A few weeks ago, I did a Google Hangout question and answer session regarding background checks with Pamela Hay of Broad Range Investigations, hosted by PInow.com.
Among the questions we tackled:
- Scenarios to conduct a background check
- Information you must provide for a background check
- Why an investigator can complete a better background check than a website
- A criminal background check vs a complete background check
- Information people tend to hide from a background check
Sound interesting?

I have a client that wants deep background and educational information for the years 1988 to 2009. I have exhausted my resources but I have gather a lot of the information. The client does not want anyone to know someone is digging around due to personal circumstances. I need your help in finishing this investigation. My client wants all the dirt . This investigation is really hard due to the years involved. My company does not have the database for this years. I have another problem I need to find out if the subject graduated high school. I did a college background check and subject has not told the truth so something is up! This subject could have some mental issues. I am stuck!
Happy to help Debbie. Give us a call to discuss.
Brian,
I watched the videos and the one thing that is available in CA is the Work Comp board. Ms. Hay spoke about having a credit report and and resume. When those are not available, I go to the WCAB (Work Comp Appeals Board) and check for prior filings. Again, these do not come up in a regular civil index. Another area not discussed is the variation of names such as Robert or Bob. Information is obtained from a computer the way it is entered. Often times names are misspelled and it takes multiple checks to insure you have found everything.
Excellent points Scott. The name variations is critical. Not as much with criminal records since they are typically filed under a birth name as well as aliases, but for other records it’s very much true. Also, in cases of maiden names; you want to search under all name variations to be thorough and accurate.
