QUESTION 7 OF 35

Are you willing to complete a full background check?

As with many companies in the industry, IBM takes the privacy and protection of their customer's sensitive and confidential information very seriously. Therefore, they, and most companies in the IT and IT Services industry, need to be very cautious about who they hire and take appropriate vetting measures. So, IBM's recruiters advise you "verify your information and conduct relevant and appropriate legally permitted pre-employment and eligibility verification checks, as well as to assess your skills, qualifications, and experience." Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any background check they require.

"I am happy to comply with any background check required. My record is clean, and I have a strong credit history. I do not participate in drug use, either. If you hire me for this role with IBM, I will maintain a clean record."

"Yes, I can certainly complete a full background check. I should disclose that I have a mark on my record from about eight years ago for a DUI. I can still travel and no longer have restrictions on my driver's license."

"I have no problem with that. Just out of curiosity, what does the background check entail? Other than a criminal background check, do you check other things, like credit scores? If so, will a soft check impact my credit score?"
