Some Background Researchers Can Drive You Nuts

Some criminal background investigators can drive you nuts.

It wasn't to long ago a Ben something from England quoted a police clearance site from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police and ascertained from it that all record checks in Japan are illegal.

It wasn't too long a go a Bill somone published a background checking book and wrote criminal record checks in Hong Kong were illegal.

It wasn't too long ago a Wayne somebody spoke at a conference (The India Background Investigator Conference) and said all types of criminal record checks were illegal.

Beware these guys - for they know not what they speak.  (soory for the imperfect quote).

They drive me nuts and cost all of us a lot of money.

When we believe them (why, I do not know) we lose when we hire the wrong candidate based on their advice not to do a search.

When we have to disprove them, it costs time and money to re-educate ourselves.

What their motives are I'll never know.  They are all beginners in the records field. Maybe that's why.
