Workdone takes safety seriously and offers background checks as an additional security measure. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to verify if a Pro has completed a background check and understand its implications:
- Look for a 'Background Check' or 'Verified' badge on the Pro's profile - this is the quickest way to confirm
- Check the 'About' or 'Certifications' section of their profile for detailed information about their background check status
- If you can't find this information, use the Workdone messaging system to inquire directly with the Pro about their background check status
- Remember that background checks are voluntary but strongly encouraged by Workdone
- Note that a completed background check doesn't guarantee future behavior, but it does provide an additional layer of verification
- Understand that background checks typically cover criminal records, identity verification, and sometimes professional license verification
- Be aware that background checks are usually conducted at a specific point in time and may not reflect recent changes
- Consider the date of the background check if it's provided - more recent checks are generally more reliable
While background checks add an extra layer of security, it's important to use them as part of a comprehensive approach to safety:
- Always read reviews and ratings from other clients
- Pay attention to the Pro's communication style and professionalism
- Trust your instincts - if something feels off, it's okay to choose a different Pro
- Use Workdone's built-in messaging and payment systems for added protection
- Follow Workdone's safety guidelines and best practices for hiring and working with Pros
