Understanding Massachusetts Criminal Records

July 2, 2014 McLaughlin PI Leave a Comment

Each state in the United States have their courts set up a little different. Some states and counties checking a criminal record is easy. In other states it is time consuming and expensive to check a criminal record. For example, you can run a statewide criminal check in New York NY and have the results within 24 hours but the state charges a $58 fee! Many states and court houses are free or the fee is minimal.

However Massachusetts court system is somewhat unique. The only statewide criminal record check for Massachusetts is CORI but it is expensive and has limitation and formulas on what information will be returned. I will explain CORI records in more detail in another blog post.

Massachusetts Criminal records are naturally kept in courts. Massachusetts courts are made up by Superior and District courts. Superior courts are based on counties. Each county could have one or two criminal courts. In Boston there is one Suffolk Superior court. In Middlesex Superior courts are located in Lowell and Woburn. Essex County has Superior courts in Lawrence and Salem, MA.

District Courts in Massachusetts is where things get confusing. Each county has multiple District courts. In District Courts a person can be charged with misdemeanors and or felonies. These district courts are not available on the internet. A private investigator or a person needs to go to the court house to search the records.

The pre-employment screening process

August 19, 2009 McLaughlin PI Leave a Comment

The primary purpose behind our comprehensive pre-employment screening process is that it frees you of all the tensions involved with hiring the right person for your company. With job applicants approaching you from not just within your own town or city, but from other cities and countries too, it’s not only extremely expensive to hire competent personnel, it can be excruciatingly costly if the antecedents of the applicant are not verified and he or she misleads you or your hiring department as a result.
Our process of carrying out pre-employment screening

The process of carrying out pre-employment screening can be as simple and as complex as your requirement. All in all, here’s the process that we follow at McLaughlin Investigative Group Inc d/b/a EmploySecure.com:

Your job applicants sign the release form: If you want to conduct a pre-employment background check upon your applicants must should sign a release form that indicates they have no objection to the check. We proceed only after receiving the release form.
You initiate the process: After logging onto your secure account at EmploySecure.com you initiate the pre-employment screening process.
The screening takes place: At EmploySecure.com our client’s decide the level of background check they want to conduct on their applicants. It can be as simple as verifying a Social Security number to conducting multi county and federal criminal searches, credit and driving history reports. Our experienced researchers and investigators visit relevant places and collect the information and review it for you.
A detailed report is prepared: Once all the information is gathered a detailed report is prepared that you can access through your secure account at EmploySecure.com.

If our report listed negative information on the applicant which may adversely effect the hiring decision you should provide a copy of the report to the applicant and a pre-adverse letter notifying the applicant you are about to take negative action. Also provide the applicant a copy of the FCRA Summary of Rights. Once that is completed you can send a notification of adverse action.

In case there’s a positive outcome, there’s no hurdle stopping you from hiring the applicant. In both the cases you can bask in the glory of having made the right hiring decision.

Pre-employment Screening

July 29, 2009 McLaughlin PI 2 Comments

Studies have established that 40% of people put misleading information on their resume.
Pre-employment screening saves you from litigation and costly hiring mistakes. When you hire people for your organization a lot is at stake in terms of money, time, reputation and even your brand. Once you have hired a person you and your company can be held liable for his or her actions especially when you don’t hire him or her through proper pre-employment screening procedure.

Hiring aptly talented and trustworthy employees is highly critical for your survival and growth whether you are a small business or a Fortune 500 company. As technology and science takes long strides, screening requirements have evolved into intricate exercises. Simple reference checks just don’t work these days as security breaches, data and identity thefts, workplace harassments, drug addiction and financial embezzlement are becoming rampant.
At McLaughlin Investigative Group Inc. pre-employment screening division, www.EmploySecure.com we use the state-of-the-art technology and well-established procedures and methods to provide world-class pre-employment screening services in Massachusetts, Boston and nationwide. Our services include, verifying and collecting information regarding:

County level criminal records
Federal criminal records
State driving records
Address to criminal records
Employment verification
Education verification
Drug testing and screening
Statewide criminal search
Nationwide criminal search
Credit reports
Worker’s compensation records
Social security number verification trace

We’ll be discussing all these services in various blog posts, whenever the context permits.

Is pre-employment screening prohibitively costly? Hardly. While hiring a suitable employee for your company you may spend anywhere between $4,000 and $50,000, you can avail our pre-employment screening services at a tiny fraction of this cost; merely 0.5% to 2%, dependent upon the features you want included.
Do you think pre-employment screening is an overkill and waste of money? Although we don’t believe in spreading phobias and a feeling of mistrust between employers and employees, as I’ve mentioned above, over 40% job candidates lie on their resumes. Worse, almost 11% pre-employment screenings reveal criminal records. These figures more than justify thorough and professional investigation and verification before you hire someone.

To learn more about screening your potential employees and how to make sure your company is compliant with FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), visit our screening website, www.EmploySecure.com.

Until next time…
