Pre-employment credit reports
A pre-employment credit report shows a candidate's public financial history — tax liens, accounts in collection, and bankruptcies — for roles with financial or fiduciary responsibility. Starting from $8 per check.
How to order
- Credit reports require a one-time setup before they can be added to orders — the dashboard walks you through it
- Your business verification must be complete; some business types require an additional site inspection — we'll tell you if it applies
- Once set up, toggle Credit report in the add-on grid like any other add-on
What the candidate provides
Nothing extra beyond the standard application — their written authorization is collected with the invite, as required for credit reports.
What results show
- Public records: bankruptcies, tax liens, accounts in collection
- Credit history relevant to financial responsibility
- Employment credit reports do not include a credit score
Limitations and legal notes
- Some states and cities restrict or ban employment credit checks — know your local rules before ordering
- Use credit history only where it's relevant to the role's financial duties
FAQs
Why can't I add a credit report to my order?▼
Credit reports require completed business verification and a one-time setup. If the add-on is locked, finish the setup steps in your dashboard or contact support.
Does ordering a credit report affect the candidate's credit score?▼
Employment credit checks are soft inquiries and don't affect the candidate's score.
