Many jobs and credit applications require a background check. People’s reactions to this requirement vary. I’ve been in employment offices where individuals adamantly refused to give out some of their personal information for reasons of privacy. I’ve also seen people give out their social security number and more without even stopping to think about it. We all seem to have an opinion about the wide variety of information that can be acquired about us, whether directly or through various information sources.

Let’s think about this for a moment. If you are going to be entrusted with cash, private records, proprietary information, or the health and well-being of other persons, wouldn’t you want a background check if you were the person or the institution to whom such possessions and information belonged? Of course you would!

You are not going to hand your wallet to a stranger on the street and assume they will return it with everything in place. That’s just about what an employer or lender would be doing if they did not check your background and your credit history. They need to feel safe about where they put their trust, just as you do.

In my line of work, we require a background check on each and every employee. We have to. There is no way we can entrust our business to people we do not know without having some kind of reference information about them. It is a requirement. Too much is at risk not to require the background check.

Yes, some background checks contain faulty information. That is true. Especially if you have a common name, there may be information in your file that is not yours.
