Consent to Background and Reference Check

A prospective employee may interview well, but it's always a good idea to make sure you really know who they are before you make the hire. Having a job applicant sign a Consent to Background and Reference Check gives you permission to check up on their application information and background.

Use the Consent to Background and Reference Check document if:

• You're an employer who wants permission to run a background check on information a prospective employee provided
• You'd like to check to see if an applicant has a criminal record
• You're going to speak about an applicant's past job performance with their former employers
• You want to protect your company against future claims of invasion of privacy from employees or prospective employees
