Ask A Question

What information is typically included in a background check?

Most background checks include criminal record searches, but they may also examine employment history, educational background, professional licenses, and driving records depending on the position and industry requirements

Do I need to give permission for a background check?

Yes, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers must obtain your written consent before conducting a background check. You’ll need to sign a disclosure form stating the background check will be used for employment purposes.

How long does a background check take?

Most background checks are completed within 2-5 days, though various factors can cause delays. The timeframe may vary based on the scope of the check and the position requirements.

Who can run a background check on me?

Only organizations that have disclosed their intention to conduct a background check and obtained your authorization can run a check. They must also have a “permissible purpose,” such as considering you for employment.

How far back do background checks go?

The lookback period varies based on where you live and work, as well as the type of position you’re applying for. Federal, state, and local laws determine how far back employers can search for information.
