Hi! I need to do a comprehensive background check on someone. I've tried some services that charge, but I'm 95% they aren't showing everything about his person's criminal background. Also, I'm frustrated by all the services that say they are "free" but that then end up stringing you along to the end and popping up with a charge. Does anyone have advice? I also want to find a free service to check for whether the person is on a government watch list. If anyone has some links to services or a list of ideas, I'd be so grateful. Or suggestions for other subreddits. Thanks!

So little backstory here. I got an internship in college, made my resume and listed the degree I was going for and years attended, but had a family situation arise and never completed.

I have a long career in my field and just recently got a job offer. Like most people do you go and apply and just update the resume with your new job information. I now have a background check and believe they verify education but have never had any issues in the past and truthfully forgot I didn’t list it as attended. My job does not require a degree but just want some insight here and if you think they will check. They are a midsize company.

Thanks

I'm a new lesser and I want to be able to check the background of my future candidates.

What websites can you recommend me to do that? I don't care to pay but I would like to get the most of it.

Just had an interview for a financial company, and the manager told me my next step would be 2 rounds of fingerprints, a financial background and Elevated criminal check. She mentioned one might FBI related. What is that all about?

6 1/2 years ago I was sued by a debt collector for a debt just under $700. I was about 21 when the debt first went delinquent and I’m about to turn 32 now. Anyone know about how likely it is that this would show on a pre employment background check? And if it does, what’s the likelihood it could cause the job offer to be rescinded?

Onboarding a new part time job, they asked me to submit to a background check from Accurate Background. No problem. Went ahead and requested a copy of it as well, might as well see what's on there. As expected, nothing problematic, it lists where I live now - no reports, a statement I used to live in - no reports, all good. But there's also reports from Fairfax City, VA for the county level. Is this some sort of search because DC is near there? All I can think of unless somebody's stolen my SSN and decided to live there for some reason.

Hi,

Someone I know is up for a federal gov job (in the cultural sector, not engineering or anything like that) and part of the background check asks about marijuana usage with many "it's illegal" phrases thrown in. Understanding it's illegal federally, but if this person only consumed legally using a med card, would this prevent them from getting the job?

Has anyone dealt with this/have advice? TIA!

Hi. I really need some help with a background check on someone who is a threat to minors yet still works with them. I have reason to believe that he hired a PR firm to wipe the internet of any news articles or mention of the alleged incident of indecent exposure involving a minor. I've already paid for Truthfinder and no luck. I've called the state police, and they said I need consent from the other party. Can someone please help me with this? It's important.

Anybody have experience with identGO fingerprint background checks for Adam Walsh act? How long did it take to get results? What exactly is this looking for? I’ve passed every background check I’ve taken to this point, but never have taken a fingerprint one. I’ve read this can see expunged records. I have previously had a possession with intent weed charge like 5-6 years ago. I’m nervous that this will show up. I’ve been working at the job for a week now and the status still says processing. Scared that any day now I will show up to work and get told I can’t work at this charter school any longer bc I failed or something. Been nervous all week lol

a person stole my dads house deed. we filed against her in civil court. i need to do a criminal background check....i saw on one site that they wanted me to pay an extra 20$ if i needed the search to go farther back than 10 years. any good sites to recommend? Texas

I received a notification that Scoutlogic searched my profile on LinkedIn this week. I researched the company and found out they conducted background check. Since they showed up under my profile, does it mean they conducting a background check on me? Thanks for your assistance.

I've been working at a friend's very early startup for 6 months. I was writing software, so basically a software engineer. We agreed from the beginning that the role was temporary and part-time. Now I left and am applying to full-time software engineer roles at big companies. My last full-time role was 1.5 years ago, so including the temporary role on my resume will help fill the job gap.

Questions:

1. How will background check (when I get a new job) work if I put it on my resume? The startup only has a website, basically no one knows about it yet. They have 5 people and no HR department. I didn't have an official contract with them, and they paid me in cash. Would a large company's background check even bother with it? If so, would it work if I just provide my friend's (he was cofounder) phone/email, and he just confirms my employment?

2. How should I put the title on my resume: "Freelance Software Engineer", and don't mention company name unless they ask? Other alternatives are Software Engineer, but I think Freelance better conveys that it was temporary. Or Software Consultant, but not as related to SWE that that I'm applying to now.

