A little bit about For the Record...

Hi there – my name is Donna Pate. I’m the founder and owner of For the Record, Inc (FTR). We’ve provided background check services to Raleigh and all 50 states since 1997.

Background checks should enhance your hiring process, not slow you down. My mission is to keep your workplace safe and productive for both you and your employees.

We form long-lasting relationships with our clients and many have been with us for over 10 years. One reason is that our level of personal service can’t be beat! When you call with a question or challenge, you will always speak with me—no more long waits or repeating yourself multiple times to different people.

See what clients say...

I have been working with Donna at For The Record, Inc., for at least the 10 past years, if not more. Donna has always been friendly, professional, knowledgeable and most efficient. I trust that Donna will provide the most up to date, accurate background information possible, all with a smile. I won’t go anywhere else! Thank you, Donna, for your dedication and an amazing job well done!

My company, East Carolina Home Care, has been with For the Record for 10 years. We run many background checks. In our business, often times we need background checks completed very quickly. Donna is astonishingly helpful in running background checks for us quickly. She is very "hands on" and "Johnny on the spot." I would recommend Donna Pate and For The Record.

Thank you so much for the services you give me personally. Donna, you keep this working for the good of Psalms Home Care. Very much glad to have FTR as my background supplier.

FTR has been a useful tool in our hiring process. The quick turnaround time and personal attention to us whenever we had questions concerning background checks has made everything we are required to do painless. Upgrades to software were made to make the process more efficient and being able to archive our inquiries online has kept us a long time satisfied customer.

I highly recommend Donna and FTR for all your background check needs. FTR provides professional, quick and reliable results to ensure you are hiring the best candidate.

It’s been a great pleasure working with FTR. Donna has been a tremendous help when it comes to answering any questions that we may have. She is quick to follow up and provide any explanation/assistance. Donna really gives you her personal attention.
