How much information do you need before you are comfortable making a decision? The answer to this question is critical for choosing between standard and enhanced background checks. While a standard background check will provide enough information in some cases, additional background investigation services will be necessary in others.

Standard Background Checks

What is a standard background check? The answer to this question depends on who you ask. For example, at Sunset Blvd. Investigations, Inc. (SBI), our “standard” background investigation services, go much further than those provided by many other companies. This is because most other companies simply don’t have the experience or resources that we are able to efficiently leverage for our clients.

Generally speaking, however, a standard background check focuses on examining information that is publicly available—court records, online profiles, and the like. If you just want to know that someone isn’t a felon and generally appears to be an upstanding citizen, then a standard background check might be sufficient for your purposes.

Enhanced Background Checks

An enhanced background check goes much deeper—or it can go much deeper depending on your specific needs.

When we provide enhanced background investigation services to our clients, we custom-tailor our services to the specific goals they are trying to achieve. Do you want to know everything that is out there? Do you want to make sure someone doesn’t have any recent arrests (which wouldn’t necessarily show up on a standard background check)? Are you seeking to verify a job candidate’s academic record or employment history? Do you need to know whether someone has a history of drug addiction, domestic violence, or politically charged online activity?

This is just a small sampling of the types of concerns we can help you address by conducting an enhanced background check. Depending on your needs, our enhanced background check services can include:

Investigating academic credentials or employment history
Investigating social media history
Investigating relationships, political activities, and arrests
Obtaining financial information
Obtaining information from relevant nonpublic databases

These are just examples. With decades of experience—including prior experience as federal agents—we are able to offer extensive background investigation services. Once you get in touch, we will work with you to outline exactly what you need to know, and then we will leverage our experience and resources to complete your enhanced background check as quickly as possible. As we perform our services, we will keep you updated along the way, and if we uncover any information that renders further investigation unnecessary, we can shift our focus to someone else.
