Employers may request a range of background checks to be carried out for a prospective new employee, or an existing member of staff.
Depending on the role you have applied for, your employer may wish to check a range of things - from your criminal record, your employment history, your academic qualifications, or even professional references, to name a few.
Employers may wish to carry out the background screening process for any number of reasons, so you may wish to discuss with your employer why they have requested your checks.
