All of our candidates must pass a criminal record check and education verification. Is there any reason why you would not be comfortable with this?
"That is a great step in the process, and there will be no issues with me participating in this. I am happy to provide any supporting documents to help along the way."
"No problem. I'm also happy to provide references or documentation you may need in addition to the background and education checks."
"I do have a mark on my criminal record from a few years ago. If you can review and still accept me as a candidate, I would be happy to continue the interview process with you."
"I am happy to do any background check or references you'd like. There is nothing in my background that will hinder my ability to be successfully on-boarded."
"You are welcome to conduct a background check on me. I will disclose upfront that I have a DUI on my record from 2009. This mark does not affect my ability to travel for work, and I no longer have any restrictions on my drivers' license."
"Rest assured; I will pass any background check that you have for me. I have worked with vulnerable persons such as children, and the elderly, for the bulk of my career. There has never been an issue present."
Background checks are widespread in many industries. If you are keen for the position, you much comply fully with their onboarding process. Show that you are cooperative. If there are any marks in your history, this is the exact time to disclose them.
"Yes, I am happy to comply with any background checks required. My record is clean."
