Background checks are one area of business where some employers are found wanting. It should be the initial, or first step, to employment. People lie, or exaggerate on resume's; private investigators research this. Phone us on 1300 966 103, alternately email us at [email protected].

What is a probity check? It is a background check, a confirmation of information supplied, a confirmation a person is a real person, and that the person you are talking to is that real person. It is confirmation that the information supplied is correct. It is an honesty check, that the information supplied is real, not stolen, and not a deceptive exaggeration. It is also a way of checking that you are not inviting a disaster into your organisation, or your life. People won't reveal their worst secrets, willingly. An investigation, a background check, background research, a probity check, may save you money, and stress.

Undisclosed criminal histories, DV histories, horror stories of bullying or sexual harassment in previous workplaces, undisclosed injury claims, stealing or fraud as an employee......these are some of the things we have found. Never accept a CV, a resume, at face value. Do not accept references at face value. Find a different way to confirm you are talking to the real former employer, the real former trainer, that this is a real, valid, reference, not just a friend.

Meeting someone online, then meeting them face to face, in a situation where you never go to their place, never meet their friends, and they are only available at certain times, or never actually meeting them and being in relationship with someone overseas, with an online presence, is a recipe for disaster.

The risk of it ending in tears are high. If you are sending them money, the risk of it being a scam are far higher. Also, if someone always has an excuse for not meeting you, when you have only communicated online, do yourself a favour. This is especially true if it keeps happening. Always ask yourself, what would I do if a friend told me about this relationship, what would you tell them?

Contact us to search, and confirm, that you are talking to a real person, and that they are the person they say they are. Probity research, a background investigation, may reveal that the person isn't who they say they are, or what they say they are.

A private investigator, a private detective, is a person licensed to conduct a private investigation, to search for private information about a person, to conduct private investigator surveillance, or to search for a missing person, for reward. Call us.
