FAQ
Understanding red flags in a candidate's report A "red flag" in a background check could be any number of things. It might be a criminal record or a discrepancy between someone's resume and reality. Sometimes, those anomalies are simple mistakes; other times, they reveal that a candidate wasn't entirely truthful.
For example, asking only people of a certain race about their financial histories or criminal records is evidence of discrimination.
Depending on where you live, there may be ways to conceal your criminal record from background checks, such as through expungement or sealing. These processes and eligibility requirements vary by jurisdiction, so it is best to contact an expungement or sealing attorney in your state to see your eligibility.
If a criminal background check is conducted but doesn't relate to the nature of the job, the applicant might make a legal claim for discrimination or argue that the information obtained cannot be used when making hiring decisions.
