ISS-Investigations specializes in providing National Background Reports to both private individuals and businesses. Background research plays a crucial role in various types of private investigations, serving as a vital preliminary tool to inform subsequent goals and approaches. Employment or personal background checks are typically conducted to evaluate an individual’s history and determine their suitability for a job or an intimate relationship. These checks aim to assess their honesty, reliability, and qualifications, whether in a professional or personal context. At ISS-Investigations, we offer comprehensive background checks tailored to the specific needs of our private and corporate clients. Our skilled background research investigators efficiently gather the information you require, providing you with the answers you need in a prompt manner. Ensuring that you can determine whether someone is an asset or a potential risk to your company or your family is of utmost importance to us.

ISS-Investigations offers comprehensive national background reports that provide a wealth of information about an individual. These reports typically include a summary of addresses, motor vehicle registrations, property ownership, watercraft and aircraft records, phone numbers, sex offenses, potential criminal records, bankruptcies, liens and judgments, professional licenses, driver’s licenses, accidents, hunting and fishing licenses, concealed weapon permits, employment information, voter registrations, neighbors, relatives, associates, marriage history, aliases, possible associates, cities of residence, and other pertinent details. By conducting a personal background search, we can piece together a comprehensive narrative that sheds light on an individual’s complete story.

Our National Background Report services are specifically designed for concerned partners, parents, employers, and landlords seeking to mitigate risk, prevent potential mistreatment, verify claims, or gather evidence for litigation purposes. We verify the personal contact information provided for any individual, ensuring accuracy and reliability. If any red flags or areas of concern arise from the background check, ISS-Investigations also offers further investigations to delve deeper into those specific issues.

With our national background checks, you can gain valuable insights and make informed decisions based on a thorough understanding of an individual’s background, helping you protect your interests, mitigate risks, and ensure peace of mind.

If you find yourself in a situation where you feel the need to gather more information about an individual’s past before taking your relationship (whether professional or personal) to the next level, a National Background Report can provide the peace of mind you seek. Conducting a background report is an effective way to screen the people in your life thoroughly. Our investigations into the backgrounds and personal histories of individuals are crucial for your safety and the well-being of your family.

It’s important to note that obtaining a comprehensive background check disclosure for an employee requires the individual’s consent. At ISS-Investigations we access information on criminal convictions that are legally recorded and available in the public domain. However, there are instances where we cannot guarantee the disclosure of all criminal convictions due to the following reasons:

• Sensitivity: Certain offenses are not accessible to the public due to their sensitive nature.

• Expungement: Some offenses may be expunged from records, making them no longer accessible.

• Exceptions: Some convictions may be eligible for record expungement but with exceptions, meaning they may still be accessible in certain circumstances.

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive background reports possible, these factors can impact the availability of certain criminal conviction information. Nonetheless, our team at Nathans Investigations is dedicated to conducting thorough and accurate investigations to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Many online companies claim to offer free National Background Reports or free background checks using public records or screening services. While certain reports and data may be accessible through public records for free, a truly comprehensive and accurate free background check is either unavailable or will be incomplete. Some online platforms or our detective software packages may advertise a small investment for their software, promising unlimited criminal background searches for free. However, these often provide only limited information, such as phone numbers and addresses.

At ISS-Investigations, we advise caution when it comes to advertisements for free background checks. If you genuinely need to delve into someone’s past, criminal history, driving record, or online activity, it is worth investing in the services of a private investigator. It’s important to note that not all agencies charge the same price for their services. The best approach is to contact a private investigation agency in your area to inquire about the cost and the comprehensive information included in their National Background Reports. They will be able to provide you with accurate pricing details based on your specific requirements.

Professional background screening is a growing industry. If you’re thinking about carrying out screening checks on an individual or business, certain key “data fields” enhance your capability to validate the information you have.

Data Field 1: ID Number

If you searched for person by their name, or company, you can cross reference this against the ID number supplied. If you search for their ID number, with no result, you can cross reference using a Name (first name & surname), home address, employment, directorship, property ownership or lease information.

Data Field 2: Employment History

Conducting a verification of employment, especially dates, is a critical component for HR departments during the hiring process. Many human resource departments will only give out dates of employment and maybe salary. Verifying dates of employment is critical as falsified information on a resume or job application can cast a shadow over a person’s integrity and honesty.

Data Field 3: Property Ownership

Banks need to make sure people are likely to repay a home loan according to the terms of your agreement. In making this assessment, they consider a variety of factors related to your past and present financial situation such as credit score, income, current loans and down payment percentage. Traceps harnesses the thorough background check done by financial institutions, which could give you insight into a persons financial profile.

Data Field 4: Business Ownership

Background checks on Business Ownership are often conducted to help protect a business, workers or clients. Business ownership checks through Traceps confirm current (and past) business owners, phone numbers, addresses and property ownership. The relationship between businesses and the directors can be assessed and cross references with other businesses owned.

Data Field 5: Where they Lived

A good background check should include a person’s history of where they lived. Traceps will give date-stamped data of a person’s listed residency through their life. Residence history is often needed by potential landlords to track the movement of people, specially if they have moved frequently. Residency checks can also affect a person’s credit rating.

Data Field 6: Contact Details

Background checks to confirm, or find, contact details are important for human resource, financial applications, investors, private Investigators, forensic Investigators, forensic auditing and so many more industries. Traceps can help confirm details, without having to make a call. In the case of employment, you can also find the contact details of a previous employer that an applicant did not want you to contact. Contact details of people connected or linked through telephone numbers, addresses or employment help creating a list of references if needed for the background check.
