INVESTIGATIVE INFORMATION BROKERS

Q. WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED TO LOCATE A MISSING PERSON?

A. WE ALWAYS NEED A NAME. WITHOUT A NAME, IT WOULD BE LIKE SEARCHING FOR A GHOST. WE NEED THE NAME THE INDIVIDUAL WOULD BE GOING BY AT THE TIME OF YOUR SEARCH. SEARCHING FOR A MALE INDIVIDUAL IS MORE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE MALES DO NOT CHANGE THEIR LAST NAME. WHEN SEARCHING FOR A FEMALE, IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MAIDEN NAME, WE CAN ALSO SEARCH BY FIRST NAME AND EXACT DATE OF BIRTH AND THE LISTING WILL PULL UP ALL FEMALES, NO MATTER WHAT THEIR LAST NAME IS. THE MORE ACCURATE INFORMATION CRITERIA YOU CAN SUPPLY US BETTERS THE CHANCE WE WILL LOCATE YOUR MISSING PERSON. IF YOU HAVE AVAILABLE, LAST KNOWN COMPLETE ADDRESS, LAST KNOW CITY OR STATE, LAST KNOW STATE, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, EXACT DATE OF BIRTH OR APPROXIMATE AGE RANGE. ANY OF THIS INFORMATION IS BENEFICIAL TO YOUR CHANCES OF LOCATING THE INDIVIDUAL. REMEMBER, EXACT ACCURATE SPELLING OF THE INDIVIDUAL YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS CRUCIAL - ONE WRONG LETTER CAN THROW OFF YOUR WHOLE SEARCH. GOOK LUCK IN LOCATING YOUR INDIVIDUAL. 

Return to the top of page

Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN'T LOCATE OR IDENTIFY THE EXACT INDIVIDUAL I AM LOOKING FOR?

A. YOU WILL RECEIVE A CLOSEST POSSIBILITY LISTING FROM US AND WE WILL ADVISE YOU TO WRITE A LETTER TO ALL INDIVIDUALS LISTED ON THE REPORT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON TO RESPOND TO YOU. THE ADDRESSES CONNECTED TO THE REPORT SHOULD BE CURRENT AND IF YOUR INDIVIDUAL IS ON THE LIST, THEY SHOULD RESPOND. WE HAVE HAD CLIENTS WITH GREAT SUCCESS USING THIS METHOD. 

Return to the top of page

Q. IS THIS REPORT I ORDER GUARANTEED?

A. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE WE WILL LOCATE THE INDIVIDUAL YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT 
CRITERIA IS THAT YOUR INDIVIDUAL MUST BE A FUNCTIONAL INDIVIDUAL. IF THE INDIVIDUAL YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS HOMELESS, IN AN INSTITUTION OR NURSING HOME OR IN PRISON, THIS GREATLY REDUCES YOUR CHANCES OF LOCATING HIM/HER . AGAIN, THE INDIVIDUAL MUST BE OVER THE AGE OF 18 AND BE USING THE NAME YOU HAVE PROVIDED.

Return to the top of page

Q. HOW DO YOU SEARCH FOR AN INDIVIDUAL?

A. WE HAVE COMPLIED OVER 100 DIFFERENT OPEN RECORD DATA BASES SOURCES INTO ONE REPORT.

REMEMBER TO CHECK OFF YOUR REASON FOR SEARCHING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ON OUR ORDER FORM. YOU MUST HAVE A PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE FOR US TO SEARCH. REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE.
YOUR REPORT IS TO BE USED AS A TOOL TO HELP LOCATE YOUR INDIVIDUAL.

Q. DOES THIS REPORT HELP ME LOCATE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT OWES ME CHILD SUPPORT?

A. THIS REPORT NOT ONLY HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING INDIVIDUALS THAT OWE CHILD SUPPORT, BUT ABOVE AND BEYOND THIS REPORT HAS LOCATED INDIVIDUALS THAT COULD NOT BE FOUND FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS, WITNESSES, MISSING PERSONS, COLLECTION ON MONEY JUDGEMENTS AND MUCH MORE. LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY, IF WE CAN'T SEARCH AND LOCATE THE FACTS YOU NEED... NOBODY CAN!

