Corporate Investigations
As the employer, you may not be the best person to do a reference check. Why? Because you are already hoping for positive results.
We are all less receptive to hear bad things when we are NEEDFUL, WANTING or HOPEFUL and anticipating good results. Our minds will tend to disseminate what we want to hear and not the things we should hear. Dismissing the times you play telephone tag with call backs coming at the most inconvenient moment, DI has the time without vested interest in the candidate. We base results without bias, prejudice or emotion. Our purpose is to gather facts about your candidate and allow you to make the hiring decision based on facts we provide.
“Our company policy won’t allow me to comment ...” simply isn't good enough anymore.
A candidate’s ‘perception’ of their former job function and responsibilities can falsely lead a prospective employer to believe qualifications exist that really do not.
DI discovers an endless list of discrepancies while conducting Reference Checks:
- Personal references begin by saying “I don’t believe that Sam would use ME as a reference.”
- Exaggerated length of employment and/or never having been employed at all.
- Falsified reasons for termination such as “the business closed” or “I left for a better opportunity” or “company could not provide advancement opportunities” are often substitutes for having been terminated for other reasons.
- Gaps in employment may reveal, time spent in jail or a DUI charge resulting in the loss of transportation.
DI verifies the applicant’s information at the source. We contact previous employers to confirm:
The results provide you with a true and complete picture of the candidate you are considering.
Below the surface lies the applicant’s Personal Character, posing questions on matters of Honesty, Integrity, Values, Performance, and Business Acumen.
DI provides a detailed narrative report in a comprehensive format that are easy to read.
We assist individuals, businesses, and attorneys by finding and analyzing information. We connect small clues to solve mysteries or to uncover facts about legal, financial, or personal matters. We offer many services, pre-employment verification; and individual background profiles. We investigate computer crimes, such as identity theft, harassing e-mails, and illegal downloading of copyrighted material. We also provide assistance in criminal and civil liability cases, insurance claims and fraud, child custody and protection cases, missing person’s cases, and premarital screening. We are sometimes hired to investigate individuals to prove or disprove infidelity.
We have many methods to choose from when determining the facts in a case. We also perform computer database searches or work with someone who does. Computers allow us to quickly obtain huge amounts of information such as a subject’s prior arrests, convictions, and civil legal judgments; telephone numbers; motor vehicle registrations; association and club memberships; and even photographs.
We conduct internal and external investigations for corporations. In internal investigations, we may investigate drug use in the workplace, ensure that expense accounts are not abused, or determine whether employees are stealing merchandise or information. External investigations attempt to thwart criminal schemes from outside the corporation, such as fraudulent billing by a supplier.
