When most people think of a background check they believe it’s a simple criminal history check. But actually a background check is much more than that. It’s a process of finding the best candidate by looking at, his criminal records, but also education and employment history, references, civil records, etc. Each is a very important piece of the puzzle.
Are background Checks Necessary?
A number of industries,
especially those that require the handling of other people’s personal and
private information, require background screenings. These include the home
healthcare, financial, and insurance industries among others. But whether your business
operates in or provides services to these industries or not, there are still many
reasons to run them.
Do I need Permission for Background Checks?
Yes, it’s important to get permission. If you want to order
and review any kind of background check in order to determine somebody's
eligibility for employment, you need to ask their permission. There are two
forms that must be completed by the applicant, the authorization, and the
disclosure. The FCRA place restriction on what can be reported what can’t
be.
Information required
for Background Checks
The basics information you must
have before running background checks includes Candidate's full name (first,
middle and last name), full date of birth and Social Security Number. Social Security
Number can’t be helpful in looking for criminal records, but it may be used for
other parts of background check.
Limitations of Screening
The FRCA restrict you to search
for 10 years records of bankruptcies and 7 years of civil lawsuits,
judgments, tax liens, collection amounts and any other adverse information.
Criminal records can be checked further more.

might not have enough time to do it yourself. So, the best and easiest way is
