Summary

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires consumer reporting agencies like Checkr to collect certifications from customers before conducting background checks, ensuring compliance with federal law and state regulations. These certifications ensure the customer is ordering background checks for a permissible purpose, not using them in violation of equal opportunity laws, providing required disclosures and authorizations, and following procedures for adverse action notices in an employment context. By making these certifications, customers can mitigate legal risks, protect candidates' rights, and partner with Checkr to maintain a fair and transparent screening process.
