Organizations leverage background screening when hiring new employees in order to protect themselves from making a costly mistake. But candidates are also protected by federal laws, like the FCRA that help regulate background reports by promoting accuracy and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies (CRA). There are several kinds of CRAs that distribute information about credit history, check writing, and motor vehicle records, among others. Remaining lawful under the FCRA can be tricky but is essential to a compliant and effective hiring process. Lean on your background screening provider to assist with interpreting reports, explaining terminology, having an established dispute process, and providing prompt reinvestigation.
