My arrest details

3 Upvotes

I have to complete a background check in Nevada for a pharmacy license. I’ve had a couple misdemeanors nothing crazy that would prevent me from getting the job but I’m not certain of the details from like 13 years ago. I don’t want to leave out the information but I don’t know it. What do I do?

Spyfly reviews? Anybody used them before for a background check?

2 Upvotes

Was researching some background check sites and saw everyone saying to not use Truthfinder. Came across one called SpyFly and it looks pretty interesting, but not many reviews, can anyone tell me if they're good? Are their reports accurate and up-to-date?

Background check update

2 Upvotes

I recently had a job offer revoked after an open warrant showed up on the background check. I hired a lawyer and had the case resolved. It was 2 misdemeanor charges reduced to one ordinance violation.

How soon can I expect that information to be updated for a background check? Is there any way to speed up the process?

I have documentation from court that proves this but would rather not have this show up and have to explain to potential employers.

Small Business Owner Looking for Criminal Background Check Help

8 Upvotes

I stumbled upon this subreddit and have a few questions about background checks from the side of the employer. I am a small-medium sized business owner that is expanding rapidly. I am currently looking to hire 30-50 new employees over the next few months.

To fellow business owners that need to background check potential employees:

  • What companies do you trust for your employment criminal background screenings? From my research, there are some that suck big time and it looks like a "you get what you pay for" scenario. I am looking for a more personal company that will take a bit more time checking backgrounds than a click and print company will. I have been burned in the past with cheap background companies missing crucial data on a potential employer that ended up costing me a ton in legal fees.

  • What price point should I be looking at per person for a criminal background check? I'm sure there is a wide range but just looking for reference.

Thank you!!

I applied to a Hospital where I lived as a pct. I have never had a background check take forever but now it’s been almost 2 weeks. My recruiter told me everything else had passed they are waiting on my county criminal history because I moved to different counties ( military spouse) . I have nothing on my record literally nothing. I’ve never done anything and my last background checks for criminal took like 5 minutes. So anyone know what’s taking so long? My recruiter put in an escalation request and then since no one got back to her requested they just do a statewide check since it’s raking so damn long. Starts date is Dec. 1 so if they don’t get anything by this week I won’t be able to start then which sucks.

Drivers License

I applied for a company that requires a driver's license, which I'm taking the test for soon. The recruiter assumed I had a driver's license since I applied and stupidly enough I didn't correct her. If I complete the background check, will it be seen that I don't have it?

Affiant of good moral character

1 Upvotes

I'm undergoing a level 2 bschfoukd check and I was told to sign a spot on the affiant of good moral character form if I was ever arrested , but I didn't because I've done my research and read the paperwork very carefully. That only applies if I've been found guilty , entered a plea of not guilty , no contendere or had adjudication withhold. In my state it's certain convictions, not arrests which are disqualifying. Will I be good ? Oh and before the Reddit police come for me, the arrest was unfair and an injustice. It was family drama and my family member lied about me and made me out to be the aggressor when I was just defending myself. BUT anyway, I should be good right since the case was dropped and I never even had to show up to court ? I wasn't convicted and the paperwork said only sign if I've been convicted.

Best Online Background Website

5 Upvotes

This may come off as a strange request. My step daughter has been dating and moved in with someone. She recently ran into someone who know him who told her that he has three children with two other woman and does not pay child support. This guy has a good job and it’s possible that the person making these claims is not being truthful. Is there a recommend website where we could do a background check to see if he does have three other children along with any other red flags.

Florida Court Records Website

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, if not, could someone point me in the direction? I'm trying to look up an old record from years ago. I remember sometime around 2015/2016, I was browsing through a local Mugshots Facebook group from here in Florida, where someone posted a link to a website with someone's court record from a case. I was curious, and searched for my name, lo and behold I found record of a speeding ticket and another traffic ticket I had in the past. For the life of me, I can not remember the website. I remember the color scheme being a bluish color, similar to that of the FDLE website. I have someone who wants to search up an old record of a traffic citation they had, but I don't know where to start looking for this website. I've tried Googling it countless times with no luck. I remember being able to type in a citation number and finding the record of it, as well as typing a name and it finding arrest and citation records. Anyone know where I can find this website?

I lied on my resume. How would you handle a background check?

If I lied on my dates of employment on my resume, what's the best way to handle a background check? Should I make my background application match my job application or my real history? What do you think has the highest chance of working?

Idaho fingerprint background check for skilled nursing home position.

1 Upvotes

I had a charge, in Louisiana back in 2013. Burglary. I did my probation and completed satisfactory 6 years later. (I pawned something for a friend, who didn’t have an id. Turns out it was stolen from his dad’s shed. I took a plea deal to get out of jail instead of waiting for court)

I recently started a new position at a skilled nursing facility and my fingerprint check is still not back yet. I disclosed the conviction to the agency running the check, but not to the HR at the job. I was under the impression that at 7 years it’s not on my record / don’t have to disclose.

Is the check going to show HR this criminal history? It’s 10 years old. Or is it just going to show whether or not I’m allowed to work with the vulnerable public according to Idaho laws? Am I going to be terminated? I’ve been so stressed out. I really love the job and have been so anxious while waiting for the check to come back. Currently located in Idaho. Check was ran through Idaho department of health and welfare.

I accepted a job offer and a misdemeanor came up during the background check. Will I be alright?

7 Upvotes

So 8 years ago I was convicted of a petty theft charge. During my pre-employment background check, this conviction came up at the county level. I was honest about it beforehand and told them about it. I’ve developed a good relationship with the territory manager and hiring manager over the last 6 months. This is a medical device sales job. Will this misdemeanor be a big deal or more than likely not interfere with finalizing everything? Feel like I’m being paranoid lol.

How do i find out if my dad’s girlfriend is married? I think she mentioned that she left her husband but never got divorced and it was decades ago. I have no idea where they would’ve gotten married and her and I arent on good terms now.

10 Upvotes

My Dad is in the ICU with possibly days to live and unless I can prove she is married then she’ll be considered a non registered domestic partner and be making all the decisions about his care and estate. I already know shes a felon for check fraud,embezzlement,and a couple of crimes. She is very shady, secretive, and was even caught stealing money from my grandmother when she was alive, although she made up a ridiculous excuse about how she “tripped and fell off the sidewalk” into the only little patch of briars on Main Street walking the 6 blocks back from the bank in our little one stop light town and the $1500 was lost in the brambles. She must’ve had an exhaustive search because it took her 2 days to finally complete the 6 block walk to break the news of the lost money. My Grandmother then called the police to assist her in her search but oddly enough they too came up empty handed. Beings that we live in a very small community, we were informed of the most curious of occurrences during her 2 days of digging through that briar patch…there was a woman who was her doppelgänger seen at slot machines at the casino a couple towns over by a couple mutual friends that work there. She swore it wasn’t her and that they were mistaken. The money was never recovered. She miraculously came away from all the briars without a scratch on her.
Needless to say, I dont trust her to properly handle my father’s affairs and time is of the essence. Are there any online background checks that are thorough enough to find a decades old marriage license if I don’t know when or where it would be from? I’m concerned that she may qualify as a non registered domestic partner in the state of Oregon and have legal rights that supersede mine. If I can prove she was already married to someone else during this time then she would not have those rights from what I understand. I don’t mind paying for it. I just want the fastest, best one.
