The main reason background checks are done is to determine any forms of discrepancies that could arise from the information that an individual claims and what is reported by an individual’s past schools, institutions, employers, and state records.

More specifically, employers perform employee background checks to avoid bad publicity, meet regulatory, insurance, and customer requirements, reduce workplace violence, protect against negligent hiring liability, and hire the right person too.

Nonetheless many people still wonder what really comes up after a comprehensive background check. The answer will depend as the findings are often so many. However, they will revolve around the following things that we are going to show.

County Criminal Record Check

For the criminal record around your state and county, the findings could be a little bit different from what you’d find from an FBI background check application. Even so findings from the county criminal records would include the following.

• Active Warrants

• Felonies/ Infractions

• Misdemeanors

• Pending cases

• Diversion in process

Credit Report/ History Check

When it comes to credit history or credit report, what you find from a credit bureau on your credit history will basically come up with the following things. They don’t have to include all of them. Actually they could even be one or two.

• Delinquent accounts

• Public record bankruptcies

• Foreclosures

• Charged-off accounts

• Loan payment defaults

Employment History Verification

For employee background checks the most crucial discrepancies that could easily present themselves on the final background check report include the following issues. They are also what you should seek to address when doing a personal background check for a job application.

• No records of the applicant found. • Mo possible records found on previous hire. • Salary differs from what the applicant highlighted. • Dates of employment differs • Job titles differs in a big way • Duration of application also differs

Federal Criminal Record Check

Anyone who needs a Federal Criminal Record Check uses an FBI background check application. This form of check is slightly different from the State and County Criminal Record Checks. It is often all inclusive of the rest and more. Here are some of discrepancies that you could find here.

• Active warrants

• Felonies/ Infractions

• Pending cases still in process

• Diversion in Process

• Misdemeanors

Motor Vehicle Report

Motor vehicle report (MVR) is an all inclusive background check document that is often used by individuals whose job application requires driving experience. An MVR will reveal a number of discrepancies if there including the following.

• No record or the individual found

• No license found

• License expired and never renewed

• License revoked or suspended

• Number of accidents in the past few years

• Other violations

When applying for a background check it is important to look through all these options. However, you should also remain quite consistent in your findings. In case anything beyond 7 years shows up, you have a right to contest.
