Background Screening

It seems background screening and the proper use of criminal records in pre-employment screening continues to stay in the news. Congress answers back to the new EEOC guidelines by making sure the EEOC cannot fund any enforcement of its new guidelines. Congress also denied the EEOC of any authoritative power over the governance of its new document. The Senate Appropriations Committee criticized the guidance stating that it, “may limit the ability of conscientious employers to hire with confidence and create conflict with Federal and State laws.” To read more about the controversy surrounding the EEOC document and its potential effects on the background screening industry please read recent press release found at: http://www.criminalbackgroundrecords.com/news/2012-07-18-Background-Screening-Always-In-The-News.html

My Criminal Background Check

Knowing what is on your criminal record gives you an advantage when looking for employment. Otherwise known as a pre-interview background check, performing a criminal background check on your self has several benefits. Even if you are certain you have no criminal history it still is a good idea to run a criminal background check on yourself to verify there are no mistakes or errors on your criminal record. Same name matches and fat finger mistakes happen and can connect you to a criminal record that is not yours. Finding out these errors and then correcting them can ensure you don’t get rejected for your dream job because of a data entry error or false identity connection. The term, “my criminal background check” is a division of the background check industry focused on personal background checks or self background checks.

EEOC Exposes Discrimination in use of Criminal History Searches

Leave a reply

New EEOC Enforcement Guidance Document expresses discrimination concerns of the use of criminal history searches in modern day employment screening practices.  The document emphasizes the huge race and national origin disparity shown by the number of arrests; convictions and prison time of minorities verse Whites. This disparity makes it much more difficult for minorities to get jobs and thus increases recidivism based on lack of opportunity continuing the vicious cycle that stagnates the problem and doesn’t seek to fix it.

The Enforcement Guidance states that in the USA as many as 1 in 3 African American men and 1 in 6 Hispanic men are expected to serve time in prison verses only 1 in 17 White men.  It is quoted that, “African Americans and Hispanics are arrested at a rate that is 2 to 3 times their proportion of the general population (assuming that current incarceration rates remain unchanged).

Dealing with Discrepancies in Criminal Records Reports

Leave a reply

The criminal record retrieval industry is not a perfect industry and criminal records found may not be yours or the person being investigated.  With most criminal record matching logic being based solely on name match only pairing, the possibilities of false positives can be alarming.  For people just looking for as much public records as they can find on an individual sorting through these numerous records is bearable, however not for human resources.  Using criminal records searching as part of the employment screening process is becoming more precise with less arbitrary data being reviewed or even considered.  Modern day human resources only want to see relevant criminal records on prospective hires and want to know that the criminal records returned actually belong to the person being investigated.

CriminalBackgroundRecords.com is leading the industry in this area and has processes and operations in place to deal with discrepancies in criminal record reports as well as the ability to facilitate removal and or expungement of certain court ordered criminal records.
