Background check investigations are growing in demand for both individuals and organizations who deal with Russian citizens and companies. The internet is connecting businesses and individuals all over the world and Russia is no exception.

International hiring is every day more common. Companies now look in Russia if there are no qualified candidates in their home country, and Russian job seekers are looking for better opportunities outside their frontiers. Social networking sites such as VK, Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin, and online dating sites like Match.com and eHarmony are bringing people together also. Investors are looking at the Russian market, and putting their money to work where profits seem possible. All of these new relationships are complicated already within national borders. Can you imagine how complicated they can get when adding long distance, language and cultural barriers?

Russia PI has been helping people and organizations find evidence that can help their own decision making. With the support of the lead international private investigation firm Wymoo International,  we have been able to lower the risk for our clients. It’s prudent verification.

When do you need a background check investigation in Russia?

There are a number of reasons and situations that make a background check investigation worth the expense. The most popular in the Russia are related to romance scam cases. Russian romance scammers are always finding new ways to trick people into sending money over by deceiving them with false relationships. They invest a huge amount of time and effort knowing that the reward will be good.  So while decent people are just having fun and trying to meet their life partner, the reality is that many thousands are being scammed. A dating background check investigation in Russia is the most effective method to avoid falling in love with someone who does not exist, and to avoid losing money to an online criminal.

Professional background check investigations also help companies and individual investors around the globe who do not even suspect they could be dealing with a Russian fake company, a money launderer or a mafia organization. More and more people in the U.K., U.S., Canada and Australia rely on Russia private investigations to verify potential business partners and employment candidates, and therefore lower their risk of being scammed.  Background checks are the first step to identify if the person you are dealing with is real, reputable and free of a criminal past.

What to expect from a Russian background check?

“A comprehensive background check should include birth records, criminal, marriage and court records, and employment and education verification, address and passport records, verification of any ID or passport sample, and much more” says Peter Kossakovsky, Director of Background Checks at Russia PI.  A thorough background check investigation can also include other information that the client might need to verify, such as professional licenses, travel history, and so on.  Depending on the type of relationship (whether personal or business), the investigator can focus on different verifications and deepen the investigation according to the client’s needs, which is why finding a reputable firm that can do the legwork locally is so important.

Background check investigations are a growing trend in Moscow and St. Petersburg due to the high risk in the country.  Contact us today if you need evidence to stay safe!
