What is the difference between a pre-employment screening report and a background check?
A pre-employment screening report provides the same information as a background check, but is conducted for different reasons. Pre-employment screening is conducted on potential employees during the hiring process. A background check may be needed on a current employee that was not screened prior to employment, or when entering into a working relationship or business partnership with an individual.
Do potential employees have to sign a consent for screening?
Yes. It is federal law that potential employees undergoing pre-employment screening must sign a General Authorization/Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) release. This release is provided to your company or agency by Spade Security Group.
