Background Checks for Employers
While most employers are used to structuring their background check process around domestic candidate pools, an increasingly global talent pool means that international background checks will become more important in the future.
Verifications
An audit of the state licensing body in Massachusetts recently found that the office did not conduct criminal and sex offender background checks on all the professionals it licensed. The case is a reminder that professional license checks should always pair with criminal history screenings.
Misdemeanors
Good news: most speeding tickets aren't criminal in nature and won't appear on your background check. Still, it may appear on a motor vehicle record.
Employment History
If you are applying for a job, chances are that you will need to disclose at least some details about your employment history. Most employers have a “work history” section on their job applications where you’ll be asked to provide past companies, dates of employment, and job titles for the last several jobs that you’ve held. Most positions will also require you to submit a resume with an account of your professional history.
Compliance and Legislation
Banning the box legislation has been the top trend to watch in background checks and hiring for a decade and counting. Despite significant state and local progress, that trend still shows no signs of slowing.
Employment History
Past employers don’t appear on an employment background check. You’ll have to rely on your candidate to self-report prior employment to verify.
