What's the going rate for peace-of-mind?
Most background checks merely scratch the surface of a person’s character profile history. MCI is able to perform “standard” background and pre-employment screening or dig much deeper to find historical issues, identify and review court cases, scour news archives, public records and archives. We find unreported bankruptcies, discrepancies, secret companies, tax disputes, financial means, legal disputes, criminal indictments or charges of harassment or drunken driving.

Not everyone has a history that they are trying to hide, but if they do, we can find it.

There are many negative consequences of making the wrong hire. And you want to make sure that you have all the right information before you make the decision. Skipping out on this process can affect your employee’s morale, productivity and impact customer relations. Not to mention the cost of replacing experienced workers can be extensive.
There are many things you can do to ensure you make informed decisions and hire quality employees and one of them is to use background checks.
Of course if your employees work with children or in other care positions, it is worth doing the most extensive check possible and make sure you know what the state requirements are. The most important aspects are to always stay within the law and to do your due diligence so that you don’t allowing hiring to become a headache.
Do conduct a pre-employment background check. A background check can also provide insight into an individual’s behavior, character, and integrity. Making the right hiring decisions for your company is critical to your business success.
Do conduct a criminal background check. To what extent, will vary state by state. Since it is not consistence you should consult with a lawyer or do further legal research on the laws of your state before exploring whether or not an applicant has a criminal past.
Do communicate. If and when you find something on a background check that may impact the decision to hire an applicant, you should — at a minimum — engage in a conversation with the applicant.
Do outsource to an agency to perform complete background checks. Great screening companies will do a far better job of locating the information you want. They have the experience and processes to be accurate and efficient. They also prevent you from viewing data that might be a violation of state or federal law.
Don’t run a limited search yourself. You can’t find everything online. So much of the concrete, legally obtained data for background checks can only be conducted by a licensed firm.
