The purpose of personal background checks is to get a feel for the applicant's character. Personal and professional references are a good starting point, however, experts in the investigative field caution employers on using this method solely. Prospective employees are obviously going to give references of people whom they trust will provide a good character reference for them. Those references may not necessarily be fabricating information regarding the applicant; they simply may not know pertinent information about him or her.
Another method employer's use is obtaining a credit report on the prospective employee. While privacy advocates argue the necessity in

Advice on Performing Online Background Checks
Several popular websites are available for background checks
online. A few of the most popular are E-Background Check, U.S.
Search, Net Detective Plus and Best People Search. These
websites offer a variety of levels of investigation, depending
upon the employer's needs. Some of the information gathered is
instant, however for more detailed reports, employers should
expect a wait from anywhere between 1 and 7 days. Most of the
major background search firms online understand the importance
of adhering to the strict laws outlined in the Fair Credit
Reporting Act. The Act prohibits certain information (i.e.
bankruptcies over 10 years old, criminal charges without
convictions, etc.) from being considered in the pre-employment
process. It is important that employers utilize the services of
a competent professional who understands the needs and legal
obligations of the company.
Perform a search in any major search engine for the query "free
background check". You will certainly be overwhelmed with the
search results and paid advertisements regarding offers for free
background searches. If this is the first time you have
attempted to perform a free background check, you may be in for
a surprise.
Most investigative firms suggest that you outsource the
background checks for your company. This generally means that
free background checks do not provide the quality information
that you need. Free background checks online do not always give
the employer accurate or thorough information required by law.
While it is true that most people are not trying to hide
information from employers, it is those who have a background of
avoiding legal action, whether it be child support obligations
or criminal action, by moving from state-to-state or even in
more extreme cases, falsifying their identities. Because of the
easy access to information, it has made the job of 'con-artists'
even easier. Often times, free backgrounds checks on the
Internet are not enough to screen for potential red flags.
Other experts in the investigation field recommend using
searches in public records if the search is not of the most
sensitive nature or is not necessarily one that has to be
completed immediately. Websites that claim the too-good-to-be
true advertising that they offer completely free background
checks, are not being completely honest. An accurate and
thorough background investigation takes time, and lots of it.
This is the reason that private investigators charge a fee. They
have access to databases and other areas that retrieves
information about the prospective employee. It is usually in the
best interest of the employer to dish out the $25+ in order to:
1.) limit their time spent on endless searches, 2.) to ensure
accurate and thorough information and 3.) gain peace-of-mind
that their decision to hire the applicant is a sound decision.
