Hg’s Commitment & Approach

We believe successful partnerships are built on honesty. We craft our background investigations on the needs of our clients. Our open and transparent investigations enable you to make sound business decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of your subject’s credit history, reputation, financial stability, credentials, and compliance.

We bring peace of mind. Whether you’re identifying a silent partner or business ownership or question the credentials of a potential hire, there’s no better way to make a critical decision than knowing you’ve received a thorough and accurate background report from a trusted and proven investigation firm.

Our Phased Approach puts control in your hands. As a background investigative firm, we scrutinize and examine the history of individuals and organizations, with the aim of uncovering all the information you need most to make sound decisions.

In Phase One, our investigators work with you to understand your specific needs and then get to work researching and analyzing preliminary background data across a variety of platforms, including non-traditional Internet resources, social platforms, government databases, public records. We summarize our findings in a report, and, if the data is sufficient, our work is done.

If, however, our initial investigation reveals the need for a deeper dive, you have the option to move onto Phase Two. In our boots-on-the ground stage, our expert analysts will go onsite, conduct live interviews, contact references, and send court retrievers to compile data wherever the person lived or worked.

We deliver a background report to empower you to make sound decisions. At the conclusion of each project, we will deliver a report with Key Findings and Recommended Next Steps that summarize the vital issues pertaining to the subject of our investigation. The core material of the report will be the substantiating documentation discovered during the course of our research and analysis.
