This may include past employment verification, credit score and criminal history. BACKGROUND CHECK PROCESS: A company hiring a new employee will typically ask for permission to request a background check. After the request is made, a background check company will compile information from databases and sources with records on file (i.e.: court house). WHAT IS ERRONEOUS DATA? Erroneous data is common in many background checks reports due to similar names between citizens, database entry errors, open case files, and inaccurate information. Erroneous data can damage future employee prospects. KNOW WHAT YOUR BACKGROUND CHECK SAYS!! The prospective employee should know the results of their background check, in order to correct invalid data and inaccuracies. www.furststaff.com

Pick their brain about how they started out in the industry and how they got to where they are. • Search yourself. See what prospective employers might find out about you through internet searches. • Set up Google Alerts for yourself, companies you are interested in working with, etc. Be informed about current news. • Join the conversation. Follow the industry leaders via their Social Media outlets. • Be personable, yet succinct in all communication. • Sound focused, confident, and clear. • For more suggestions, please visit www.furststaff.com and select the Resources Tab.
