With the movement of so many forms of public records becoming available for online searches, employers have developed a heavy reliance on criminal background checks and credit checks as tools to help them vet potential employees. These tools can provide employers with a level of insight into your personal life that may make some people uncomfortable.
Criminal background checks and credit checks can be a massive hindrance to securing employment when they contain errors that cast you in a negative light. As you may never see these reports and as potential employers may never cite the erroneous information they uncovered through such a check, you may never know that the reason you were not offered a job was because of some negative false information contained within them.
However, you have certain rights when you have been denied employment due to information contained in these reports. We know your rights and can help you assert them.
Even if you are aware that some error appears on your criminal background or credit check, having that error removed can be exceptionally difficult. When errors are eventually removed, they may reappear without your knowledge.
Errors on criminal background checks and credit checks have an especially large impact on those attempting to secure employment with the government. It can be difficult enough to secure the position you want with the government without errors in your pre-security screening derailing your chances.
