Everything you need to know about lifestyle assessments

by Josef Kafka

Although private detectives provide a range of services, many people only associate them with surveillance, lie detector tests, and tracking and tracing. This is mainly because most people's only knowledge and experience of private investigators comes from Hollywood movies, in which private detectives are usually tracing missing persons or conducting surveillance on a cheating spouse. So, to give you more of an idea of the range of services that private detectives offer, let's take a closer look at one of their lesser known but commonly performed services; lifestyle assessments.

What is a lifestyle assessment?

A lifestyle assessment is essentially an in depth look at the lifestyle of a particular person. It usually covers every aspect of that person's life, including their work and employment history, relationships, habits, hobbies, criminal record, and anything that may impact on their character or reputation. In order to complete the lifestyle assessment, private detectives will use a combination of different techniques, depending on the intensity of the assessment and needs of the client, including both physical and online surveillance, and legal, background, and employment checks. It may also include interviews with former acquaintances, and other methods that the private detective deems necessary in order to complete the assessment.

Lifestyle assessments are becoming increasingly popular, due to the rise of social media and its increasing importance in disseminating information. Now that content can go viral within just a few hours, businesses and corporations are taking more measures to protect themselves from scandal or bad press, and lifestyle assessments are just one of the ways that are doing this.

When might you need a lifestyle assessment to be carried out?

Lifestyle assessments are usually carried out in relation to employment, for example in situations where an individual is going to be representing you or your business in an important or sensitive situation, and you need to make sure that you can trust them to do so properly without endangering the interests and reputation of you or your company. They are also used in situations where you might want to vet a prospective employee, or verify that what they say about themselves is true.
