I’ve heard they can access more than just what a simple Google search can give about a future/current employee, but I’ve never know how they do it.

I guess it depends on what specifically you’re talking about?
But in general, there are services you can subscribe to that collect a lot of data about people. If you’ve ever tried to google someone and hit a page that asked you to pay some money in order to access the complete details, then you’ve brushed up against that system.
They offer a deeper dive than a traditional search, like the complete history of every phone number a person has ever had, and every address they’ve ever lived at (I’ve done that on myself and seen first hand that they had every single address/number I’ve ever had even though I’ve lived in five states across as many decades.)
I’ve never run a large corporation, but I assume that sort of thing scales up and there are companies who specialize in offering large corporations access to databases of information about people, where they can enter an employees name and get ALL the available data at once.
If something like that doesn’t exist, A) I’ll be shocked, and B) that’s a huge market opportunity that someone should jump on.
