Why should I run background checks?
In today's world, the importance of background screening has become a vital part of everyday operations. If you are an employer, a property owner, or an individual searching for quality childcare or dating prospects, you never know whom you are about to invest in. Applicants are utilizing every means possible to hide their past and misrepresent themselves. Double Check Investigations helps take the uncertainty out of your screening practices and our goal is to assist you in making an informed decision.

Can I do it myself online or should I hire a professional?
Double Check Investigations strongly encourages hiring a professional to conduct your background screening and the reason is simple. It is very easy to sign up online and get instant results on a public record web page. But you need to question the results. Double Check conducts research at the county level and that is the only way to ensure the results are accurate and up-to-date. Our nationwide network will go directly to the courthouse and pull the data to ensure you are getting the most current and accurate information. Our team of investigators may also have access to information that you cannot get as an individual. Hiring a Double Check Investigator is the best way to ensure quality in your background screening.

How do I justify the cost of the services?
The Double Check price is a low cost solution to all of your background screening needs. If you are an employer, you are reducing the company’s liability by conducting background checks. If you are a property owner or manager, you are not leasing to a tenant that may be a threat to others or who has a history of breaking leases. By not conducting background checks, or by conducting incomplete or ineffective screenings, you can be held liable through vicarious liability (see FAQS). Double Check helps reduce your liability by informing you of an applicant's past and allowing you to make an informed decision.
If you are in need of background screening on a personal level the results are obvious. Protecting yourself and your loved ones is priceless.

What is Vicarious Liability?
Vicarious Liability is a form of responsibility for the actions of others that falls on the employer or property owner when they fail to complete due diligence in screening procedures. Double Check helps reduce this by completing effective background investigations on all applicants so that all of your bases are covered. Due diligence is set forth by the courts and it is the idea that if the employer/property owner “could” have known, then they “should” have known. What they “should” have known is referring to a criminal history. Due diligence is completed on all Double Check services.

What is the FCRA all about?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governs all consumer reports. It sets forth the laws that must be upheld when conducting background screening and most importantly, when looking at credit history. All of Double Check Investigation's services are FCRA compliant.
