A background check can reveal crucial information when making important decisions about hiring, partnerships, or even personal relationships. At ASG Investigations, our professional background investigations go far beyond basic online searches. With the help of a professional investigator, you can gain a clear and accurate understanding of someone’s history before making a commitment. Here are five common things that can appear on a thorough background check.
1. Criminal History
One of the most important pieces of information that can show up is a criminal record. This includes arrests, misdemeanor and felony convictions, outstanding warrants, and even charges that didn’t result in a conviction. For employers or individuals entering into agreements, understanding someone’s criminal past is critical for safety and liability.
2. Employment History
A proper background check will verify where someone has worked, for how long, and in what roles. Many candidates embellish or falsify their resumes. A professional background investigation ensures that employment claims are accurate, helping employers avoid hiring someone under false pretenses.
3. Education and Credentials
From fake diplomas to inflated academic achievements, verifying education is essential. A professional investigator can confirm whether degrees, licenses, or certifications are real and whether the individual actually completed the claimed programs. This is especially important in industries requiring specific qualifications or licensing.
4. Financial and Credit Information
In certain cases—especially for roles involving money management or sensitive data—financial background information may be included in a background check. This can reveal bankruptcies, liens, collections, or patterns of financial irresponsibility that could be red flags for fraud or theft.
5. Civil Records and Litigation History
A background check can also uncover lawsuits the individual has filed or been involved in, including divorce proceedings, business disputes, or personal injury claims. This type of information is particularly relevant when entering into business or legal partnerships.
