Who
can benefit from BEST SELF USA’s
Customized Background Checks?
Customized Background Checks?
If you do routine, small business deals, and hire
employees that do not handle your money, you may not need comprehensive background
checks. However, if you are at risk for employment application fraud, or if
your agents or employees handle company funds, do NOT rely on data base
background checks. The question of the risk involved is not IF you will be
subject to dishonesty, but when.
If your background security check needs are less
complicated you can mix and match what service you need from the list below.

Why
is BEST SELF USA so thorough?
What you will get from most standard background check
services will be a data base check on credit and criminal history. The quality
of this standard check is mixed, depending upon the service provider, but even
the best standard services are not thorough enough to protect an employer or
investor.
Example 1 – A new logistics company agent
was vetted by a standard service. He then fraudulently created shipment invoices
and stole well over $10,000 from his agency. It was later discovered that he
was actually under indictment for
fraud when the standard data base background check was done. Since he had not
yet been convicted, his name had not
yet shown up on any data bases, however our background check revealed that his arrest and indictments were reported in the local media and
recorded in the local court records. Instead
of using a company that only does standard data base checks, had this company
received a very thorough background check as is routine procedure at BEST SELF
USA, this applicant in question would have been discovered, and the costly theft
could have been prevented.
Example 2 – A data base check on a
potential agent of a nationwide company showed a DUI as the only criminal
charge. The data base check of federal records showed “no records reported.”
However BEST SELF USA’s media check revealed an archived newspaper article
reporting a earlier conviction for embezzlement of union funds. Court records are
usually purged after seven years. Media records go back for decades. The thorough
check done by BEST SELF USA discovered the previous conviction which was denied
by the potential agent. Other
discrepancies in this person’s application were also revealed.
Example 3 – A person who applied to be
an agent for a national company easily passed a data base check on credit and
criminal history. However, the BEST SELF USA investigator was suspicious
because of the lack of a historical record of any significance. Even though the
passport records were properly vetted, there was still difficulty tracing
previous residences. The last three residences we did find were rented by a
person using an alias, and had values of less than $100,000. A review of the
current address and property records revealed that the person owned a home with
a property value of over $2 million. There was nothing in this person’s history
to indicate enough of an income to afford such a home. Our check on the relatives
of this individual discovered that a family member had been involved in one of
the largest fraud cases ever presented for prosecution by the FBI. Without the due diligence and thoroughness of
a BEST SELF USA investigator, this person would have been approved to have
hundreds of thousands of dollars of company money pass through their bank
account
Example 4 – We have discovered high risk factors in some candidates and new hires that had passed through Human Resources screening. Several personality inventories can by administered. The
one we find most revealing is a Personality Disorder Indicator. This type of
personality inventory is vitally important for any business. People with
personality disorders often seem, in the beginning, like the “Golden Boy” or
“Wonder Woman,” and easily slip through the Human Resources department
screening. They later become significantly troublesome, and can do severe damage
to a corporation. This inventory scans for pathological traits in all fourteen
personality disorders.
The inventory was developed by John M. Oldham,
MD, MS - Senior Vice President and Chief of Staff, The Menninger Clinic. Dr. Oldham wrote the
personality disorder section of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV and the new
DSM V.
