New RealityTrack Background Screening Service Casts a Private Eye on Reality TV

NEW YORK, May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RealityTrack has announced the launch of a background screening service designed specifically for the reality television market. 

Building on the extensive research expertise of its parent company, BackTrack Reports, an almost 20-year veteran of the world of financial due diligence, RealityTrack has developed a uniquely rigorous background screening service adapted to the particular needs of the reality television casting industry.

The RealityTrack model was generated in the wake of several high-profile incidents when adverse information in the backgrounds of reality television cast members became public after their shows had already aired.  "The audience wants to be surprised by what happens on screen," said Andrew Roth, a vice president of RealityTrack.  "The producers don't want to be surprised by something in their cast members' lives from years before.  At RealityTrack, our goal is to ensure that the only drama happening is in front of the cameras."  

RealityTrack has tailored its background screening service with extensive input from individuals currently working on the production side of the reality television industry.  RealityTrack offers a streamlined process including news searches, employment verifications, credit checks, asset confirmation, and the most comprehensive and accurate court searches available.  All data is analyzed and delivered to clients in an easy-to-read format with complete discretion and sensitivity to production cycles and casting timetables.

"At RealityTrack our primary focus of the vetting process is to help our clients weed out people whose backgrounds are unsuitable or present an unacceptable level of risk," said Roth.  "For example, our clients want to know when potential cast members have broken the law, or when their backgrounds suggest personality issues."
