Many employers now run background checks on potential employees in order to verify their identities, credentials, past criminal records and other information. A personal background check can alert you to errors in your public records, and give you the chance to correct them before it affects your job search. Protect yourself with a personal background check.
A survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management found that close to 50 percent of companies screen job candidates with criminal, financial and personal background checks. Most of these checks are conducted after a job offer or interview. Background check results may have an impact on whether or not an employer will make a job offer. Having a criminal record can result in immediate disqualification. Industries and positions with financial responsibility and access to confidential information are sure to conduct a personal background check.
Because of this growing trend towards conducting employment background checks, job applicants should check their own personal information in order to verify the accuracy of their personal records. Mistakes happen and are quickly revealed with a personal background check.
Once you receive your personal background check, you can assess the accuracy of the information, and directly contact the agencies concerned to correct any errors. This gives you greater control over your personal public information, and ensures prospective employers will be able to confirm your honesty and integrity.
Another reason to conduct a self-background check is to determine if you have been the victim of identity theft. Your Social Security Number (SSN), for instance, is closely tied in with your public identity. If a criminal manages to get hold of your SSN and other personal data, they can easily apply for loans, credit cards, and other services under your name. In many cases, the results of these fraudulent activities can have far-ranging consequences, which can take years to resolve. Learn what information out there is attached to your personal name. Protect yourself and your identity with a personal background check.
