Candidates' Rights and Responsibilities
If your employer is conducting a background check on you, they should inform you of this beforehand and ask for your consent. In most cases, this will be included as part of the pre-employment screening process, and you will be asked to sign a consent form authorizing the background check. If you have any concerns or questions about the background check process, you should speak to your employer.
No, a background check will not show your credit score. However, some employers may request a credit report as part of the background check process. In this case, they will be looking for information about your credit history, such as outstanding debts or bankruptcies. Your credit score will not be included in the report.
Yes, if you believe that the information included in your background check report is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to dispute it.

Accuracy of Background Check Reports
At Verify360, we use a combination of advanced technology and human expertise to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in background check reports. We use the latest software and tools to streamline our screening process and ensure that all data is verified and validated. Our team of experts conducts thorough and comprehensive checks to ensure that all information is accurate and up-to-date.
Ongoing Monitoring & Updates
Yes, Verify360 offers ongoing monitoring services for both employees and vendors. These services can be customised to meet the specific needs of your business and may include regular updates on criminal records, employment history, or other relevant information. Ongoing monitoring can help you ensure that your employees and vendors continue to meet your company’s standards and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
The frequency of background check report updates depends on the specific needs and requirements of your business. Verify360 can work with you to establish an appropriate schedule for ongoing monitoring and updates, whether it be monthly, quarterly, or annually. This will help you stay informed about any changes in your employees’ or vendors’ background information and maintain a safe and compliant workplace.
Criminal Records & Background Checks
The scope of a criminal background check can vary depending on the jurisdiction, the type of job, and the specific requirements of the employer. In some cases, criminal background checks may only cover a certain period of time, such as the past seven years. In other cases, the check may cover the candidate’s entire criminal history. Verify360 will work with clients to ensure that the scope of the criminal background check meets their specific needs and complies with all relevant laws and regulations.
A criminal record does not automatically disqualify a candidate from employment. The decision to hire someone with a criminal record depends on the employer, the nature of the job, and the specific details of the candidate’s criminal history. In many cases, employers will consider factors such as the severity of the crime, the length of time since the offense, and the candidate’s work history and qualifications. Verify360 ensures that all background checks are conducted in accordance with applicable laws, which may provide certain protections for individuals with criminal records.
In some jurisdictions, it may be possible for a candidate to have their criminal record expunged or sealed, which means that the record is no longer publicly accessible. The process for expungement or sealing a criminal record varies depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case. If a candidate’s criminal record has been expunged or sealed, it should not appear in a background check conducted by Verify360.
Handling Discrepancies and Pricing
If we find a discrepancy in the information provided in a background check, we will investigate further to ensure the accuracy of the information. We will also notify the client of any discrepancies found and provide recommendations on how to proceed.
Our pricing model varies depending on the type and volume of screening services required, as well as the location of the candidate or vendor. We offer competitive pricing and will work with you to design a screening package that best fits your business needs and budget. We are transparent about our pricing and will provide you with a detailed breakdown of costs before beginning any screening services.
