Those of you that have done this what service did you use for the 
background check? Any additional feedback on this process?

My payroll company (using a third party) did a background check.  It was
like $50 or $100.  It's stupid to try and save a buck without seeing how
much risk you could be entering.

If you have commercial vehicle insurance and are not currently doing
pre-employment drug tests and drivers record checks, I think you will find
that the fine print of your insurance contract states that your coverage is
null/void without pre qualification of every driver. Not a thing you want
to discover when somebody crashes a 3/4 ton van and causes $45,000 of
damage plus liability for third parties' medical bills.

Drug test, background check, and driving record check should be standard 
for all employees.

background checks are becoming targeted as discriminatory. This is one
issue you should go through a real attorney to ensure whatever you do is
defensible in the future. The "ive been doing it for years" people will
tell you it doesnt matter, thats free advice, and worth ever penny.

If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as
part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.

Just one minor piece of advice - see if you can specify what information you
do and do not want to see.  It's hard to unsee it once you've seen it.

 

There's a lot of data they can easily include like credit score,
bankruptcies, convictions, etc.  Some of this information may be relevant -
you may not want an employee with burglary or drug convictions going into
customer houses unsupervised (or driving your vehicles or handling your
expensive equipment).  Or you may not want to see some of this information.
If they include it in the report, you may have a hard time arguing in the
future that you didn't look at it.  I would argue if you're not going to use
it in hiring decisions, maybe you don't want to see it.  On the other hand,
if it would look bad in some future lawsuit trying to explain why you hired
this guy despite XYZ, then maybe you did want to see XYZ.

 

Some places go out of their way to hire ex cons, like Felony Franks, home of
the Misdemeanor Weiner:

Jon Oliver has done some shows on the difficulties facing released prisoners
trying to re-enter society and hold a job.
