[quote=Anonymous]OP, there are HUGE risks to doing background checks before making an offer. you can choose to make the [b]start date[/b] contingent upon the results, or more clearly advise the candidate not to quit/move until the check is done, but you have to make the offer (which represents the hire/no hire decision) first. but honestly, in most professional services companies, most checks are fine. thanks to the PP who posted th eEEOC info on arrest records -- this is a big issue right now and you absolutely should not use arrests in decisions. also, just to be clear, there are no laws against ASKING candidate for information about age/race/gender, etc, but you can't fail to hire them because of those protected categories; obviously, it is a lot easier to make an argument that you didn't hire someone because of her age when she can show that you asked about in the interview. so no law, but don't do it (i just hate when ppl say it is illegal to ask.)
