Arrests & Criminal Background Checks

Many applicants are surprised to find that they do have records when a criminal background check is conducted as part of a pre-employment screening. It is possible for a arrest in which a individual is released without charge to appear on a criminal records check. This charge will show up with, no disposition found, leaving employers to question whether this is an open case or a pending charge. It is essential for applicants to remain vigilant on their criminal records even if there was only an arrest and no charges. As this too can hurt their chances of getting the job they really want.
