CARCO's Reality TV Contestant Vetting

Secure Your Screening Process with CARCO's Technology Driven Solution

 

Taking the Necessary Measures to Protect Your Reputation

Take the necessary steps to investigate every Reality TV contestant as an extra precaution to protect your reputation. Professional reputations are at risk with every contestant showcased in the intense glare of publicity encompassing network television. The wrong choice, after being presented to potentially millions of enthusiastic fans, may result in a public-relations nightmare if a dark secret is publicly revealed.

The needs of the Reality TV industry require deeper investigations of contestants to answer questions like, “Who are these people who want to be on television?” and “What are their motives, desires and expectations?” More importantly, “Are they who they claim to be?” CARCO's Reality TV contestant investigations go beyond the usual criminal and civil checks. CARCO is the leader in investigative screening to the Reality TV industry, with a proven record and a portfolio of hundreds of top-notch Reality TV programs.

CARCO is perfectly positioned to assist you in your contestant vetting investigations, which may include one or more of the following services:

  • Standard Background Search - This could consist of criminal and civil history checks at the local, state and federal levels, driving history, media review, property review, employment verification, education verification, sex offender registry search and statewide public records search. Other searches are available and will be conducted depending on the client's customized requirements.
  • Telephonic Interview - These interviews are with family members, friends, and co-workers and are intended to develop an in-depth portrait of a prospective contestant.
  • Internet Search - What will be found on the Internet? Possibly an innocent tax-related document that suggests a past criminal act, an E-mail address that links a contestant to a porn site, or maybe it will be a “MySpace” page that will suggest a darker and more sinister side to a contestant's personality. Without performing an Internet search, you may never know the person.
  • Link Analysis/Graphical Analysis - How is CARCO's developed information best presented? Sometimes a narrative format tells the whole story. Other times it is presented in tabular format so the client can focus on the data commonalities. When the data is so convoluted that putting it into words does the information a disservice, CARCO can generate a link analysis or graphical analysis to effectively present the data in the most coherent way.
  • Financial & Document Review - This consists of client-requested documents such as contestant's history/story, financial paperwork and other information specific to the program. It is a variation of a time-honored forensic technique that asks the same question multiple times, but in different ways, and then analyzes the answers given. Often, identified differences suggest little more than a minor and honest variation in the truth, but they can also be warning signs that the truth is being withheld!
