Pre-Employment Screening and Background Checks

Employees represent you and your business. Very often your employees can make or break a going concern. However, many resumes and applications contain material misstatements and omissions. Hiring someone based on resumes, personal recommendations or a “gut feeling” can be the recipe for disaster.

Advent Investigations is now providing statewide criminal history checks to protect the interests of employers in the State of New Jersey. The benefit of using Advent is that the search can be completed within three business days. Additionally, the cost per search is less than is typically charged by the State of New Jersey. Search results include the dates, charges, disposition and locations related to any indictable crimes within the State of New Jersey.

In addition, Advent is currently seeking access to the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission’s database. Once online, we will be able to provide a five year driver’s history and determine if a license is currently valid or suspended. We look forward to providing employers with the most up-to-date information in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Finally, Advent Investigations offers an in-depth background investigation for the employer of executive level personnel. Resume information will be verified and interviews of former employers and character references will be performed. This will ensure that you, as the employer, are provided with the most complete information possible of a prospective member of your team.

Accident Investigation and Reconstruction

Due Diligence

Knowledge is power. In order to fully protect your interests when transacting business you should be made aware of all pertinent information to make informed decisions. Do not underestimate the importance of looking beyond what has been represented to you by the other party. Working with your accountant Advent Investigations will help to ensure you make a truly informed decision.

Surveillance and Undercover Operations

At times it becomes necessary to conduct surveillance on individuals making assertions that are difficult to believe or outright fabrications. Utilizing former state and federal law enforcement agents Advent can diligently locate and maintain visual contact of targeted properties and individuals. Surveillance is often key in obtaining evidence during that momentary window of opportunity. Evidence in the form of still photographs, video and/or written reports can make the difference in saving thousands of dollars on disputed claims.

In addition, the use of undercover operatives to penetrate individuals or groups that would do you harm is at times necessary to obtain the evidence needed to fight back and protect your interests. This is an area where experience and training are crucial. Allow Advent’s team of experienced former law enforcement professionals to get the job done.

Corporate Investigations and Security Assessments

By utilizing Advent’s investigators your firm can effectively reduce fraud, theft and shrinkage in the workplace. Advent professionally and discreetly conducts internal investigations to protect your interests. Various methods are employed to match your budget, including identifying and interviewing suspect employees, conducting polygraph examinations and installing electronic security devices.

Advent employs technical experts to evaluate the security of your home and business. Recommendations to improve security as well as the installation of equipment designed to provide greater security for you, your family and employees are provided.

Insurance Fraud Investigations

Be it workman’s compensation, personal injury, auto accident injury or medical malpractice claims, Advent Investigations will investigate the claim to verify it or discredit. When your firm knows whether or not a claim is legitimate, an effective strategy can be developed by your legal counsel. The result is often enormous savings in legal fees or reduced judgments.
