Interest is brewing from various quarters to require background
checks for users of dating websites.
Most users who join dating sites have no idea how effective the
particular dating site is. They therefore sign-up with several
dating sites either in a bid to find the ideal site, or to
simply try all different sites simultaneously until they find
their mate on one of them.
If the government lays down the law that people using dating
sites succumb to background checks, most people cannot afford to
pay for the background check. For those who pay once and are
discontented with the website, they are unlikely to pay over and
over again to

The Rise of Executive Background Checks
With the recent corporate scandals of Enron and WorldCom, the
popularity and necessity of executive background checks has
greatly increased. In order to protect themselves from potential
disasters later on, many companies are now requiring extensive
investigation on prospective executives to verify their
employment and educational history as well as information
regarding any past wrongdoings.
As with any other type of pre-employment background
investigations, employers need to have the appropriate
disclosures available. According to Federal law and the Fair
Credit Reporting Act, applicants must sign and date specific
disclosures regarding the various types of background checks
employers desire. It is important to respect the privacy of
potential employees while maintaining the company's hiring
standards.
Although executive-level background checks are becoming
increasingly more popular, there may still be some hesitation as
to how far to take them. Many high-level executives seem to
think of their atmosphere as more of a society, or
'country-club' feel. They may not feel comfortable about
performing checks on executives and in many cases, do not feel
it is necessary. Human Resource managers in the executive level
seem to also have some hesitations to conducting extensive
background checks. Many of them feel as if their network of
peers is enough to get the information they need and may neglect
to further investigate a potential employee. The Wall Street
Journal suggests that many top-level hiring managers may ignore
the reference list provided by the would-be-executive to utilize
their own connections in their past companies.
Whatever the reasoning behind conducting background checks,
employers need to be aware of the Federal and State laws
regarding such investigations. Most reputable investigation
firms adhere strictly to these guidelines. Using one of the top
firms can save headaches in the future while being sure that the
information is fair, accurate and thorough. The employers
themselves, however, can obtain some information. Educational
references can be verified by contacting the academic
institution, work and salary history can be obtained by
contacting former employers, and character references can often
be sought by contacting various people who know the prospective
employee. Regardless of the method used, it is certainly in the
company's best interest to know who is working for them. In the
case of top-level management, an executive background check is
necessary and vital to the ongoing success of the establishment.
