Whether you are hired or promoted for a job may depend on the information gathered by the employer in a background check.

Today, more employers are being sued for "negligent hiring" for not checking carefully enough into the background of a potential employee. If an employee's action hurts someone, the employer may be liable. That is one reason more background checks are being conducted. The "information age" also accounts for the increase in background checks -- the availability of computer databases containing millions of records of personal data. As the cost of searching these sources drops, employers are finding it more feasible to conduct background checks. privacyrights.org |
