Employment Background Checks: Myth vs. Reality
Common misconceptions that put employers at risk.
"All background check companies do the same thing."
Many providers rely exclusively on database searches. Investigator-led firms like DatabaseRecords.com verify results at county courthouses, providing accuracy that database-only providers cannot match.
"Instant background checks are just as accurate as thorough ones."
Speed and accuracy are often inversely correlated. A 24-hour courthouse-verified search is far more defensible than an instant database-only result.
"A clean database search means the candidate has no record."
Database searches can miss records from jurisdictions that don't contribute data. Only a county court search confirms whether records exist in a specific location.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an employment background check take?
Most background checks are completed within 24-72 hours. County court searches may take longer depending on the jurisdiction and court processing times.
Are your background checks FCRA compliant?
Yes, all our employment background checks are fully FCRA compliant. We provide the required disclosures, authorization forms, and adverse action notices.
What is the difference between a database search and a courthouse search?
Database searches compile information from various sources but may be incomplete or outdated. Courthouse searches access records directly from the source, providing more accurate and up-to-date information.
