Suspicious about an applicant's veracity, but can't quite figure out why?
Trying to decide whether to assign a case to a private investigator?
Questioning whether your hunch can justify the costs of hiring your favorite gumshoe?
Consider saving lots of money by performing your own 15-minute background check...for free! Internet searches are quickly becoming an easy, effective, and inexpensive (not to mention…FUN!) way of researching an applicant's background and verifying their credibility.
She's Doing What?
The wealth of information readily available on the internet first became clear to me last year while defending the orthopedic/psych case of "Jill,"1 Jill had happily collected TD for over a year and seemed likely to continue on this course for a long while. Jill had provided a local cell phone number in her contact information, but almost immediately retracted the number—stating it was a "mistake"—and replaced it with what she described as her "real" number.
Huh? "Real" phone number? As opposed to what...a "fake" one? This seemed suspect, but what did it mean?
