Groves Associates Inc Information

Groves Associates is a leader in the field of pre-employment background screening investigations and we specialize in only FCRA compliant background reporting. By knowing who your applicants truly are, your chances of infesting your ranks with the wrong people are greatly reduced. Our service more than pays for itself in terms of "money saved" by not hiring and subsequently training those individuals deemed unfit or simply unqualified for employment. Add this to the potentially millions of dollars you will save in unnecessary litigation and out-of-court settlements to individuals who feel they were wronged by your hiring practices, and you will find that the "bottom line" value of our service is virtually incalculable. How will your service add speed, accuracy and/or quality to my company's Operations? Groves Associates has a basic 3 to 5 day turn around time on investigations. This will enable you to make educated hiring decisions quickly and more efficiently. Where is the growth in your service going to come from in the future? Many Years ago, when Groves Associates first introduced pre employment screening investigations to its list of services, there was really no "perceived need" by most employers to add this to their regular cost of doing business. As a result, Sales of this particular service was an extremely painstaking process. Today however, it is an entirely different story. Businesses around the globe are discovering their need to protect themselves from the potential dangers of hiring, and in a lot of cases, retaining the wrong people. As this need becomes more widely accepted, smart businesses are learning that the only true way to be fully protected is by utilizing the services of a professional, licensed Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA). Accurate projections for growth are tied directly to this need, and as the many companies who are in competition for this business (mostly unlicensed internet research firms) are weeded out, we firmly believe we have the ability to gain market share and dominate the industry. Who is your direct competition in this market? Every firm, "licensed and legal" to "unlicensed and unscrupulous" who offer pre-employment screening investigations. Groves Associates is a fully licensed investigative firm specializing in employment related investigations. We don't merely offer this as a side-line business because it is the current "flavor of the week" like many of our competitors. We have actually taken the time to research the needs of employers and to design a product that is not only cost effective and convenient, but completely FCRA compliant. In all 50 States. Definitely a claim that not many firms can honestly boast unfortunately. Who is your indirect competition in this market? Employers who foolishly choose to perform their own pre-hire investigations, relying on information from references listed on an applicant's resume' or application, or worse, from internet search firms which are in the practice of spitting out unverified information which can lead to some rather disastrous liability issues. What are the advantages and benefits to my company in using your service over a competitor's similar service? While there are many benefits to using the services of Groves Associates over those of our competitors, the single most compelling reason must be that Groves Associates adheres only to ethical business practices designed specifically to keep you out of court. Pre-Employment Screening is a sensitive area of law, and is structured to be a meticulous process under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Groves Associates is unique in that we maintain an on-going, internal education program where we work closely with both, Littler Mendelson, the nations largest employment law firm, as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in an effort to always stay abreast of not only the many changes and amendments to the FCRA, but the different interpretations unique to various regions of the United States. By choosing Groves Associates as your Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA), you are guaranteed peace of mind, which comes from the knowledge that your hiring process is operating to the absolute letter of the law.
