"PRE-EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND SCREENING & DUE DILIGENCE"

Ness Group International specializes in providing background/pre-employment checks, (in compliance with FCRA, Fair Credit Reporting Act), for its Utility/Energy clients in the following areas:

• Corporate Officers/Board Members
• Corporate/Company selected Vendors
• IT Professionals
• Managers/Employees
• Due Diligence reports for potential Partnerships/Alliances or Acquisitions

Because Personnel/Businesses have "Privileged Access", to critical infrastructures, control systems, and facilities, the screening process will reduce risk.

Ness Group International uses "best in class" databases, court runners to insure accuracy, and experienced seasoned investigators. Our vendor/procurement program allows for the costs to be passed on to selected vendors as part of the procurement process.

If you have the need to research the background or financial stability of a company with whom you're considering doing business (i.e. Partnerships Alliances or Acquisitions) we can access more than 10 million public and private records throughout the U.S. You have the option to choose from several popular reports. Based on the descriptions below you can decide which one is best for you.
