Get A Quote: https://www.goodhire.com/get-a-quote/ Every day, organizations across the country run criminal background checks on thousands of job candidates. But what exactly is a criminal background check? A criminal background check searches national, federal, state, and county criminal court records to report information about a candidate’s criminal history. Results will show any felony or misdemeanor criminal convictions. Criminal background checks may also show arrests pending prosecution, active warrants, and infractions. Search options can be advanced further too, searching sex offender registries, watch lists and international criminal records. By implementing criminal background checks as part of your hiring process, you can assess any risks associated with bringing on someone with a criminal record and make an informed decision -- before hiring them. Rigorous screening helps you assess whether a candidate is honest and trustworthy… or if they might pose a potential threat to other employees or customers -- and your company's reputation.
