How many years do employers go back when doing a background check on new hires.?
The standard is usually a 7 year past criminal history check. But some employers can request longer, such as a 10 year past employment search. What you can do, for free, is use the website http://www.crimcheck.com. They have an extensive public records section so that you can check it out yourself. But since you would have to do the research yourself which can lead to missing out on information, I would recommend http://www.easybackgroundchecks.com , they offer statewide background checks for $20. They also offer nationwide background checks for $30.
