MyBackgroundCheck.com Launches New Re-Designed Website Offering Personal Background Checks

Website for Leading Personal Background Check Provider Offers Exciting New Features, Resources, and Interactivity to Help Members Control Information, Find Work, and Guard Against Identity Theft.

Anderson, CA, July 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- MyBackgroundCheck.com – a leading provider of consumer requested background checks – recently announced the launching of a more user-friendly and interactive website with new features that give members the ability to view, manage, share, and protect their own "personal background check" information while also helping jobseekers find work and consumers guard against identity theft. Video tutorials, FAQs, and other resources detailing these improvements are available at http://www.mybackgroundcheck.com/order/NewFeatures.aspx.

MyBackgroundCheck.com helps individuals perform personal background checks on themselves to use as jobseekers, students, tenants, volunteers, parents, friends, and consumers. Since jobseekers can benefit by requesting their own pre-employment background checks for potential employers, the company is in a position to help the more than 14 million unemployed workers in the U.S. in their efforts to find a job. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) recently reported that over 80 percent of large companies and a rapidly growing number of smaller employers currently perform background checks.

“Job applicants in nearly all fields should expect to undergo a background check, and they should be proactive in knowing exactly what a pre-employment screening will show,” says company Founder and CEO Robert Mather. “MyBackgroundCheck.com allows individuals to run a search on themselves to make sure the information is accurate. The results are posted on a secure website that can only be accessed through a code that can then be released to an unlimited number of potential employers. Not only does this ensure security and privacy,” Mather adds, “but it makes employers sit up and take notice that you are thinking a step ahead of the rest of the field.”

MyBackgroundCheck.com also provides protection against the rising threat of identity theft – which according to Javelin Research affected nearly 10 million Americans in 2008 – by allowing individuals to view their criminal records and credit scores in their background checks. With a MyBackgroundCheck.com account, members can ensure that their Personally Identifying Information (PII) is current, secure, and accurate by using new features, resources, and interactivity:

* Invite other users to view and share background check reports.
* Access common features and recent activities quickly and easily.
* View and share public profiles, send messages, and search for users.
* Find answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) on background checks.
* Receive background check news and special offers for products and services.
* View video tutorials about how to use their MyBackgroundCheck.com account.
* Provide feedback, share ideas, and make suggestions for improving the website.
