▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.co/TimSantoni Instant Background Check - Tip of the Day On this episode Tim Santoni talks about the issues and red flags when it comes to the INSTANT BACKGROUND CHECK. The idea of a comprehensive, national and instant background check is great in theory, but isn't something that is possible. This would assume that every state, county and federal court (civil & criminal) was available for electronic scraping and reporting. This simply is not the case. Instant background checks run by a screening company or via a website can only provide information available in certain databases. This means that the information is not up to date and will be missing information in certain states. California and New York are two states where many of the counties and the statewide search (New York) require access fees just to search the records. Be careful when using instant, online, quick-turn background databases. What you don't know is what you are missing and unless you are a professional researcher you won't know what states and counties are being searched. ++++++++++++++ Tim Santoni is passionate about Risk Mitigation.
