that might come up and lengthen the initial duration? It is good to hire a flexible investigator because you do not what might come up in the future http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 30. Before you do a background check on anyone, you have their permission to do so otherwise you will be breaking the law. As an employer, you can include a part in the job application for applicant to sign. This will be an automatic consent from the candidate. By signing the application form, it means the candidate agrees and hence gives you the consent to carry out the background check. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 31. You must carry out a background check that is relevant to the vacant position. Checking records that are not relevant to the job is considered invasions of the person’s privacy. You need to determine what relevant aspects need to be checked on the candidate’s background. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 32. It is not always necessary to check on a candidate’s credit reports for hiring processes. Do it only if necessary because if you do not employ them, they could take you to court and obviously would win. Some countries also do not allow potential employers to have access to their candidate’s credit reports. It just depends on where you are. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 33. To know whether the candidate has a police record, you can visit your local police department where you will be required to fill a form for information request. You will also be expected to pay a nominal fee. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 34. If you want to know whether the person has prison records, you can browse through your country’s prison website. These websites have databases online with records of all the people who have ever been imprisoned. You can also visit the specific prison in person and request for the information or use penitentiary websites. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 35. Find a background investigator or firm that offers services to a very large area. The right investigator should have access to consumer record and national court as well as those found in your country or area. The investigator or firm you choose must be familiar with the employment field and must have experience in the same field to prove that they can do it. Firms that offer a comprehensive cover usually offer a range of services that includes professional verifications, criminal and personal background checks, check references as well as educational certifications. Even if you are looking for one of the services offered by the firm, they will be able to do it very well. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 36. A good firm has a high level of expertise with knowledge of laws that govern the use of private information. The firm’s compliance should be along these lines as well. They should also be in a position to advise you on the best way to handle candidates’ personal and private information that is collected and handed to you. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 37. You must only go for firms and investigators who are accredited to offer the services. Prior to accreditation, firms are usually verified for compliance in areas such as client education, services standards, consumer protection, product standards, legal compliance and general business practices. An accredited firm has passed all these verifications and can offer high standard services. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 38. The only way to get answers is by asking suitable questions to a potential investigator. Some of the questions that you can ask are as follows:  Can you guarantee confidentiality and if yes, how do it?  How will you give me a report that is full?  What kind of reports should I expect given this kind of job?  Why should I hire you when I can use a free database search website that can provide the records or information that I need?  What does the screening laws of my country say/  What does a background check &entail according to http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore Worldwide
  • 39. Do you provide accurate data and information? If yes, how do you ensure that what you provide is accurate?  Do you provide personalized customer service to each client?  How do I inform a candidate of some information I have found out that is not good?  How long does it take you to do a background check?  Answers to these questions will clear your doubts and give you the information you seek in hiring the best investigator.http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading   Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 40. Tips and Tricks for Private Investigators http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 41. Before you start investigations, ensure that you have all the information that you need for the job. The basic information that you will definitely need is date of birth, full name and a country or state where the person lived in before. Knowing the person’s full name is very critical especially if they have a common name that is shared by many people. A lot of elimination is involved in this process while trying to identify the right person among a list of people with similar or almost similar names. The date of birth will help rule out the wrong names. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 42. It is best to start searches in places that are well known such as looking through documents in the judicial websites. You can come across some civil proceedings and court cases that will assist you to focus only on one area. You could discover more information from these documents such as names of relatives or even a possible address. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 43. The National Sex Offender Registry is another important place to check out. It has an updated database of sexual offenders' records and they are required to update where they reside every year. You can also get to know whether the person has updated his residence or not. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 44. After you have got information that you think is enough, find a background check database and subscribe to it. This is a good place because it has compiled data hence a central place to conduct research. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 45. It is important that you talk to some of your clients who were happy with the service you offered them to act as your references. Keep a list of at least three references that you can use in case a potential client requests for references. These should be clients who are willing to talk about the good experience they had and positive results that they got by hiring you. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 46. If the law of your country allows for recording of calls, then you can do so. Most countries require that if the conversation involves two people, you must have the consent of either of the two whereas others require consent from the two. In case of three or more people involved in a conversation, you might have to get consent from all of them. The recordings can be used later for reference to information talked about. You can record your calls to references because as one of the two parties involved, you have the consent to go ahead and record the conversation. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 47. Whatever the method or technique you use to carry out background checks, ensure that you adhere to the country’s law and legal guidelines that govern them so as to be on the right side of the government. Doing otherwise is risking being charged for breaking the law. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 48. It is wise to take note of details of any information uncovered on a person’s background. This will ensure that you do not forget or leave out any details when writing a report for your clients. You can either use a notebook and pen or your PC to record the findings. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 49. Ensure that you do not trespass onto property that is private as this might get you into trouble. Your safety is paramount so avoid any activity or behavior that may cause physical injuries to your body. Do not be too aggressive in whatever technique that you use because you may not like retaliations that could result from it as a countermeasure for self defense. Be sure to reason well and use ethics for you to realize a profitable adventure that is fulfilling. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 50. Prepare well for any interview that is planned by going through the references and resume as a whole and open it with a general conversation to make the interviewee feel at ease hence will be able to give you any relevant information you are looking for. They will also be more comfortable to answer hard questions. Ensure that you only ask relevant questions that will help you get the right information. You should also direct the interview to the right course of conversation. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 51. For you to pass the investigator test, ensure that you prepare well and schedule a time to study. Use the best study techniques available and get support from your family by telling ahead that you will be preparing for the exam. The last minute before you leave for the test, ensure to carry along your ID card, driving license as well as the examination fee you are required to pay. Also ensure that you get enough rest prior to the test. http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
  • 52. Tips and Tricks for Personal Background Checks http://www.sk.com.sg/ A leading Private Investigator Singapore & Worldwide
