What do I need to do if I decide not to hire an applicant?

If you decide not to offer employment to an applicant due to part of or in whole of their background check, you must carry out the Adverse Action process. This process consists of sending a letter to the applicant informing them that they will not be hired by your company due to results found in their background check. The applicant has the right to contact the provider to dispute claims within 7-10 calendar days of receiving notice.
