Companies that request your background check for employment purposes must provide you with a background check disclosure and obtain your authorization to request your background from a consumer reporting agency, also known as a background check vendor, like HireRight. You will be asked to submit a consent form via a paper copy with your employer, or electronically (“E-Consent”) by electronic signature (“E-Signature”).

If you are requested to provide E-Consent, an E-Signature will be required for authorization to proceed with the processing of the background check. Once you have completed all required information on your background screening invitation and reviewed the hiring company’s disclosures, your authorization is required to begin processing the background invitation form:

  • Review the disclosure and authorization forms

  • Check the two certification boxes

  • Provide an electronic signature including mouse drawn signature

  • Click the “Accept & Submit” button.

A confirmation message will display. The request I.D. for your background screening request, as well as an estimated completion date for your background check if enabled by your hiring company, will be provided.
