How Many Courts Has Your International Vendor Visited?
Steven Brownstein is probably the most traveled to courts and judiciaries in history.
If you're not using Straightline International you are taking a chance, with your customer's and your business.
It is a fact that most international criminal record retrievers have never been to a court clerk's office - whether overseas or even in the USA.
They have always used third party vendors - such as Straightline.
"So why not try a few phone calls?" they ask themselves.
And maybe they do.
But where are they calling? What are they doing. They don't know.
Maybe they read about it on the Internet. Certainly not in school or in a book.
One marketing trick that seems to work in this business of pre-employment screening is to cheapen pricing.
I do not mean good quality at low prices.
I mean junk. Like Japanese products after WWII. One week after you buy it - Kaboom! It's broken or worn out.
Steven Brownstein has made an effort to learn and then educate the pre-employment screening community in first, domestic searches, and the last several decades the international search.
He has seen a lot of opinion come and go but has never seen a concerted effort such as he's done to map the world and its judicial systems and availability.
The Background Investigator is now in its 13th year.
Before that it was the Pre-Employment Screener.
Over 200 photos have appeared, each a different court from a different part of the world.
He's been there. And more places. He has a larger catalgue of court photos just waiting to be published.
When the going gets rough, he'll take the time and effort to go to that country to get what's needed to solve the problem at whatever cost - and you never paid a cent more than the standard price.
He knows many instances when a USA vendor would not spend $5 to get more information from a domestic USA court without giving the customer a head ache or refusing to do it.
And he knows that when the international vendor gets in trouble somehow that search ends up on his desk, even from the vendor or another third party he sent it to complete.
In this litigious age how can you as a conscientious criminal records buyer even dream of buying a service that can't be backed up by action?
Buy Straightline.. or buy a lot of E&O insurance!
