What exactly is background screening?
Background screening, also known as the process of conducting a background check, involves the comprehensive research and compilation of various records related to an individual or organization. These records encompass employment history, educational background, criminal history, financial records, and other relevant information. The primary objective is to assess individuals for employment suitability.
What details are required for conducting a pre-employment background check?
In preparation for a pre-employment background check, along with securing written consent, you'll need to gather the applicant's first, middle, and last name, as well as their accurate date of birth (DOB), government-issued identification or social security number, and residential addresses spanning the past 7 years.
When assessing applicants, it's essential to have a clear understanding of their skills and qualifications, and verifying this information is equally crucial. Employment background checks eliminate uncertainty from the equation.
Our pre-employment background check services provide definitive confirmation of essential professional qualifications. We directly communicate with the relevant state government, granting source, or issuing agency to verify the status, sanctions, restrictions, and expiration date of any license or credential listed by the applicant.
