FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are civil checks and why are they important in background screening?
Civil checks are a type of background screening that examines an individual’s involvement in non-criminal legal actions, such as disputes heard in civil courts. These checks are crucial because they reveal a person’s history of legal issues like bankruptcy, liens, civil judgments, and lawsuits, which may not appear in a criminal background check. They provide insight into a candidate’s reliability and financial responsibility, especially important for roles involving financial management or decision-making authority.
How do civil background checks differ from criminal background checks?
While criminal background checks focus on an individual’s criminal history, civil checks concentrate on non-criminal legal disputes. Criminal checks reveal convictions, arrests, and incarcerations, pertinent to assessing a candidate’s criminal past. In contrast, civil checks uncover lawsuits, bankruptcies, and legal judgments, which can indicate a candidate’s financial stability, litigation history, and overall reliability. These distinctions make each type of check valuable for different aspects of a comprehensive background screening.
What information can be uncovered through a civil check?
A civil check can reveal various legal records, including:
- Bankruptcy filings, which show financial distress or insolvency.
- Liens and judgments, indicating outstanding debts or obligations.
- Divorce records and custody battles, which might be relevant for certain sensitive positions.
- Small claims disputes, revealing past conflicts or litigations involving the individual.
- This information can provide valuable context about a candidate’s character, especially in roles requiring high financial or ethical standards.
