Human resources question.?

Question

I am applying for a job and had two interviews already. so far i have done quite well. Today i recieved in the mail, an application and a some sort of waiver to allow them to check criminal history, driving record, and credit history. The job is for an entry level data entry position. its not a great job, or job that requires a degree. So its not anything to make a career out of. What i am wondering is, do they really check all of that stuff? The job requires no driving at all so i am curious as to why they need to know about my driving record, and why they would check my credit? Is this something the employer would really check? They are a small company.

Answer 1

They actullay check out all that information. They do all these checks to determine what you are like. Say for instance that you are in debt up to your eyeballs, that might say to the employer that you are going to do what you want to do regardless of the consequences

Answer 2

Soem companies check these things. Here where I work they checked my credit, driving record, and also a background check. Even if it is a small company they are authorized to do this for safety purposes. If you've got nothing to hide then authorize them to do this. Another thing that they are doing this is that there is a possibility that you will be hired. Good Luck

Answer 3

Many jobs even low paying require a lot of responsibility. For instance, a cook in a independent restaurant. If he doesn't know and constantly monitor the temperature of all cold and hot stored foods, someone can get sick, even die. Cleanliness is something easilly learned, but it takes responsibility to practice it, and I mean in detail, each time you touch a light switch or something, germs land on your fingers, you gotta scrub. I could go on and on with other occupations, like housekeeping in a hospital. They work where people have deadly and contagious deseases. Imagine what they go through every minute on the job to prevent one room's disease to pass to the next room. These are both relatively low paying jobs, but they do lots of checks on people prior to hiring. Ron

Answer 4

Its probably routine. Most companies will ask for some sort of background check, previous employers, criminal history, etc. If your clean, relax, its probably done for all new employees.

Answer 5

yes - companies do do this check. There are services that do criminal and credit background checks. It may be that your company has a client that requires their vendors to be bonded.

Answer 6

99.9% of the time they won't check for a police record, however there is that .1% that will. A girl I know in H.R. told me that her boss makes her check everything just so she has something to do.
Some employers are sticklers for employee ethics and if they find one thing out of line they won't hire you.

Answer 7

Sometimes your driving record/ credit history shows how responsible you are.
