When you are ready to hire individuals for your business, it important to screen them properly and thoroughly.
Drug tests, criminal records, driving records, education, and credit checks can be more controversial after a hire, so it’s a good idea to check before hiring.
Martin Investigative Services processes pre-hire background checks for you, and former supervisory Federal agents review all results.
We often turn up information on applicants that other companies and services don’t catch.
Tom and his team are excellent! They are very responsive and always deliver a thorough, detailed report.

Here’s what you need to know:
A background check is essential when finding someone of the right fit for your company.
However, according to the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are required to get the potential employee’s permission before obtaining records.
Most employers will obtain education, military service and medical records.
The rest is up to us. We will contact past employers to help you determine if the potential employee is right for your company and do background checks as well.
And we do so with professionalism and the appropriate authorization.
If you are an employer, consider doing pre-screening for all employees before you hire, to avoid the appearance of favoritism.

We discovered that the subject was not living in the district in which he was running, and that he was having an affair.
As a result, this person dropped out of the race.

MIS took the time to help me obtain more information on some traffic tickets from over 15 years ago that came up on a background check. With the county courts closed due to Coronavirus, I was struggling to find this information on my own and I needed to provide this information right away. Tom Martin took time out of his morning to help me with the additional information needed – he was very knowledgeable and delivered this within the same hour!
