Reasons for Conducting Criminal Background & Background Investigations

The most common reasons for conducting criminal background investigations and civil background investigations include as pre-employment investigations, prospective tenant screenings, pre-marital background investigations, and screenings for nannies or child care providers. At The i-Con Group, we can handle all types of these and any other background investigations for clients throughout the St. Louis area.

Pre-Employment Background Investigations

Companies have a responsibility to their other employees and shareholders to verify and know who they are hiring. Pre-employment screenings and background investigations will reveal any criminal record and can also verify a person’s employment history, education information, legal citizenship and right to work status, and any other information that may be relevant to hiring a new employee.

Prospective Tenant Background Investigations

Landlords know that accepting a new tenant can be risky. Therefore, before approving a new tenant many landlords will conduct criminal background checks and civil background investigations in order to help discover a person’s financial history as well as their overall lifestyle and personality. This will help landlords to ensure a tenant is less likely to damage the property, suddenly back out of the lease, or become unable to pay the rent, which can all cause significant hassle for a landlord. Additionally, a criminal background investigation will reveal any previous criminal behavior that could show if a person is likely to be dangerous to the landlord or other tenants.

Pre-Marital Background Investigations

With the increased use of online dating sites, it is becoming more difficult to know if you can trust your significant other to be honest. Therefore, many individuals will want a complete background check on their partner before taking the next step into marriage in order to protect themselves emotionally and financially. Pre-marital background investigations can reveal any unknown and alarming financial or criminal history before it is too late.

Nanny / Child Care Provider Background Investigations

It is important that you can trust whoever is responsible for providing care for your children. Therefore, we offer background investigation services for nannies, maids, babysitters, home nurses, private tutors, and any other type of child care providers. This will uncover any red flags or information in a person’s history that could be a sign that you, your children, or your valuables are at risk.
