What's on Your Background Check?


Do you know what's on your background check? Are you confident there is nothing on there that would prevent you from getting a job?

A common complaint among job seekers is that they apply for a job, have a great interview and then get are rejected after believing they were a top candidate for the position.

IAmScreened.com was developed to help job seekers find out what exactly is on their background check before they even go through the interview process. Since its inception in early 2009, IAmScreened.com has found that roughly 30% of its customers have found errors or criminal records on their background checks that they weren't aware of.

One customer had been trying to find a job for over six months and couldn't understand why he wasn't having any luck. Desperate, he turned to IAmScreened.com and ordered a full background check on himself. The results were shocking, yet most helpful. He discovered that the university he attended was reporting he did not earn a degree, but only attended school there. He said, "I can't believe that all this time, my potential employers thought I was lying on my application." He contacted his university and was easily able to get his information corrected. He was employed shortly thereafter.

IAmScreened.com offers three levels of background checks so customers can get exactly what suits their needs. Everything from criminal background checks to employment verifications is offered for a reasonable cost and these are the exact same checks an employer can request. Reports are normally returned to customers in one to three working days. IAmScreened.com also offers customer support to those who have issues or questions about their background checks.

This is really great news. I've been trying to find out for ages how to get something like this. I keep getting turned down for jobs and they won't tell me why!

Wow, now I can see if potential employers will know about the DUI I received when I was in college...

It's about time a service like this was available. The economy is miserable and I've been applying for months now with zero luck. Hopefully this can help me get to the bottom of why.

I just ordered mine, can't wait to see what's in there. I think it's great that people can finally see their own report and can know what the employers have access to.

I have used a service like this before and it really helped put my mind at ease. Knowing what's out there is key.

So many sites just give you phone book info and incomplete criminal data. This site gives actual criminal records from the courts. You can get court info from the courts but you have to deal with the counties. This is much easier
