Background checks are commonplace before making a hire and can help reduce the mystery in the hiring process for employers, but it’s important to conduct it properly and use the correct services. A comprehensive background check will reveal any convicted felonies and misdemeanors, judgments, and records from the FBI, Homeland Security, Drug Enforcement Administration, and National Sex Offender Registry databases. They can also include education and employment verification, as well as reference checks and credit background.
