How Do I Get a Background Check?

Are you wondering how to get a background check? Whether you are an employer trying to vet a job candidate or an individual hoping to run a self-check, backgroundchecks.com can help. Read on to learn more about ordering the type of check you require.

For Individuals

We also offer background check solutions for job seekers. When applying for a job, it’s common practice to spend some time doing interview prep. It is far less common for job candidates to “prepare” for the background check—mostly because they assume preparation isn’t possible. In truth, though, there are things you can do to prepare for your pre-employment screening. Running a background check on yourself is one such strategy.

A self-check is an excellent way to make sure you know what hiring managers will see if/when they pull your background information. Perhaps you are seeking a job that involves driving and can’t recall exactly how clean your driving record is. Pulling that record before you submit your application or go into a job interview will refresh your memory and enable you to be completely honest with your prospective employers. Alternatively, maybe you recently had a conviction expunged, and you want to make sure it is no longer showing up on your background check. In either case, conducting a background check on yourself is a wise preparation step. At backgroundchecks.com, we have self-check solutions for both criminal histories and driving records.

Through a partnership with Peoplefinders, we are also able to offer background checks that individuals can run on other people. If you want to learn more about a neighbor, a colleague, a romantic interest, or a friend, you can use this type of check for this purpose. Read this blog post first to make sure you aren’t wading into legally fraught territory.
