🔹 PROBLEM SECTION
Why Most BGV Vendor Evaluations Fail
Most background verification vendor evaluations focus on:
- Cost per check
- Turnaround time
- Number of checks
What they often miss:
- How fake experience is detected
- Whether UAN and court risks are covered
- Whether reports stand up to audits
- What risks remain uncovered
This checklist helps you ask the right questions before it’s too late.
