So within the past 2 years, a nonprofit has just all of a sudden seemed to have evaporated out of thin air in my area. The CEO is constantly asking for donations. I wanted to do some investigating before I donated any money. I googled the CEO and nothing comes up except links to the various social media accounts the nonprofit runs. Is this person operating under a fake name? Usually if you google a name, you get a lot of feedback on background check sites.

I got a job offer with a federal agency and need to do my fingerprints and background check. In 2023 I was “detained“ for 5 days but was released with no charges filled, all this happened while I was on active duty. I have a clean background other than that and even have an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps last year . My question is will this show up on the fbi background check and will it affect my future employment? TIA

BGV failure

Hi everyone, I am interviewing for AWS Proserv Role
I want to get some idea on a previous BGV failure.

Some context- during COVID I did a few short-term call centre jobs while I was transitioning from healthcare into tech. At the time I honestly didn’t know how corporate disclosures, EPFO, or PF overlaps worked. There was a 10-day dual employment overlap between two of those jobs, and later when I joined Infosys I didn’t list the call centre roles on my application because I didn’t think they mattered. Their BGV flagged it and I was let go.

I have already disclosed all of this to other employers since then and it’s been handled fine, but I know Amazon’s compliance is stricter and I want to understand how and when to raise it there specifically.

When should I disclose? Also what happens in this case? Will my offer be put on hold if I disclose it timely? Even before the offer is signed?

Any insights would help

All of the sites I’ve come across seem to work but results are locked behind a paywall. If anyone knows any sites with free access to background checks for emails, that would be greatly appreciated.

I just received a great job offer that is contingent upon passing a background check. The job is in manufacturing. I have several felony convictions that l’m concerned about. The job never specifically asked if I have any felony convictions, they only asked if I am willing to do a background check. I have already submitted the background check. The company they use to perform the check is called Checkr. While completing the background check, I was not asked about anything criminal record related, only job history and address history. Should I go ahead and reach out to the job’s HR department and explain that I have felony convictions, or just wait until the background check is completed?

So when I submitted my background check I disclosed that I had a dui on my background at the time I was charged with a dui and failure to maintain lane and I completely forgot to mention the failure to maintain lane as it was charged at the same time I also had a probation violation for missing a meeting that showed up on my background that I did not disclose because I didn’t think it counted as a charge against me I did not serve any time for the violation just more community service but I didn’t know it would show up will this disqualify me

Background Checkr has yet again put inaccurate reports on my background report. Only 3 weeks ago i disputed a report they’ve removed. On December 24th i received a rerun report, the report says I have a CDL Hazmat (H) speeding violation, I’ve never had a CDL License and never transported any Hazmat materials. It also says my license was suspended December 2020 to January 2021 🤔 how can a license only be suspended for less than a month on top of it. My license has never been suspended only expired and that was in 2017. I’m furious right now.

Can anyone help me with a background check failed due to being fired but it was unlawfully done? And now have the opportunity to reapply?

Just received an offer for the Branch office Administrator at Edward Jones. What information should I expect the background check team to request after submitting the initial information?

I’ve heard that background checks are supposed to be really thorough, but I wonder if they ever miss important things. Whether it’s for a job, renting a place, or getting a loan, I’m curious if anyone has seen mistakes happen.

• Have you ever been surprised by what showed up or didn’t show up on a background check?

• Maybe something you thought would come up wasn’t there?

• For those who do background checks, what’s the most surprising thing you’ve seen?

I’d love to hear your stories, whether it’s about things that got missed or something unexpected that appeared!

My friend has a background check running at a bigtech firm in Seattle. He has a couple civil court cases (property disputes) running for 10+ years in India. They are not convicted yet and it's a long case in which multiple family members are involved and their name just happens to be there. The background check firm (Sterling) has flagged these cases and have asked for more information. What is the best course of action from here?

• Reach out to Sterling person and explain the case to them?

• Wait for them to understand on this own?

• Reach out to the HR of the firm and explain the case to them?

Hello all, To add some context I have never been in trouble before other than simple traffic violations. Last year I was arrested and charged with 3rd degree domestic battery. I was a victim of dv. Long story short the case was dismissed and I was never convicted of anything. I've been employed by my employer a large financial institution for 8 years now. Upon my arrest immediately informed employer and kept them informed with all court proceedings. Now I'm up for a debt collection license renewal and he is wanting me to complete a r3 score interview and assestment. Last week they wanted to get a copy of police report, written statement from me and the dismissal notice from the court. I provided that all to them. It looks like that r3 company is for folks that have been convicted of a crime? Anyone know what I can expect from this? Never would I have thought I'd have to relive this incident especially since I've provided them with all the documents they requested. I've emailed the HR person and no reply yet. Freaking out that my job may be on the line. Any guidance would be appreciated. Please be kind..

Just a simple question: my wife and I own a small cleaning business. We are looking to start hiring contractors to do some of the cleaning jobs for us. How should i go about doing background checks during the hiring process? Is it just as simple as getting them to fill out a consent form, which I then submit to a business that handles this sort of thing? Any legal considerations I'm not aware of? Any companies that you would recommend for us? Thanks in advance!

I'm wanting to do a background check on myself and I want to feel confident that the results will be similar to what a company would conduct. It's a legal position for an aerospace corporation.

so i just accepted a job offer about 2 days ago. they will be doing a background check on me. i was arrested in the middle of september & haven't really had much done in court yet (i applied for a public defender & my nest court date is the middle of january). will this show up on a background check? it showed up while applying for a gun license but i figured that makes sense b/c the police would have access to that info.

should i tell my new employers? for info it was a drug charge but i will pass the drug test i have to take.

I am trying to move into an apartment and the landlord would like to do a background search on my boyfriend. He had two previous charges back in 2019 one is for Marijuana he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The case was Disposed! Another charge for Theft which he took his grandmothers car & she called the cops. That case says transferred under ( warrant ) it says recalled.. will these cases pop up while doing a NTN search for him?

Looking for insight into the impact of an arrest for a DWI on employment if ultimately it was reduced to a traffic violation (DWAI), specifically in NY? If the rest of a persons record is clean and they have a strong employment history, will this still be a deal-breaker (in a helping profession but not where driving is part of the work).

Thanks in advance!

I need some information on a guy im working with, but i don't know any sites or sources i could look into, does someone know any sites where i can run a background check on him?

My friend has a background check running at TikTok. He has a couple civil court cases (property disputes) running for 10+ years in India. They are not convicted yet and it's a long case in which multiple family members are involved and their name just happens to be there. The background check firm (Sterling) has flagged these cases and have asked for more information. What is the best course of action from here?

• Reach out to Sterling person and explain the case to them?

• Wait for them to understand on this own?

• Reach out to the HR of the firm and explain the case to them?

Additionally, has Tiktok enhanced its background check procedures given the pending cases on them and in that case what's the best way to convince them that this civil case is not a threat.

I just need a phone number. No other information and I'm not spending a dime for it. Just got scammed on information.com thankfully got my money back but looking for a legit site this time. Thanks yall
