Although some may think background checks are a mere formality, the process can reveal some essential information. For example, 36% of people admitted to lying on their resume, while an even greater number admitted to “stretching the truth.” When it comes to rental applications, 26% of people admitted they have lied. 

If an employer, landlord, or other party fails to do their due diligence in conducting background checks, they could wind up getting swindled — or, in some cases, perhaps even worse — yet background checks are a lot of work if you choose to do them yourself. Furthermore, running them through a third-party company can be quite costly, and the quality of these background checks may vary widely, especially if you decide to go with a cheaper provider. 

Considering the investment you are making by hiring an employee or renting out a home or apartment, you want to make sure that the results you get are valid and accurate. Thankfully, technology providers like KENTECH have emerged to revolutionize the background check process, making background checks easier, more efficient, and more reliable than ever before. 

“KENTECH is a revolutionary provider of investigative background check technology,” explains Kenneth Coats, CEO of KENTECH. “We help clients navigate risk while satisfying compliance demands and gain the competitive advantage derived from hiring superior human capital.”

Revolutionizing Background Check Technology

KENTECH specializes in a technology-based approach to background checks that combines efficient technology with well-trained and licensed staff. “We strive to eliminate long delays to get you closer to your next steps to hire,” says Coats. Our innovative hybrid approach of ‘HIGH TECH, HIGH TOUCH’ is powered by the latest technology offered to employers, law enforcement, non-profits, and education.”

Indeed, businesses and institutions of all kinds can be served by the advanced background check technology offered by KENTECH. Some of the industries that KENTECH commonly serves include:

• Employment: The average person is likely most familiar with background checks in an employment setting. Employers use background checks to check applicants against national, international, and county-level criminal files and to verify critical information like previous employment, professional licensure, education, fingerprints, and social security numbers.

• Government: The government can use background checks for various reasons, from investigations to identity verification. Depending on the needs of the requesting agency, a background check service can look into criminal records, credit reports, motor vehicle records, private and restricted records, and other crucial documentation.

• Educational Institutions: Educational institutions like colleges and universities can use background checks to verify both students and staff. KENTECH’s technology can be leveraged for various purposes, including drug screening, fingerprint, criminal history searches, immunization verification, verification of educational background, and more.

• Landlords: Background checks are becoming an increasingly important part of tenant applications for rental properties. Landlords can partner with a company like KENTECH to verify information like social security numbers, rental history, court evictions, credit reports, sex offender registries, and any other information they may need to verify.

Thanks to KENTECH’s combination of advanced technology and experienced employees, the company can deliver results quickly, reliably, and accurately. KENTECH provides quick, industry-leading turnaround times on everything from national criminal database searches to sex offender registry searches, domestic watch list searches, county criminal records searches, motor vehicle records searches, education verification, employment verification, drug testing, and more. KENTECH’s ability to give quick results to its clients ensures that they don’t run into any delays in the hiring process. 

How KENTECH’S Advanced Background Check Technology Can Help Your Enterprise

The most obvious benefit of working with a company like KENTECH for your background check technology is that they offer easy integration to existing software — such as HR or property management platforms — allowing you to streamline your screening process.

“As technology evolves, so has the need to change with it,” asserts Coats. “At its core, KENTECH is a technology company providing cutting-edge solutions you need to streamline your hiring workflow more securely, compliantly, and efficiently. This allows you to fully leverage your prior IT Investment while streamlining your screening process.”

Implementing advanced background check technology is also an excellent way to ensure compliance with any relevant state and federal regulations. For example, the Federal Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is one of the main background check regulations. 

“KENTECH assists our clients in ensuring FCRA compliance information by providing online templates for Applicant Disclosure and Consent, Adverse Action Letter, Consumer Dispute Process, and the Summary of Consumer Rights,” explains Coats.

Companies and organizations hoping to hire the right candidate for their needs should partner with a background check technology provider like KENTECH to power their hiring process. 

“Whether you’re a small business looking at your first hire or a Fortune 500 company with international locations, KENTECH can provide your organization with flexible, tailored screening solutions,” Coats concludes. “Our diverse mix of investigative tools is the result of continuous technological innovation, constant reiteration, and a drive to offer our clients the best industry solutions.”
