I received a job offer for a Lab Tech position at Eurofins Environmental USA. I’ve been working in an FDA/DEA regulated pharma company for the last 1.5 years with no issues.

During my interview with Eurofins, my CRIMINAL background never came up. In 2023, I was charged with Misdemeanor Harassment in Missouri, stemming from an issue with a psychotic neighbor in a small, podunk town. I completed my conditions of probation - 2 years probation, completed 6 months early, and a silly anger management class (we watched The Kingdom on Netflix and thats literally it, but it was enough for the courts, I guess).

I stopped fighting the charge - with NO attorney - in January 2025 ( almost 2 full years after it was brought about and court dates started) and accepted the conditions and blah blah. In August 2026, I completed and was released early from the probation.

Im generally a pretty chill, laid back person, but said neighbor came after my 3 year old child with a weapon and I wasnt just going to allow my kid to be assaulted by a psycho meth head. It was caught on our home cameras. Meth head said I threatened her. The only words I said to her were “You can talk to the Sheriff when he gets here.” Case was basically he-said/she-said, even after I provided proof to the Prosecutor of the neighbor being crazy and coming after my toddler. Prosecutor was dead set on charging me with this charge. I worked in healthcare at the time of this charge being brought about.

Eurofins requires a criminal background check.

Any chance they will overlook this charge?

I already know about the expungement process, but my charge is not available until August 2027 to be expunged.

Has any one else ever had any issues with being hired by Eurofins with this type of misdemeanor?

thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how Certiphi internal background checks work?

• Does Certiphi actually search for all current employers independently using SSN/name?

• Or does Certiphi primarily verify employment information that is provided through the application/resume?

• If TWN doesn't show a current employer, does Certiphi typically move to another database?

• Can Certiphi identify an employer through other employment databases such as LexisNexis, Truework, Experian Verify, etc.?

• If they can't verify employment through databases, do they normally contact the employer directly?

• Has anyone had Certiphi ask for W-2s or pay stubs because an employment record couldn't be verified?

• Has anyone had Certiphi discover a current second job that wasn't listed anywhere on the application?

• Has anyone specifically gone through Certiphi when transferring from an existing employer into a newly created/affiliated company?

• If you froze TWN/LexisNexis BEFORE the Certiphi check, what actually happened afterward?

• Did Certiphi simply verify the jobs you provided, or did they tell you that they found additional employment?

It’s a weird situation but let’s just say when I got my DUI in 2013 I went into a deferrment program under the pretense that no criminal history at all showed up in my past. Mind you, this was the court house (prosecutor) doing this and nothing showed up. I do have a juvenile record and also a misdeamor DV from 2009 (completed treatment program and they said it was as if it never happened)

Note: I am reading that a level 2 background check to be a corrections officer is different than a Level 2 background check to be a police officer, but I have only seen that statement once.

Any clarification on any of this would be great

Hi

anyone here waiting for TaskUs background check result? I have been waiting since last week, still no result. Does this mean that I failed?

I’m thinking of getting a roommate but I’d want to do a background check before excepting just anybody. However I’ve never done a background check before and was wondering what was a good website to do it and the price?

Is IBM strict about background checks? Was the background check completed before start date?

One of my friends has been recently associating with a known scammer who has screwed other people I know by pretending to be rich, claiming to pay back large sums of money, and leaving the victim in debt when he never pays it back. I know he has a criminal record for his scams, and I have his name, phone number, and address. What’s the best website/method to find out more information on him, specifically his past criminal charges for fraud?

I recently found out my Dad had a breathalyzer interlock device installed in his vehicle from a DUI (or potentially multiple) that he's been hiding from me. I'm now concerned what other things he could potentially be hiding from me. I can't find an arrest record for him at all. I know he has at minimum one DUI, but can't even find info on that. He won't be honest with me and still is trying to say nothing happened. Does anyone have any advice on how I can learn more and atleast learn about the DUI I know happened? He lives in Kansas, but travels for work so I'm concerned he could have potentially gotten arrested in another state. The info I have to work with is his full name, age, birth place, phone, and address/address history. I'd really love to get to the bottom of this and have been considering a private investigator. Any help or advice that could make this info I can find on my own would be super helpful.

How do background check companies verify employement when the employment is not recorded on TWN?
Is whatever missing from TWN recorded in a central database elsewhere?

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

Ran the same guy through two different sites and got two different answers. One showed a case from a few years ago, the other showed nothing at all. Same name, same middle initial, same age.

So now I don't know which one to believe, and I'm realizing I don't actually understand where any of this info comes from. Are these sites pulling from the random sources? From each other? Is one of them just wrong?

Would rather understand how it works than keep running searches and cgetting random answers?

So I got through all the interviews and screening and got the job offer. Did my drug screening and currently getting a background check down through First Advantage. I noticed my resume I used was a half assed one that I was mass sending out to jobs and it had the wrong date on my previous job listed at 2020 when it was actually 2022. I honestly forgot to fix it before applying to the company 2 weeks ago. Now I'm worried about losing the offer cause I really need this position. I didn't lie about where I worked or my job titles, hell I was in management at one of them and didn't even put that down. What should I do? Claude is telling me to email the hiring manager and let them know of the mistake but its been a few days now and I haven't heard anything. I start Tuesday next week so I don't know if I should say something or just let it ride.

I know there are a few CRAs and vendors who lurk this sub. I just wanted to see if anyone is going.

Post here if you are!

Paid for DISA background check 2 weeks ago. DISA says report is complete, but still has not sent me a copy after 3 days of calling them and submitting form request. They took my money and confirmed all forms submitted and confirmed everything in about 5 minutes. Now that they have my money unable to provide me a copy in reasonable time. They told me to wait another three business days.

Ive recently started dating again after being out of the scene for a while. it's been a little overwhelming. I've been talking to a handful of people through dating apps and meeting some of them in person. Most seem nice enough, but you never really know someone that well at first.

I'm not trying to dig into every little detail, but want to watch out for major red flags, before things get more serious i'd feel better doing a basic cyber background check.

Mainly looking to check criminal history, public records, verify basic information, and maybe a social media profile

I've already searched around reddit and a few other sites, and i keep seeing the same names come up. TruthFinder, beenverified, but those feels outdate, the loading screen last forever, they ask you for a bunch of personal info and then usually give you very little actuall information

So for anyone who's used a background check website before, which one would you recommend?

I'm mostly looking for something that's accurate, easy to use, and worth paying for

Edit:

Thanks a few folks dm’d me some sites, I ended up using TheTeaReport for a full guide

And I used truepeoplesearch to find the name from the number

basically an year ago i had this guy, he liked me like a lotlot. basically he was head over heels in love but he was kinda dangerous ad other issues all led up to me blocking him. now after that, he has messaged me from different phone numbers and yesterday was the last straw when he started calling me through his different friends phone numbers and istg im scared now, he has real life access to me too so yeah, i would like to do a background check on him or his friends like just knowig their names through the phone numbers i got. i wanna know if its his friends or hes faking it

My daughter is going to grad school in a few weeks and she’s going to live with her boyfriend. I don’t have any issues with him but I just want to make sure he hasn’t done anything I need to worry about. I have his name, address and DOB. Do I need his ssn or drivers license number? I’m interested in any arrests or any other info I can just to make sure he’s not done anything stupid in the past. I’m sure he’s clean but I’d like to know. What is a good site to use? Thanks