Q. CAN I RECEIVE A REFUND OF MY MONEY IF YOU DO NOT LOCATE THE INDIVIDUAL I AM LOOKING FOR?

A. WE DO NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY ONCE THE REPORT IS ORDERED AND GENERATED THROUGH THE SOURCES. USUALLY, WE START YOUR SEARCH IMMEDIATELY. THIS REPORT HAS A 95% HIT RATIO.

SEARCH YOUR NANNY'S PAST AND INDIVIDUAL BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS

A. WE CAN ALWAYS DO A SEARCH ON YOUR APPLICANT. WE DO ADVISE THROUGH, THAT YOU DO NOT PLACE AN EMPLOYEE IN YOUR HOME UNTIL WE HAVE COMPLETED YOUR SEARCH.

Return to the top of page

Q. I FEEL THAT BY INFORMING MY POTENTIAL APPLICANT THAT I WANT TO PERFORM A BACKGROUND SEARCH ON HER/HIM IS VERY INSULTING. I FEEL THAT THEY MAY THINK I DO NOT TRUST THEM BEFORE THEY EVEN START TO WORK FOR ME. I DO NOT WANT THEM TO THINK THAT I THINK THAT THEY MAY BE A CRIMINAL. BY PULLING UP THEIR HISTORY I FEEL THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED PERSONAL INFORMATION AND COULD JEOPARDIZE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY EMPLOYEE BEFORE THEY EVEN BEGIN WORKING FOR ME. WILL THE APPLICANT KNOW I AM PERFORMING THIS BACKGROUND SEARCH ON THEM? 

A. NO IN MOST CASES, UNLESS YOU REVEAL THE SEARCH TO THEM. TO PERFORM SOME OF THE SEARCH REPORTS WE OFFER WE DO NEED YOUR APPLICANTS CONSENT. WE DO SUGGEST THAT YOU HAVE NO HESITATION IN INFORMING YOUR APPLICANT THAT YOU WILL BE PERFORMING A BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION. IF YOU FEEL YOUR APPLICANT EXHIBITS ANY HESITATION OR IS NOT COOPERATIVE, THERE MAY BE SOMETHING IN HIS/HER HISTORY THAT THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO FIND OUT ABOUT WHICH COULD BECOME CRITICAL IF NOT DISCOVERED BEFORE YOU HIRE YOUR APPLICANT. (PLEASE VIEW OUR PROOF PAGE UNDER OUR SECTION OF SEARCH YOUR NANNY'S PAST OR BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS. PLEASE ALSO VIEW OUR COMPANY NEWSLETTER SECTION). AS PRIVATE DETECTIVES, YOU ARE HIRING US TO VERIFY INFORMATION YOUR APPLICANT HAS GIVEN TO YOU. YOU ARE OUR CLIENT AND THE INVESTIGATIONS RESULTS WILL BE MAILED TO YOU. ALWAYS REMEMBER, IF YOU AS THE EMPLOYER DECIDE NOT TO PERFORM A BACKGROUND SEARCH FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT YOU FEEL YOU WILL INSULT YOUR POTENTIAL EMPLOYEE APPLICANT BY ASKING THEM TO CONSENT, IF ANY BACKGROUND HISTORY IS NOT DISCOVERED THAT COULD OF BEEN DISCOVERED, YOU AS THE EMPLOYER HAVE A LOT MORE TO LOOSE THAN YOUR APPLICANT. YOUR EMPLOYEE APPLICANT ONLY HAS TO LOOSE A EMPLOYMENT POSITION IF THEY REFUSE TO CONSENT. USE YOUR GUT INSTINCTS ALWAYS AND DO NOT BE WORRIED THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HURT YOUR APPLICANTS FEELINGS OR THEY WILL VIEW YOUR REQUEST AS DEMEANING. IF YOU ASK THEM TO GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO PERFORM A BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION ON THEM, IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE AND ARE SINCERE, THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THIS REQUEST. A NEGATIVE REACTION CAN OCCUR WHEN AN EMPLOYEE APPLICANT HAS SOME SITUATION IN THEIR PAST THAT THEY DO NOT WANT DISCOVERED. 

