State Failed to Run Background Checks Before Granting Professional Licenses
Did the protocol for professional license checks break down in Massachusetts? That’s the question that a recent audit of the state’s Division of Professional Licensure (DPL) has raised. In the audit report, the Massachusetts Office of the State Auditor notes that it could not “determine how many professionals were licensed without undergoing required background checks.”
What's in an Employment Verification?
How does a background check verify employment? Employers must use a screening process called employment verification to do so. An employment verification corroborates the work experience in a candidate’s resume. An employer can verify important facts about a candidate’s previous experience by conducting background checks on employment. This information can include job titles, employment dates, and reasons for leaving. Employers use this and other information to support their final hiring decisions.
What Does a Background Check Show Employers?
What Shows Up on a Background Check, and What Do Employers Look For? What does a background check show? The answer is complex due to many factors – different types of record searches report on diverse aspects. However, most employer background checks show the following: criminal records, driving records, civil court records, credit history, work history, and education.
