According to SHRM, “there is an increased risk for your business when getting a background check”. In fact, the process is already complicated and set to get even more difficult in order to keep up with new compliance laws and regulations. Your HR department should effectively navigate background checks. Indeed, it’s certainly becoming more complex for private individuals researching someone’s background.
Roughly, 86% of all employers run a credit report on their employees, but according to the Society For Human Resource Management, “many people are struggling to make ends meet and the credit screening process is irrelevant to many positions”.

For example, the healthcare industry is cannot employ individuals with a background indicating unsuitability.
