Although most HR professionals and managers now realize the importance of conducting background checks on all potential hires, more Americans are considering conducting background checks for other purposes. Landlords interested in protecting their properties and reducing the risks of nonpayment of rent have turned to professional background screening agencies for help. Some companies are also utilizing background checks before engaging new subcontractors and even before accepting work from new clients they are not familiar with. On a personal level, more women are considering background checks before getting into a serious relationship. This is especially true with women who have children, have personal wealth or those who are using online dating services to meet people.
