Using Your Credit Report
Why does it take 3-5 business days to get my results?
MyBackgroundCheck.com conducts hands-on county searches, in most cases. This means that individuals access county court records across the nation. The extra time for this service helps to insure that only the most accurate information is reported.

How does this process work?
  • Employers, property managers and landlords point applicants to MyBackgroundCheck.com to obtain their own background check, credit report, etc.
  • The applicant purchases the background check and receives a “Certificate” containing a unique number, and a password chosen by them.
  • The applicant supplies the employer or landlord with the certificate, allowing them to access and verify the completed report online.
  • The employer, property manager or landlord views the background check report online and makes an INSTANT and FREE decision based on the report and their hiring guidelines.

What is the benefit to the employers, property managers or landlords?
The two biggest issues with doing background checks are time and cost. MyBackgroundCheck.com eliminates both of these concerns by giving employers the same background checks they currently pay and wait for only it is now FREE and INSTANT for them. The applicant pays for the check and does all of the work in ordering it and supplying access to the completed report.

What is the benefit to applicants?
Applicants can literally get hired faster by eliminating the wait for a background check through employers. They also demonstrate a proactive and aggressive posture towards getting the job by saving the employer time and money. Your background check certificate can be sent to and viewed by as many prospective employers or landlords as you wish. It can be emailed, faxed, copied or mailed. We encourage you to include it with all of your applications and resumes.

Is this legal?
Absolutely. There is nothing illegal about an applicant supplying employers with their own prepared background check. It is much the same as giving them a letter of reference.

How do employers know this background check is legitimate?
The background checks performed by MBC are the same exact background check that thousands of employers and corporations currently purchase across the country. Many of these are Fortune 100 and 500 companies. Since the applicant has no access to alter or modify the report it is as secure and accurate as these other background checks.
[ Top ]

 

How long does this take?
Normally just 3 to 5 business days, depending upon what type of background searches are requested.
[ Top ]

 

How accurate is the information?
All information is gathered directly through the most accurate source. Criminal records are obtained directly from the county courts where the convictions are filed and employment verifications and other checks are conducted directly with the employers or agencies.
[ Top ]

 

Who can see the background checks?
Only those employers who have been provided an access certificate by the applicant. The certificate contains a unique number and a password chosen by the applicant.
[ Top ]

 

Can applicants use the same report to apply with others?
Yes. The same paid-for background check allows the applicant to hand out as many certificates as desired to prospective employers or landlords.
[ Top ]

 

Can we customize the application insert order form with our specific background check requirements?
Yes. Many employers have their own specific requirements and the form can be custom tailored for you.
[ Top ]

 

What if we want to order our own? Can we use your company?
Yes, through our parent company Pre-employ.com. By ordering your own background checks on applicants, you have a myriad of federal and state laws you need to comply with. When an applicant orders their own and gives it to you, you don’t need to worry about the laws governing background checks.
[ Top ]

 

What if the applicants do not have a computer or access to one or do not have a credit card?
They can fax it to us or mail it to us and pay by cashier’s check or money order. The applicant order form gives them specific instructions.

Are there any costs to us, the employers?
No, there are no costs to you at all.
