Candidates Background Check Process

As other Engineering firms, PSFEG will conduct third-party pre-employment screening process to determine the background and identity of a paid, consultant or similar position applicant (ADA & FCRA compliant). Following is a brief detail;

• Psychometric testing
• Civil Lawsuit Background Check
• Drug and Alcohol Screen
• DMV & traffic records
• Medical records and examination
• Personal references
• Credit records (Fund Management Sensitive Positions)
• Criminal records (such as DUI)
• Academic records
• Employment history
• Workers’ compensation record
• Other verifications as necessary

In addition to the above, a third-party process may compile a report regarding

• Candidate's character
• General reputation
• Personal characteristics
• Mode of living

This also would include the permissible purpose of the report; the name, address, telephone number of the reporting agency; and the nature and scope of the investigation requested.

Obtaining a consumer report for screening is regulated by the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), California’s Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act, and the California Consumer Credit Reporting Agency Act.
