An employment background check in this product is a consumer report prepared by ScreenForge Labs for a job. It is not a Google search, not a neighbor's opinion, and not a form you fill with the person's Social Security number. This lesson is educational and is not legal advice. Counsel reviewed the FCRA, fair chance, and adverse action courses, and they are on the public hub.
PreHireBadge Academy courses are free and educational. Completing a course or earning a certificate is not legal advice, not a professional license, and not a legal credential. Laws change. Read the cited sources and ask a qualified attorney about your own hiring decision.
- You invite. You do not type identifiers
- The candidate consents, then the report is ordered
- You read what ScreenForge released, not what it suppressed
