What background checks may an employer request from new hires? Not all employers will do each of the type of check mentioned below, but good to know all of the main possibilities.
Formal checks an employer could ask you to authorize:
- Criminal background Check
- Enhance Police Information Check
- Criminal Records Check
- Credit Bureau Inquiry Check
- Employment Verification Check
- Education and Credential Check
- Identity Cross Check
- Reference Check
- Drivers Abstract
- Public Safety Verification
- Verifiable ID card check
- Contractor Credential Verification
- D. Verification Check
If you have nothing to worry about then please give a future employer or the recruiting firm permission to proceed with any back checks requested. Their job is to ensure that you are who you say you are and all of your credentials match the information you gave. Not every employer will do back checks, but If there is something in your past that may cause concern make the decision to be transparent. Tell HR or the employer offering you a position the issue. Nobody likes a bad surprise. Most people can deal with information relayed to them in advance. If there is a reason you will not clear the requested back check, it is your decision to advise or not to advise the hiring authorities.
