Pre-Employment FAQ

How far back do background checks go?

When people ask this question, they’re usually referring to criminal background checks. As for the answer? It depends—and it's complicated. It depends on where the applicant lives and where they work. Some states say you can look back forever and report on everything, including arrest records. Other states say that you can only go back 7 years and report on convictions and pending cases. Still, other states say you can report on convictions, except in cases where the conviction was expunged or sealed. You can see why working with a reputable vendor who can deliver compliant pre-employment screenings is incredibly important. Learn more about 7-year "look back" rule in background checks.
