As Guardian was flying home on a cold winter night, they overheard two people talking in an office down below.

All Guardian needed to hear was, “We should just check their Facebook quickly to make sure they are a good fit for our company!”

Guardian decided it was time to drop in to see what the commotion was all about.

The votes are in and we have a winner!

Commercial Investigations LLC (CI), a leading provider of investigative services, proudly announces its second consecutive win of the prestigious Platinum (#1) Award for the Best Private Investigator in the CommunityVotes - Albany competition.

On a clear and sunny morning, Guardian was soaring above the bustling city when a sense of purpose crossed their avian features. Down below, near a glass-walled office building, Guardian spotted a Human Resources professional named Grace. She was deeply engrossed in her work, but her face revealed her concern.

For this holiday season, our team at CI participated in Adopt-A-Family for the Holidays and adopted a family living in Albany and Rensselaer Counties.

In the cozy office of the Fancy Valley and Four Seasons, the team made significant progress in their quest to find the perfect financial professional to join their ranks.

Sue cleared her throat and straightened the stack of resumes, her eyes twinkling with anticipation. “Alright team, we’ve narrowed our search to three applicants for the final round of interviews.”

Adverse action, a critical component of the hiring process, is facing a significant transformation in California and New York City, with New York State expected to follow suit. These changes are being driven by a blend of regulatory adjustments and societal dynamics. This will carry substantial implications for businesses.

“Exactly, some providers might lump various fees together under vague headings, leaving you in the dark about the specifics. This lack of clarity can lead to misunderstandings and unexpected costs.”

Emily sighed in relief. “That makes so much sense, Guardian. I’ve been struggling to make sense of these charges for a while now.”

As a way to give back to our community, Commercial Investigations set a goal in celebration of our 20th anniversary to contribute or donate to 20 different charities and organizations in our local community.

As the team discussed the various aspects, Duey shifted uneasily in his chair. “We need to be mindful of our budget. We can’t spend more than we can afford.”

Prue agreed. “You’re right, our financial health is just as important as our business operations. We can’t dive into this blindly.”

Sue leaned forward, “I completely understand your worries, but Commercial Investigations is committed to transparency. They provide clear information about our fees and ensure that we won’t be surprised with unexpected costs.”

Background investigations play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and integrity of an organization. However, the pricing structure of these investigations can sometimes be misleading, with some screening providers quoting low contract package prices while purposefully omitting third-party fees.

On a lazy Saturday morning, Guardian spotted an untouched newspaper still laying in a neighbor’s driveway. Realizing they didn’t get this edition, and being the curious bird Guardian is, they decided to swoop over and take a peek before anyone was the wiser.

What are Rocks? The CI staff learned about Rocks after reading Gino Wickman and Tom Bouwer’s book What the Heck is EOS? in our book club.

As Wickman and Bouwer say, Rocks, first popularized by Dr. Stephen R. Covey in his book First Things First, has helped a number of companies manage their workflow.