THINK ABOUT THIS, WOULD A MORTGAGE COMPANY GIVE YOU A LOAN TO PURCHASE A HOUSE IF THEY DO NOT THROUGHLY INVESTIGATE YOUR FINANCIAL HISTORY. YOU AS THE EMPLOYER RUN ALL THE RISK WHEN HIRING AN EMPLOYEE, NOT YOUR EMPLOYEE APPLICANT. INQUIRE BEFORE YOU HIRE!

Return to the top of page

Q. WHAT IF MY APPLICANT HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD IN ANOTHER STATE AND THEY DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THAT STATE, CAN YOU FIND THIS OUT FOR ME?

A. THE BEST THAT WE CAN DO IS ADVISE YOU TO ALWAYS ORDER OUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER VERIFICATION REPORT. IT WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH INFORMATION OF A 7 TO 10 YEAR HISTORY TO CURRENT ON ANY ADDRESSES YOUR APPLICANT HAS RELEASED IN THE SOURCES. IF WE SEE OTHER STATES THAT YOUR APPLICANT HAS BEEN AFFILIATED WITH, WE WILL CONTACT YOU.

A. YES, WE WOULD ADVISE YOU TO PERFORM A THOROUGH SEARCH WHICH INVOLVES COLLECTING AS MUCH INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU. IF YOU DO NOT SEARCH A JURISDICTION THAT WE KNOW ABOUT ON YOUR APPLICANT, WE CAN NOT TELL YOU IF PAST RECORDS EXIST IN THAT JURISDICTION. 

Return to the top of page

Q. IS THERE A STATEWIDE OR NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL SEARCH AVAILABLE?

A. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL SEARCH AVAILABLE. OUR CRIMINAL AND CIVIL SEARCHES ARE OBTAINED BY OPEN RECORD COURT RECORDS ON THE STATE LEVEL. WE MUST SEARCH BY JURISDICTION. JURISDICTION COULD MEAN SEVERAL OR ONE OR TWO CITIES INCLUDED IN ONE JURISDICTION. MARYLAND IS THE ONLY STATE THAT SERVES AS ONE JURISDICTION, SO WHEN YOU SEARCH THE STATE OF MARYLAND WE WILL SEARCH ALL CITIES IN THE STATE OR COUNTIES OF MARYLAND. WASHINGTON, D.C. SERVES AS ONE JURISDICTION AS WELL.

Return to the top of page

Q. WHAT IS MY APPLICANT DOES NOT HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, CAN YOU STILL DO A SEARCH ON MY APPLICANT?

A. YES, WE CAN STILL DO A SEARCH, BUT WE DO ADVISE TO ALWAYS HIRE AN APPLICANT THAT DOES OWN A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. THIS SECURES YOU THAT YOUR APPLICANT IS CONNECTED TO THE UNITED STATES. ALSO, YOU NEED TO HAVE A VALID SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO PAY YOUR APPLICANT THEIR SALARY.

Return to the top of page

Q. MY APPLICANT HAS COME TO THE UNITED STATES FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND HAS A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, DOES THIS MEAN THAT THEY ARE LEGAL TO WORK IN THE UNITED STATES?

A. THE ONLY WAY WE WOULD ADVISE YOUR APPLICANT IS LEGAL TO WORK IN THE UNITED STATES, IS IF THEY PRESENT YOU WITH A WORKERS PERMIT THAT HAS NOT EXPIRED OR A GREEN CARD THAT LOOKS SIMILAR TO A DRIVERS LICENSE OR AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP DOCUMENTS. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS, WE WOULD ADVISE YOU TO CONTACT THE I.N.S. IN YOUR STATE.