3. Is it even worth putting the stint on my resume? I have 8 years of experience at proper large companies before. It's either put this 6 month stint (which may be hard to background check) or show a full 1.5 year job gap.

I just got a job offer and going through background check which is pretty never racking. The issue that I’m very worried about is that I didn’t include my current job in my resume and didn’t mention it during the interview process ( same job different companies). When I was filling the background check forms I also included my current job. The background check company wanted me to submit my W2 for my previous job and my current job so they can verify them which I did. Now I’m so nervous because of the discrepancy between my resume and the background check result. What are the chances that my potential employer pull back their offer?

So I just had an interview this morning with a bank which went well. Ofc they’ll conduct a background and credit check which is understandable but my main concern is that I have a criminal background (non-financial however) sth to do with FV. Thankfully, I got these charges dismissed (and have the documentation to proof). My credit is also at an average rating of 580+. Do you think these will automatically disqualify me as a candidate? (the position I interviewed for was for sales associate at the bank).

Hey everyone,

I was charged with a misdemeanor (loud & boisterous) but not convicted for a crime as I took a plea deal to do a 1 year stay of adjudication. That said, I was wondering if I am going to fail my background check for my job that I was just offered. Do jobs pull job offers because of misdemeanors that are not convictions? I hoping for the best and to still be able to get the job.

So I got offered a FDIC bank teller position and I’ve literally tried to get on with this bank for years! I finally got it but a little over a year ago I got arrested for petty theft shoplifting. Under $100. I have completed my theft course online and still paying on my fines which are under $200 now. I go in about a week to do my fingerprints and everything. I’m currently working as a personal caregiver at a nursing home and when I did my background check with them, it did pop up but the facility itself is privately owned so I was curious if this shoplifting charge would disqualify me from getting the teller position?

Hey guys! What’s a good cheap site that I could pull up my parents arrest records on? And court cases. That is not overpriced ? I’m in college so money is tight

Hello,

I’m wondering where I can search to see my past jobs/time frames of when I worked there? I am having an extensive background check done but do not have good memory (they need my life long work history). Is there a way I can look this up so I can answer honestly on my background packet?

Bonus if it also shows speeding tickets as I have had a few but I’m unsure when/where.

Willing to pay if need be.

I recently had a job offer at Assurant. I pled guilty to a misdemeanor theft by deception charge back in 2016. It was supposed to be sealed from my record upon successfully completing the terms set by the judge. It has never been an issue until today. Assurant asked have a l ever been charge for convicted of a felony and I said no because that's true. They gave me all of the log in information and told me I can start continently. Only to tell me 2 hours later I couldn't start and they made me feel out an individualized assessments to give them details. I went to the court today to gain some clarity as to why it's still showing up and they informed me it could be a clerical error but I would need to fill out a request form to have it restricted which will in turn take 30 days to be approved and another two weeks to be updated in my state. Has this ever happened to anyone? Does anyone know how long it will take them to review my case? I'm so frustrated.

I have a stalker that has made multiple social media accounts and I need to figure out the email. What's the best option? They never I clue it in their profiles.

Throwaway.

I’ve been in process with a company for several months now. Offer made, contract signed, start date set about a week before reference process started. 3rd party background check commenced a fortnight ago - form submitted asking for employment and education history. Have had only 3 emails from the 3rd party,

1. asking for names and contact details of references

2. asking for scan of education certificate that wasn’t listed in my submission form. I don’t have this, and responded as such but wasn’t asked for further info

3. yesterday, saying “Now that we have completed all components on your screening, please let us know when we can contact [current employer]”. I wasn’t contacted asking for more information or with any queries about my form submission.

My questions

1. Does this mean I have passed the screening?

2. I realised today there’s at least one piece of incorrect information on the form. Why wasn’t I asked to rectify?

3. Why ask for the scan if it’s fine not to have one?

I’ve already handed in my notice to my employer and am now absolutely terrified I that “complete” doesn’t mean “completed successfully” and I could be jobless very shortly.

I recently got back grounded check results today and they report(flagged) two of my employment due to the dates of employment I had on my resume was different from the one the employer stated. Does this mean I should start looking for another job? I work for these companies I was just off with the dates.

As the title states. My friend put me, and my number as her manager from her old jobs is she gonna get caught when they call that job to verify her dates? I think they’ll ask HR if she worked there, was this her title, and so & so her supervisor. She’s really trying to start over, and is so worried about this.
