WHY CREDIT BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE CRUCIAL

Employment background credit checks provide insight into candidate integrity and responsibility towards their financial obligations. It also notes a record of credit-to-debt ratio and any past bankruptcies. Pre-employ is an authorized credit reporting agency (CRA). We offer a complete report to help employers manage risk, and ensure FCRA guidance and compliance for an informed hiring decision.

Key reasons your company wants credit reporting searches include:

  • Demonstrate financial responsibility of the candidate
  • Mitigate poor hiring risks that lead to negligence suits
  • Accurate details that enable you to make a confident employment decision
  • Risk the chances of losing revenue from hiring the wrong employee.

Evaluate Candidate Fiscal Responsibility and More

A pre employment credit check gives employers insights into a candidate’s credit habits and what their current debt ratio looks like. Organizations with finance role vacancies need this information to understand how a potential hire handles money. From late bill pays to previous bankruptcies, this report gives a clear snapshot.

  • Credit inquiries
  • Bankruptcy notifications
  • Payment history
  • Employment history
