What does EBS mean in EMPLOYMENT

Employment Background Screening (EBS) is the process of verifying information and records provided by applicants and employees. This typically involves credit checks, criminal checks, education verifications, and other inquiries. The goal is to provide employers with insights into an individual’s background and ensure they are not making any hiring decisions that may negatively impact their organization.

Employment Background Screening takes place after a candidate has been identified as a potential hire. The employer must collect the appropriate documentation from the candidate, such as a driver's license or Social Security number. They then submit this information to an EBS provider who will use various methods such as electronic databases, public record searches, interviews with references, etc., to verify the data supplied by the candidate. Once complete, they will provide the employer with a comprehensive report detailing their findings in relation to the requested records.

Employers conduct Employment Background Screenings for several reasons. These include ensuring they have accurate information about prospective employees; reducing any potential risks of litigation resulting from negligent hiring; uncovering discrepancies between truth and fiction on applications and resumes; promoting trust and safety within their workplace; developing fair employment practices by eliminating bias in decision making; and protecting themselves against losses due to employee theft or negligence.

It depends on what type of search you order. Generally speaking though, it doesn’t cost too much for most standard employee background screenings – usually somewhere between $35-$55 per search depending on which provider you go with and what type of package you order. If you're ordering more complex screenings such as international searches or social media research then the cost may be higher.

Yes – when conducting an EBS you must first obtain written authorization from candidates before obtaining any personal records related to their prior employment history or educational background (such as transcripts). You must also give them notice regarding their rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) before initiating a screen in most cases.

A standard screening takes around 3-4 days to complete but this can vary greatly depending on the complexity of your request and how quickly your candidates respond to requests for documentation or references. However there are providers who offer express services where results can be turned around faster – sometimes within 24 hours - but these come at additional costs so bear that in mind if time is critical factor.

Depending on what search package you order, typical results may contain information relating to past addresses & phone numbers; employment verification; credit/criminal history checks; identity & social security number verifications; drug testing results; education/ degree verifications; motor vehicle records check etc..
