What is in an ESR Background Check?

- Credit Reports
- Social Security Number Trace
- Criminal History
- Civil Records
- Driving Record
- Social Media Screening
- Verifications – employment, education, references

The type of job you are seeking and what the employer requires will determine what searches are done for a background check and what other types of pre-employment screening are necessary.

What If My ESR Background Check Was Wrong?
