Barada Associates

PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT SCREENING

Barada Associates provides reference reports, employment verifications, and background checks to employers nationwide. Our professional reports and thorough research give our clients a clear hiring advantage. We are committed to offering the highest level of customer service, legal compliance, and ease of process.

Barada Associates was founded by Paul W. Barada in 1979, as one of the first employment screening businesses. The company developed a reputation over the years as the premier provider of reference reports.

Today, Barada Associates embraces a high tech, high touch approach to delivery of services that is exemplified by every one of our employees.

Increasingly, technology-enabled service providers are becoming difficult to reach – via phone, fax, and even online – as they hide behind their so-called user-friendly self-service technology.

At Barada Associates, we believe that on-line technology should be a tool that allows your service provider to improve the quality of their customer service, not reduce the time they make available for you to talk to them.

We know that oftentimes questionable results on a background check can delay the hire/no-hire decision- making process, costing you precious time when recruiting key and in-demand personnel. Being able to reach a credentialed person in a timely manner can make the difference between getting your first choice candidate and having to settle for second best.

When you call our office with a question about your background or reference check, you get a live answer from a professional customer service person ready to assist you. Our highly trained customer service professionals are always easily accessible via whatever method you prefer: phone, fax, email, or perhaps even carrier pigeon if that suits you.

With technology and experience we’ve come a long way from the organization that Paul Barada founded some 30 years ago but haven’t moved that far from our roots.

Paul is still considered an expert in the field and has authored many articles on reference checking and employment screening topics. His book, Reference Checking for Everyone, was published in 2004.

Barada Associates remains headquartered in our original building in Rushville, Indiana. For more information, visit www.baradainc.com.
