Hiring process, background check

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
How many days does your company take to do a background check/drug test? Do they use choicepoint or perform background checks themselves?

thanks.

A good company could have it done and in the books in 24-48 hours. Drug tests, depending on the circumstances, are quick too. 2-5 days for results to clear after you take it.

On this subject, I actually have a question of my own... A hypothetical, of course. Do they see regular speeding tickets that were paid for in various states?

I have a friend who is in the background check/investigation business. I should ask him...

How many tickets do you have?? geez 😀
 
When we do background checks at the jail, we tell everybody to pay any outstanding traffic tickets. So if you've paid them, they don't show up (at least here in Canada).

One of my students had the same name and birthdate as a multiply-convicted felon. He had to be fingerprinted by the RCMP before we could let him inside.

You are asking for your friend again?

Speeding tickets do not typically show up on criminal history checks unless a criminal act occurred at the same time. Motor vehicle information is public information but in most states the DMV will notify you when someone is attempting to pull this information.
