Pre-Employment Screening Services by Medusa Investigative
In Seattle, many private investigators offer pre-employment screening services. However, savvy business owners and executives often choose Medusa Investigative because of our decades of experience and reputation as one of the top private investigators in the Pacific Northwest. Our team has extensive experience conducting thorough background checks on employees and job applicants. Based on your organization’s specific needs, we can carry out a standard, tier-one pre-employment screening, a tier-two comprehensive background check, or a tier-three extensive background investigation for your potential new hire. Our licensed private detectives are adept at identifying inconsistencies and deception that most HR personnel might miss. As one of the best private investigation firms in the region, Medusa Investigative can help you avoid hiring mistakes that could lead to significant issues later.
Partnering with a Private Investigator During the Hiring Process
Pre-employment screenings are among the most common background check investigations we conduct. Collaborating with a private investigations firm during the hiring process can save your company valuable time, particularly for smaller businesses without a large HR department. Even larger organizations can benefit, as our team brings a level of expertise in background investigations that many HR departments may lack. With decades of experience in various private investigation services, we understand state and federal business laws and use specialized techniques to conduct fast, thorough background checks for a wide range of clients.
Our standard pre-employment screenings include confirming the applicant’s name and key identification details, verifying their educational credentials and employment history, and performing a nationwide search for involvement in civil and criminal court proceedings over the past seven years. If an applicant has fabricated or omitted any relevant information, we’ll uncover it. If credentials on their application or resume don’t check out, Medusa Investigative will report the truth. While some discrepancies can be explained, outright dishonesty will be flagged, giving you the information needed to make informed hiring decisions.
Comprehensive and Extensive Background Screening Services
While our standard pre-employment background check is suitable for most clients, some organizations require more detailed screenings for certain positions. In these cases, Medusa Investigative offers tier-two comprehensive background checks and tier-three extensive background investigations.
In addition to the standard checks, a tier-two investigation includes verification of residential history, marital status, information about close family members and associates, financial history including bankruptcies, foreclosures, and tax liens, and checks for any fraudulent activities. Our tier-three services add further depth, including research into military service and affiliations, a detailed review of business associations and sources of income, information from confidential sources, and interviews with both direct and indirect references. The scope of our background investigations will be tailored to meet your specific needs. For more information, please visit our background checks and investigations services page or contact our office.
A thorough investigation can reveal critical details about a candidate’s history, allowing you to make the best hiring decisions based on your organization’s risk tolerance. Many employers in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest are open to giving second chances and creating opportunities for individuals who might have been considered unemployable a decade ago. At Medusa Investigative, we don’t dictate how you should run your operations. Our role in pre-employment screenings is to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the applicant, empowering you to make well-informed decisions.
