BACKGROUND CHECKS

What is it?

The Discreet Investigations Consultants Africa’s investigative research department conducts thorough, comprehensive criminal records checks for clients across Canada. We operate in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia! We work with corporate clients, legal individuals, employers, not-for-profit organizations, landlords, and private individuals. Criminal record checks enable individuals and organizations to make an informed decision about hiring staff, working with a contractor, renting to a tenant, or knowing who you’re dating etc. If you require a background check, your first call should be to our private investigators. Performing a thorough and accurate criminal record check requires experience that can only come from an established and reputable investigative agency. There are online background check companies that complete background checks but the results are the difference. You need more than a yes or no to a criminal history you, need the facts and the things uncovered to make a proper decision.

A criminal record check is a comprehensive report that reveals the facts about a subject, including but not limited to criminal records, provincial and superior court checks, litigation and legal matters, education verification, marital information, and employment history. For jobs that require a high level of security, or whether you want reassurance about someone you welcome into your home, a background check provides the necessary peace of mind. In today’s day and age you cannot rely on someone’s word alone, you need the facts.

Get your thorough background check done promptly

To engage in a background check in Toronto, we recommend that you speak with one of our expert private investigators to determine your case’s best course of action. Not every background check is the same, and not every client’s requirements are the same. After we determine what you will need in your background search, we will have you complete our general assignment form with all the subject information.

If you have:

  • A full name
  • Date of birth

That’s helpful! However, our experts can still work on your case if you have less information.

Workplace Background Checks

 

Many companies both large and small choose to perform criminal record checks on potential hires in order to protect their business interests, customers, and staff. Trade secrets and confidential data are shared with employees once they have been hired, and it’s important that employers know who they are trusting with their business and brand. Not everyone is honest on job applications, whether simply overstating their credentials and experience or in an attempt to conceal red flags from their past. Pre-employment screening and criminal record checks verify if an applicant is telling the truth about their past, or may reveal a problematic history that could save your organization trouble and a financial loss. Enlisting the services of a licensed PI agency to perform thorough background checks in Toronto, and Calgary, as well as other areas on employees, is the best way to ensure full transparency throughout the hiring process.
