Some Common Myths

Each day we find ourselves talking to people who have one or more common misunderstandings about the processes of personnel records and of background checking.   You really do need to understand the facts as they actually exist.

You keep accurate records and check the background of your candidates in order to compensate them accurately, and to avoid trouble and adverse legal actions.   You need to have reliable online records and be purchasing background check reports that conform to the law, are consistent with the case law in this field, and were obtained legally.   Hence it is very important that you do not purchase background check reports that violate Federal or State law, or have been written based on misunderstandings.

Please scan each of the common myths in the right hand column, and give us a call at (972) 484-6140 if you want to discuss one or more of them, or if you have any other questions.
