MBI's Best Practices Guide

With ever-changing rules, regulations and legislation in the employee background screening industry, MBI Worldwide understands how important it is as a Human Resource Manager to stay ahead of the hiring game with the EEOC.

MBI’s Compliance Department has compiled a checklist of background screening legal and best practices to help you stay compliant in the hiring process.  This list includes:

• Consent and Disclosure
• Screening
• Adverse Action

These are a few of the questions that are answered in our checklist: 

• Do I know the proper release language or am I still using language that is not legally permissible?
• Have I provided proper disclosures to the job applicant?
• Do I evaluate criminal records in accordance with the EEOC’s Enforcement Guidance?
• Do I know where I need to apply the Credit Report Ban?
• Do I use online screening agencies that are not regulated?
• Do I provide written notice to applicants?
• Do I fully understand pre-adverse action and adverse action when using a consumer report?
