Building Personal Background Checks a “Do-It-Yourself” Project

With winter nearly over, now is the time to start thinking about “Spring cleaning” and other “do-it-yourself” projects. One such "do-it-yourself" project that you might consider is building your own Personal Background Check.

Who needs to have a personal background check? Most everyone these days. Companies use your personal identifying information to access various public and private sources to determine if any criminal, credit, employment, or other records exist. A personal background check is the virtually same report except it is requested and paid for by the individual subject of the report.

Why would individuals consider supplying their own "do-it-yourself" personal background checks? To get what they want, of course:

  • Jobseekers want employers to know their past employment isn't falsified;
  • Tenants want landlords to see that they have never been evicted or sued;
  • Students want their school records available for school admission boards;
  • Volunteers want non-profit organizations to know they’re safe to work with;
  • Nannies/babysitters want parents to see they are qualified child care givers;
  • Teachers/tutors want their education references verified for their students;
  • Contractors/vendors want their licensure up-to-date and past work reviewed;
  • "Friends" on social networking sites want other "friends" to know they're safe;
  • Individual consumers want control of their own sensitive personal information;
  • And all of the above want to show that they have clean criminal backgrounds.

The number of consumer-requested and applicant-supplied background checks is on the rise. Unfortunately, many background check companies only focus on employers and corporations. MyBackgroundCheck.com is a pioneer in consumer-requested background checks and a leading provider of applicant-supplied background checks for employers, landlords, schools, volunteer organizations, families, and individuals worldwide. With an account from MyBackgroundCheck.com, members can order their own customized background checks, share the results with anyone they want, and protect themselves from identity theft by taking control of their own personal information.
