What happens once I request to view the free preliminary background check on a job seeker?
Once you request the preliminary background check on a job seeker, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) the job seeker must authorize you to view their background check. If the job seeker approves, you will be notified that the check is available for viewing via email and in the Background Check section of your Account. If the job seeker does not approve, it may be that they are not interested in your position or they are not yet comfortable releasing the information to you. Due to the sensitive information included in background checks, job seekers will typically only release their background check information to a family they have met in person. If you do not receive a response to your request, you may send the job seeker a message through our Message Center to confirm your request.
