  • Signs of a quality background check company
  • What consent is required to run background screens

If the information retrieved in the background screening is not accurate or untrue, applicants have a right to dispute the data as well. In the HR Screening Kit, human resource professionals will find:

  • Best practices for screening and getting applicant consent 
  • How to implement a background check policy for applicants and current employees
