My Background Check – What You’ll Find Out With a Background Check

January 4, 2019 by Lauren Palmer

When reediting people for your business one of the most important aspects is to carry out a background check on the successful candidate. Unfortunately this is something which many businesses ignore and the consequences of not performing background checks can be very bad. This is something which can easily be carried out and there are even some reasonably priced services from companies like My Background Check which will perform this task for you. When you have a background check done on a potential candidate for your job, here are the results which it will give you.

Criminal History

The background check will feature a criminal history check which will review any county, state or federal crimes which the applicant may have been involved in. The decision as to whether you hire someone with a criminal history is completely yours but at the very least you should know what you are walking into.

Driving History

The information which the background check provides you with will also feature the driving history of the applicant, particularly necessary if the job will involve driving a company vehicle. This check will include any driving violations, crashes and insurance claims which the person has made. It is of course important that any applicant has a clean driving license and a background check will give you the information that supports their application.

Credit History

A person’s credit history may not seem very helpful to you but if this person is applying for a job which involves them handling money or accounts, it can give you a strong indication as to how well they may do. If someone has a mounting and unmanaged debts and a poor credit score then they may not be the best person to trust with the responsibility of handling money within the business.

Education

It is quite common for people to lie on their resume when it comes to their education so checking to validate it becomes very important for you. The reason why this mustn’t be overlooked is because you need to know that the person who you are hiring really is qualified to do the job that they have applied for, especially in the case of specialist positions. Failing to find out that someone has embellished their application form could cause you a great deal fo difficulty in training that person and could see you waste your time on the entire recruitment process.

Work History

Much like checking on someone’s education you should also ensure that their work history checks out. This check is not only performed to find out if the person has actually worked at the places which they say that they have, it will also give you information on why they left their previous post, vital information for you to know.

Background checks are quick and simple to do and they could save you a lot of headaches going forward so make sure that you check everyone who is coming to work for you.
