Summary

Choosing the right background screening package for retail employment positions can be challenging, as it requires considering various factors such as job duties, cost, turnaround time, and compliance considerations. To optimize screenings, employers should create tailored packages for each position and consider the type of screenings that show relevant information to the specific job duties, are appropriate to the level of responsibility and seniority, and are comprehensive without being overly broad or too deep for the role. Employers must also be aware of screening compliance requirements, including individualized assessments and fair hiring laws in some jurisdictions, as well as common types of background checks such as criminal records, state-wide searches, county searches, federal searches, global watchlist searches, onsite drug tests, employment verification, education verification, employment credit checks, driving record checks, and more. By customizing Checkr's pre-bundled packages or creating their own screening packages, retailers can streamline hiring processes, reduce costs, and mitigate risk while ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
