What Does a Typical
Employment Background Check
Consist of?


Our Customers' Typical Employment Background Check Consists of:

  • Social Security Number Scan
  • County Criminal Record Check (counties of residence, work, and school for 7 years)
  • Employment Verification (last 7 years)
  • Education Verification (post-high school education, especially for professional and management positions)
  • Other searches (such as a Motor Vehicle Report) that apply specifically to the position being sought. For suggestions regarding additional searches that should be added, see Comprehensive Background Check: The Best Background Check

We have noticed a growing trend toward more thorough employment background checks in better managed companies. See Growing Trend to Thorough Background Checks.
