Since 1981, Data Quest's background investigation division has provided employers with comprehensive and accurate employment screening information, revealing the true identities and qualifications of individuals seeking employment.

By conducting in-depth background inquiries on prospective employees, employers can diminish legal risks, improve the quality of their workforce by hiring assets rather than liabilities and avoid negligent hiring.

Data Quest investigators will verify the credentials listed on an application, but they do not rely solely upon the information provided by the applicant. They will uncover what is vague, including missing information about former employers, gaps in employment and reasons for leaving present or past employers.

The depth of an employment screening is directly related to the type of position being filled and background checks can be tailored to each job description. Data Quest will assist with the development of an employment screening program ‚ one which not only suits a company's exact needs and budgetary guidelines, but is consistently followed in order to avoid potential charges of discrimination.

Data Quest is a full-service, licensed, corporate private investigations agency. Every employment screening is performed by an experienced and specially trained investigator who researches beyond the basic information provided by the applicant to develop a comprehensive and accurate character profile. Detailed background information along with accurate and timely retrieval of public record information is collected through a combination of resources, including a nationwide network of investigators, investigative telephone experience and access to privileged, high-level databases.

Because Data Quest recognizes that a company must act quickly to avoid losing a talented candidate to another company, reports are completed within 3 business days. The agency also recognizes that leading edge technology is meaningless without the ability to provide exceptional customer service. Clients are urged to call Data Quest's 800 telephone number for a free consultation or for an answer to any question they may have about the results of an employment screening.
