What searches are included in a background screen?

All organizations' background screening requests may vary; however, none will be performed without your consent.  With that being said, a basic search in most background screens includes county level criminal record searches which may include traffic, misdemeanor, and felony convictions.  There are also cases where driving or motor vehicle records are included.

Also, every state has its own statutes governing what information can be reported on a background screen. BIB reports only the information deemed reportable by local, state, and federal law.

Additionally, the type of role you are applying for may require a credit check as part of the background screening process.
