A Background Check Is Serious

January 18th, 2008

It is very important to consider who you are investigating when determining what type of background check you need and what records you expect to find.  A background search may include investigation of a Social Security Number, criminal history, academic preparation, motor vehicle records, or other records applicable to the job for which the applicant is being considered.  In New Zealand, criminal checks have been affected by the Clean Slate Act 2004, which allows individuals to legally conceal "less serious" convictions from their records provided they had been conviction-free for at least seven years.  Under the federal Privacy Act, service records are confidential and can only be released under limited circumstances.
