Part two of our four part series on employment screening addresses the topic of criminal background checks and how employers can optimize their employment screening procedures.
An international background check is likely to take longer than a domestic check. Expect five days to three weeks for an international background check. Background investigations in some countries might come through sooner, and a few could take longer.
Every employer who orders background checks on job candidates or current employees should have a written background check policy.
A written background check policy must be:
Based on legal requirements.
Thorough.
Fair.
Applied uniformly
