A background check or background vetting is the process of looking up and compiling criminal, commercial and financial history of an individual.
Vetting has become an integral process very often requested by employers on job candidates. This is especially used when the candidate is seeking a position that requires high security or a position of trust such as in a school, hospital, financial institution, airport, and government. Results of background vetting typically include past criminal history, employment verification, and credit history.
