As potential employees become increasingly sophisticated and creative in their ability to embellish, exaggerate and in many cases directly deceive the potential employer, we are determined to stay on the cutting edge of background investigations. To do this we continually upgrade many of our practices, processes and the technology we use.

When designing or enhancing a background investigation program, IQ realizes that each industry and/or company has unique hiring needs. Accordingly, IQ can design a flexible and valuable background program tailored for each company and position. All of our investigations are conducted in strict compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and adhere to the highest degree of business ethics. A more detailed proposal can be developed to address your specific needs. Please call with any questions or to set up an appointment.
