Most employers do not provide details about what their\u00a0employee background checks\u00a0entail. Trying to find this information on employer websites, job postings, or employment applications is often an exercise in futility. Rather than providing specifics, most employers will say, \u201cWe require every new hire to pass an extensive background check.\u201d This type of vague statement begs an important question: what constitutes an \u201cextensive background check\u201d?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What qualifies as \u201cextensive\u201d varies from one employer to the next. Perhaps the most extensive employee background checks in the United States\u00a0are those run by the federal government, and even those checks vary from job to job.<\/p>\n

Federal jobs often come with security clearances in different tiers. Someone applying for a job with the highest level of security clearance (\u201cTop Secret\u201d) will need to go through an extensive background check. These high-level federal checks incorporate criminal history, financial information, address history, and much more. They even involve interviews with the candidate\u2019s acquaintances, from co-workers to neighbors.<\/p>\n

No private employer goes to quite the same lengths with its employee background checks, which means that the phrase \u201cextensive background check\u201d typically has a different connotation. Usually, a private company interested in going in-depth with a candidate background check will run multiple screenings as part of that process. The foundation is likely a criminal history check, but other common pre-employment checks include verifications for\u00a0education,\u00a0employment history, and\u00a0professional licenses or certifications;\u00a0checks of aliases or past names;\u00a0driving record checks,\u00a0credit history checks, and\u00a0civil history checks.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the word \u201cextensive\u201d denotes a more robust criminal background check. Criminal records are spread across many different databases, from county courthouses to state repositories and beyond. An employer that only runs a county criminal history check in the area risks overlooking crimes that a candidate may have committed outside of the county or state.<\/p>\n

An \u201cextensive\u201d criminal background check may be one that incorporates multiple tiers of criminal history search (county,\u00a0metropolitan area,\u00a0state,\u00a0federal, and\u00a0multi-jurisdictional) or one that utilizes\u00a0address history\u00a0to pinpoint counties where a candidate has lived, and potentially committed crimes, in the past.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to know for sure what information an employer will be looking for when they claim to conduct \u201cextensive\u201d employee background checks. Even two multi-jurisdictional criminal history searches can turn up different results since all databases don\u2019t include identical information. Overall, candidates can expect \u201cextensive\u201d to mean thorough background checks. By utilizing more thorough checks, employers reduce their risk of overlooking a piece of information that may prove crucial to their hiring decision.<\/p>\n
