What Should An Applicant Do If An Error Is Found In A Background Check?

If an error is found in a background check report, the applicant should promptly inform the employer.
The Applicant needs to explain the error to the employer and provide the employer any documentation or information which may shed light on the issue.
The employer should re-investigate the error and report the results of the re-investigation to the applicant.
If the error is in the information at the source (school, prior-employer, courthouse, etc.) the applicant should promptly contact the information source directly and have the error corrected. After the information has been corrected at the source, the applicant should inform the employer and request a re-investigation of the information and a report of the results.
If the report was prepared by a third-party agency, the agency should have been contacted by the employer to conduct the re-investigation. The applicant may also contact the third-party agency directly to dispute an error.

What Should An Employer Do If An Applicant Reports An Error In A Background Check?

If an applicant reports an error in a background check report, the employer should:
Obtain details from the applicant about the information in dispute (including any relevant documentation).
Re-investigate the disputed item.
If the re-investigation confirms the original report, the error may be at the record source (school, prior-employer, courthouse, etc.). Have the applicant contact the record source and request that the records be corrected. After the records have been corrected, the employer should again re-investigate the disputed information.
Keep the applicant informed and provide the results of the re-investigation to the applicant
Note: Many background check errors reported by applicants are in reality errors or fraud on the part of the applicant. Always verify applicant claims by re-investigating the disputed information with the original record source.

How long does a background check take to complete?

Results are gathered from multiple sources and completed in one to three business days. The process may take longer because a few courts, employers, and schools are hard to contact or slow to respond. Results from these sources are usually back within a week or 2 week.

What do employers look for in a background check?

Most prospective employers are concerned about discrepancies between what the applicant claimed and what is reported by schools, prior employers, etc. Most also watch for negative reports such as criminal history. It is wise for employers to attempt to verify anything that is important to job performance, would impact the applicant’s job qualifications, or could impact the safety of the public, fellow employees, and customers.
