Gold Shield Legal Investigations, Inc.

         WHY GOLD SHIELD?

Many companies are finding that it is profitable and time efficient to outsource pre-employment screening.  Why? Well, in order to do the job right, the company has to spend time and energy  ($$$) to learn and stay up to date with the many Federal and State laws that apply to background screening.    They realize that an honest mistake, or oversight, can result in criminal and/or civil action against the company.  In addition, more time and energy  ($$$) is spent contacting the previous employers, references and educational institutions, often spending more time ($$$) playing phone tag.  One call to us, and you can do what you do best...grow your business. 

  Our representatives will work with you to develop a customized approach to your background investigation needs.  We offer three levels of investigation, three price ranges, and over 30 database searches to select from which allows you to customize EACH search.  In other words, you select the database checks that you think are important and pay for only what you need.  We take the time to personally contact references and past employers, thus saving your company valuable time and money.  This is a service unique to Gold Shield.

We offer NATIONWIDE searches, and take the time to verify the information we receive by contacting that jurisdiction or making a trip to the court house.

NOTE: We do not require any long term contracts or a minimum number of searches. If your needs are more extensive than the searches listed, we can accommodate your requirements thoroughly and professionally.  

At the conclusion of the process,  you will be provided with a report detailing our findings and directing your attention to any specific areas where additional scrutiny may be needed.   Gold Shield will not give legal advise or services, but guarantee the procedures we use in the course of our investigations are in complete compliance with Federal and State laws.  We are aware that the applicant we screen may become our valued employee, therefore it is important that the screening process be respectful to all parties.

Will my information be protected?

ABSOLUTELY,  the information we receive from you(the client) or the information received on the person you want screened is kept in the strictest confidence.  Under no circumstances will any personal information be given to another person or company for ANY reason!  We respect your privacy and those of the applicant.

There are so many laws that apply to Pre-employment screening.  How will I know them all? 

Let us worry about that!  We take pride that  we are current with Federal and state regulations as they apply to pre-employment background screening.  Our clients are provided with the necessary legal forms.

I feel like I am invading someone's privacy, am I?

Absolutely not!  A background check is a look into the public aspect of the applicant's life.  We look for information such as a criminal record, safe driving record, their professional license, name and Social Security Information.  These are facts that you need to know in order to make an informed hiring decision.
