Background Investigation Bureau (BIB) Background Checks

Background Investigation Bureau or BIB is a background check and pre-employment screening service. They provide background screening services for the following industries: education, parks agencies, non-profit organizations, volunteering, corporate businesses, grocery stores, and staffing agencies.

Background Investigation Bureau (BIB) provides a variety of searches and pre-employment screening services. Depending on the job or volunteer position you are applying for and what the employer requested your BIB report could contain any of the following:

Generally, you will sign an authorization form when applying for a job that allows the employer to run a background check. A background check should never be done without your permission.

BIB background check has an average turnaround time of 48 hours. This is according to a BIB brochure, for the AEGIS screening management software they provide.

Mistakes on BIB background reports for employment screening can be especially damaging. Even if you do not have a criminal history, a mix up with another person’s file can result in you being unemployed. You could even lose a job you already have if the employer is using ongoing monitoring services and they mistakenly report you as committing a new crime. Or perhaps, you have an old record that was expunged and the information is no longer allowed to be reported. All information reported by BIB should be accurate and up-to-date. If not, you have the right to dispute the errors and you may be able to sue in federal court.

In the event that an employer takes adverse action against you due to the information provided in your BIB background check there are rules that employers must follow.

The employer is required to give you a copy of the report and the contact information for the company that provided the report. They are also required to provide you with a summary of your rights under the FCRA.

Your rights under the FCRA also give you the right to dispute errors on your BIB background check.
