Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Are Background Checks Legal?

My name is Lisa Sprowls and I am a Filtration Recruiter. I work on many sales/ engineering/executive/ and management level positions serving the search and recruitment needs of both large and small manufacturers and distributors in the Filtration/Water & Wastewater/ Separations/and Environmental Industries.

With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.

Are Background Checks Legal?
Is it legal to use background search information in hiring decisions?
Yes, it is. Misrepresentation or falsifying information on a job application or resume may be grounds for firing an employee or denying an applicant. Additionally your company may be held liable for “negligent hiring” if you employ a dangerous or unqualified person in a job where they could harm others.

What laws govern the use of background checks?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) defines how background checks should be conducted and used when outsourced to third-party companies such as BackTrack. The FCRA must be used in conjunction with state laws when doing background checks for your location. For a full text or specifics regarding the FCRA and the related FACT Act, go to http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcrajump.htm
