Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Background Check?

A background check is an investigative process used by individuals, organizations, or authorities to verify an individual's personal, professional, and sometimes criminal history. It involves examining various aspects of a person's background, such as criminal records, employment history, education, credit history, and references. A background check aims to assess the individual's suitability for specific roles or responsibilities, such as employment, housing, volunteer work, licensing, or security clearance. The scope and depth of the check can vary depending on the requirements and legal regulations.

How long does a Background Check take?

The time it takes to complete a background check can vary depending on several factors, including the scope, the information sources available, the level of detail required, and the efficiency of the background check provider or agency. Generally, the process can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.

What does a Background Check show?

An employment background check usually includes identity verification, employment history, credit records, driving records, criminal background, educational verification, and additional relevant details.

How far back does a Background Check go?

The depth and extent of how far back a background check goes can vary depending on several factors, including the type of background check being conducted and local regulations. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as different types of background checks may have different timeframes for retrieving information. It's important to note that certain industries, government positions, or security-sensitive roles may have more stringent requirements and may conduct more extensive background checks that look further back into an individual's history. Additionally, some countries or regions may have specific laws that govern how far back certain types of information can be considered for background checks. Overall, the specific timeframe for a background check will depend on the purpose of the check and the guidelines set by the requesting organization or entity.

Does a Background Check show Employment History?

Yes, a background check can show an individual's employment history. Employment history verification is a common component of many background checks, especially those conducted for employment purposes. Employers often want to verify the accuracy of the information provided by job applicants on their resumes or applications. During an employment history check, the background check provider or employer may contact previous employers or companies where the individual claimed to have worked. They may inquire about the job titles, dates of employment, job responsibilities, and sometimes the reason for leaving the position. The goal is to confirm that the information matches what the applicant provided and to identify any discrepancies or misrepresentations. Employment history checks are essential for employers to make informed hiring decisions and ensure that candidates have the required experience and qualifications for the position. It helps employers avoid hiring individuals who may falsify their work experience or credentials.

What do Employers look for in a Background Check?

Employers conduct background checks to gather information about job applicants or current employees to make informed and responsible hiring or retention decisions. The specific elements they look for in a background check can vary based on the nature of the job, industry, and company policies. Including but not limited to criminal history, employment history, education and credential verification, reference checks, credit history (if relevant), drug testing (if applicable), social media screening, identity verification, driving record (if relevant), professional licenses and certifications.
