Services and Fees
Description of Services
The extent of any background check should be tailored to the requirements
of the position, the level and nature of “trust” in the
position, and legal limitations. We will work with you to tailor
a screening program to suit your unique needs, which may include
a combination of services from our two service arms: background
referencing and public records checks.
Background Referencing
The cornerstone of our background investigation program for our
many clients in the religious community is to make written inquiries
of the past educational institutions, employers, organizations,
and religious supervisors of an applicant. A series of thorough
screening questionnaires are utilized during this process. Click

of our clients.

Public Records Checks
Over the past decade, favorable legislation and the marvels of
modern technology have made it much easier to obtain revealing information
about an individual. Given the unique positions of trust held by
clergy and other church workers—and the lessons learned from
civil litigation—it is now common practice for religious organizations
to make greater use of this information as part of a comprehensive
candidate screening process. Though not a substitute for using other
screening tools or risk reduction techniques, relevant information
on an individual may be found in criminal history, motor vehicle
and credit bureau records. Our fees for public records checks do
not vary whether you are an individual church, diocese, or secular
employee and are as follows:
