You\u2019ve gone through the process of interviewing candidates and have selected a finalist. You\u2019ve even extended a conditional offer of employment. Now, the only thing left is to vet your new hire by conducting a background check. There\u2019s only one problem: it\u2019s a Friday evening or Saturday morning. Can your business run a weekend background check, or will you have to wait until Monday to move forward?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Weekend background checks are not unheard of or impossible. Many background checks are database searches, which means you can search them from your computer and get instant results. Several of our products at Blinkx fall into this category, including our\u00a0US OneSEARCH database check.<\/p>\n<p>Other background checks will require live record searches or a mix between database checks and live record checks. For instance, if you include\u00a0a county criminal history search\u00a0in your background check process, someone from your background check company may need to go to the courthouse to perform a live records search.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will this type of search have a turnaround of several days, but it also can\u2019t be a weekend background check: courts are not open on Saturdays, Sundays, or on government holidays. Even if you initiate a county criminal history search on a Saturday, your background check company likely won\u2019t be able to do anything until the court opens again on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>County criminal history searches aren\u2019t the only background checks that typically can\u2019t happen over weekends. Expect a similar scenario for\u00a0state\u00a0or\u00a0federal criminal searches, for\u00a0civil court background checks, for national wants and warrants searches, and\u00a0for\u00a0bankruptcy record searches.\u00a0Driving history searches\u00a0can be weekend background checks in some states when access to these records can be granted in instant database form.<\/p>\n<p>Expect standard business hours to apply when you need to run any background check involving public record information. Most government offices are not open on the weekends, which means your background checks will need to happen during the week.<\/p>\n<p>The same restrictions typically apply for resume verification checks. If you are trying to do an\u00a0employment history verification, you are at the mercy of a company\u2019s business hours. Since many businesses are closed on the weekend, don\u2019t expect to verify employment history details with a weekend background check. Colleges, universities, and higher education institutions are also closed on Saturday and Sunday, so\u00a0education verification checks\u00a0must often wait until Monday.<\/p>\n<p>At Blinkx,\u00a0we include timeline estimates\u00a0for each background check we offer. If you are trying to conduct weekend background checks, the services marked as \u201cInstant\u201d are your best bet. You may see a time estimate for other checks, such as 1-3 days or 2-5 days. If you are ordering a background check on a Friday or Saturday, expect your check to skew toward the longer side of the time estimate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s say your business is scrambling to fill a job quickly.
