A background check will investigate a candidate's background based on criteria determined by their prospective or current employer.
In some cases, a check of a candidate background may include employment, education, criminal records, credit history, motor vehicle and license record checks.
Each type of check will reveal different information pertinent to that check. A candidate should get clarification from the organization requesting the background check in order to understand what specific searches are being requested.
