Also, here are some important things we looked at for our rankings.

Accuracy

Incorrect information is a no-no! Depending on what you do with this information, it can lead to serious legal problems. Companies we review should abide by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), which lays down the law on how background checks are done. Anybody can Google a name and get basic information, but is it accurate?

Comparakeet reviews companies that go the extra mile by researching court records, social media accounts, driving history, phone records, etc. to provide users with first-rate results.

Database Features

Besides the obvious typing in someone’s name, do you know you can do a background check using their phone number, social media accounts, physical address or email? Or get info on a current or past federal prison inmate?

A background check company worth its weight in gold should offer multiple channels to provide a complete and verifiable profile. Data mined through online sources should be supplemented with going directly to the source.

Background check companies claim to have databases of billions of public records. Very impressive. And our mission at Comparakeet is to provide you the tools to determine how they use it to your benefit.

Pricing

How much does a background report cost and what does it include? Is it instant or how long do I have to wait for it? Is there a discount for multiple reports? A monthly subscription rate for you active online daters? And does pricing include background check access on the mobile app for smartphones? Price conscious report seekers should be able to see this information on a website before they begin the search.

Customizing Your Search

The information needed to locate your high school friend from 30 years ago will be quite different from what’s needed to get the 411 on your creepy neighbor. You won’t need a criminal record history for your freshman chemistry lab partner but you will definitely need it for the weirdo down the street. A good background check company should give you options to narrow your search down and guide you through this process, all within the guidelines established with federal, state and local government jurisdictions.

User-friendliness

Good websites are easy to navigate, not cluttered with ads, simple to understand and laid out to optimize a user’s experience. These are important features which will influence someone to buy a report or go on to the next search engine result.

Customer Service

Got questions? The best background check websites should be able to address them in a quick and concise manner. Email, FAQ, glossary of terms, and even YouTube videos offer answers but sometimes talking to a real person cuts to the chase. Offering a toll-free phone number with clear hours of operation is just good business practice in this industry.
