PINNACLE DOES NOT RE-SELL YOUR APPLICANT’S
INFORMATION FOR MARKETING PURPOSES LIKE MANY OTHER FIRMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
HAVE DONE. WE HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER PARTICIPATE IN THIS RISKY INDUSTRY TREND.

The Pinnacle Background Check System
To provide a comprehensive picture of your applicant’s criminal history Pinnacle
researches the applicant’s identity, all aliases, and determines the locations in
which the applicant has lived. This provides names & locations to be searched for
criminal and civil records (this is why a legally compliant criminal check MUST
include a SSN Trace). Our comprehensive investigation starts with associating the
provided social security number (SSN Trace) to the actual applicant. Rather than
relying solely on the applicant to “tell the truth” and provide their aliases and
addresses, our experienced investigators research various databases to independently
develop names, aliases and address history and then thoroughly research criminal
records for every name and location. Pinnacle researches current criminal records
at the local, county and state-wide level, along with Federal Court checks for a
flat fee. Many companies charge a fee for each name and location searched. Pinnacle
searches ALL names and ALL locations for one flat fee. This becomes important because
the average applicant has lived in 3 locations. In addition, aliases and altered
dates of birth are common methods utilized to avoid disclosure of a criminal past.
*Court fees and other associated fees are passed through to the client
