FAQ
Q: Why should we conduct a background check on the people we hire?
A: A criminal history search will limit your exposure for "negligent hiring" practices and will decrease your risk of theft and violence in the workplace. To a large extent, you are responsible for the actions of your employees while they're on the job. If a worker you hire hurts someone while working for you or if their shoddy work causes injury, you're liable.
Q: How much does a criminal background check cost?
A: Inquiries, Inc. is dedicated to providing background checks at a very reasonable cost. There are a number of factors which will determine cost. Please email or call Inquiries, Inc. for your price quote.
Q: How long does it take for a background check to be returned to me?
A: Turn around time is generally 24 to 48 hours with results from some states being returned in less than 24 hours.
Q: How can we be certain that the criminal background check is accurate and thorough?
A: There are many different companies that offer background checks, however, you want to work with a company that offers data that comes directly from the courthouses. Inquiries, Inc. uses a network of legal researchers and investigators that work directly in the courthouses. There are many companies that offer database information that is only collected from the courts every so often. Some databases are only updated once or twice a year. If that is the case, there could be a lapse from the time that an applicant is screened to the time that he/she is hired where they could have been convicted of a crime. You may not find out about the conviction until it is too late! Be sure to ask the company you are considering working with where their information is coming from and how up to date it is.
Q: What other services are important in a thorough background screening?
A: Social security number verification, driving record search, employment and education verifications are just a few and YES, we do them all.
