Background / Social Media Screening

A background screening is the process of verifying and looking up information, compiling criminal records, civil records and financial records. Examples are, such as pre-employment screening, nanny screening or caregiver screening and tenant screening. We are living in a dangerous and complex world, with the current international and domestic terrorists, thus our clients rely on thorough background investigation to keep their work places safe.

Background checks are often requested by employers for job candidates, especially on candidates seeking a position that requires high security or a position of trust such as in a school, hospital, financial institution, airport, the government (including law enforcement and military). These checks are traditionally administered by a government agency for a nominal fee, but can also be administered by Cypress Investigations, LLC. Results of a background screening typically include past employment verification, criminal history, and possible questionable behaviors.
Employers, citizens and legal professionals use background checks as a means of objectively evaluating a job candidate's qualifications and to identify potential hiring risks. However, these checks may sometimes be used for illegal purposes, such as lawful discrimination (or employment discrimination), identity theft, and violation of privacy.
