Our Story
In 1993, an idea became reality when a small business owner of a healthcare staffing agency began conducting background checks on individuals who were being placed for jobs at different employers in the Washington Metropolitan Area. The business owner partnered with a local retired police officer and a seasoned private investigator and together established Global Investigative Services, Inc (Global), a licensed private investigation company.
At the time, the absence of the internet and databases made it challenging to obtain information on an individual. Fax machines were used to request checks by the employer and communicate with a court researcher. The court researcher, still being used today, would travel to a courthouse to research information and fax back the results. Phone calls were also made to courts, police stations and jails to locate potential information. A report was typed up on a typewriter or a computer and then faxed or mailed to the client.
Between 1996 and 1998, Linda Mack (CEO) and Marc Linchuck (COO) acquired the company and took Global into the new era. They designed and developed a new technology, creating a platform where clients could submit background check requests securely over the internet. They introduced new services, products, and special programs. Next they expanded their capabilities nationwide and eventually internationally. Over the next several years as the demand for background checks grew, so did Global. They were no longer focused on small to mid-sized companies, but any size and any place in the world that needed background checks conducted.
In 2017, Global successfully completed the Background Screening Agency Accreditation Program and is recognized by the Professional Background Screening Association as an Accredited Background Screening Company.
On July 23, 2021, Marc Linchuck acquired 100% of Global and is the current CEO.
Global is also a member of Concerned CRA’s and we have certified we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles as well as the EU’s GDPR.
“Achieving accreditation is an important step for our company, our staff, and our clients. We are excited to be recognized as one of the few organizations in the background screening industry that has demonstrated our procedures are compliant with industry best practices, and that affirms our industry knowledge and expertise.”
