How far back do background checks go?
The most common employment background check requested by our clients is: A current Social Security Number Scan, County Criminal Record Checks for counties in which an applicant lived, worked, and went to school during the last seven years, Employment Verifications for employers for which the applicant worked during the past seven years, and Education Verifications for all post high school education. However the full answer to the question is more complicated than that. For more information, see How Far Back Do Employment Background Checks Go.
