California has the largest population of all of the 50 states in America. It is so large that it takes up half of the west coast all by itself. Much like Texas, it can often be a “safe harbor” for illegal immigrants. This can cost employers millions of dollars per year, and can also put a major strain on the state’s income and crime rate. With A.S.G. background checks, employers can determine the eligibility of their potential employees before they make a final hiring decision. In addition to the fact that California is such a popular place for immigrants to dwell, it also houses some of the countries’ major cities like Los Angeles. Los Angeles is often known for its high crime rate and for its notorious gang activity. The police force there can sometimes find it difficult to keep up with the number of criminals wandering the streets. As a responsible business owner, you want to keep your employees safe. This can be done easily and effectively by running a good, solid background check on everyone before you hire.
California is also a very valuable state to America. The state pulls in about 13% of our country's gross domestic product alone. That is quite an impressive figure. Agriculture and entertainment are California’s two biggest money makers. Both of these industries cater to many different businesses, making the job market in California very appealing to people from all over the world, and all over the country. With that in mind, new hires should be checked thoroughly to ensure they are not on a wanted list or are not known criminals. In addition, even those people who have served their time may not be good candidates depending on the crimes they committed in the past. That’s why A.S.G. is your best choice for comprehensive, custom tailored background checks.

We provide our CA background search clients with results derived from the same sources of information that we use in all of our investigations, including those for California attorneys, California corporations and government agencies.
We will not use short cuts or gimmicks when conducting your california background investigation. If you are in need of a California background check that is conducted correctly using verifiable sources, A.S.G. is the agency for you.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for the lowest priced California background check or for super instant on-line results, we are not the right firm for you. But you should keep in mind that you get what you pay for! Low price and instant usually mean valueless in this business. If you are not convinced, take a look at some of these websites and give them a call to ask about their services. The one problem you will have is, they do not offer you a number to call. What type of legitimate business does that? At A.S.G., we are more than happy to answer all of your questions. Feel free to give us a call at 888-677-9700.
We provide our California background checks for California employers, attorneys and private individuals alike. If you are a California employer or are reviewing a job candidate from California, please visit our employment page for a more detailed description of how we can assist you.
Something that is rearly shared by most California pre-employment screening and California background check firms:
THERE IS NO STATE WIDE OR NATIONAL CRIMINAL RECORD DATABASE available to anyone!
Each state, including California, has different rules governing how criminal activity and convictions are to be recorded and who can access same. Each city, like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Scaramento also have unique rules on what information they retain and when, where and how they will allow access to it. With so many procedures in so many places combined with the many types of data available in California, there is no single place to go to get this type of information.
If some other firm is offering you an instant California criminal history check, please understand that they have invented their own “State wide California” criminal history search. At the very best, this is unreliable, inaccurate and incomplete. In our opinion, the only thing that you are guaranteed to get out of this vendor is their laughter as they charge your credit card.
We have designed several different California background check packages for you to choose from depending on your required level of depth. Each is tailored to meet your specific needs and to save you money. If you find that any of these will not meet your needs or you would like additional information, do not hesitate to call one of our investigators today. We customize packages in California upon request.
Our Advanced California Background Check encompasses everything found in our Intermediate background check and much, much more. Please call and speak with one of our investigators about the details of the Advanced package. If you have a search requirment that we did not address in one of our packages, please contact our office to discuss those needs with a private investigator.
A background check can consist of many types of searches from a multitude of different sources. Because many people have little or no experience hiring a firm to conduct a California background investigation, they are not familiar with what a firm like ours can do.
Unfortunately, with many types of records available and a lack of understanding of our abilities, many websites have been established that sell background checks which are absolutely worthless for their clients. These companies are known as Data Brokers and they claim to be able to tell you about California criminal records and many other types of information, but in reality they sell more disclaimers about what they cannot do than actual information. These companies usually have a low price, offer instant answers and do not have a telephone number for you to call to speak with someone. They cannot and do not provide you with any actual human review of the information they are selling you. Further, many are not licensed and they are often not even private investigators.
Buyer Beware!
What we at A.S.G. consider to be a true California background investigation is far more detailed, more accurate and more informational than anything a data broker can provide. We do not rely on databases alone for the simple reason that, in a state like California, much of the real information you need comes from sources like people, not computers. Our investigators can hit the streets, talk to sources in California and elsewhere to get you the most reliable information available.
We have sucessfully investigated individuals with a history in places like: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Long Beach, Fresno, Sacramento, Santa Ana, Abaheim, Riverside and more.
