My question involves a background check in the State of: New York / Nevada
Hi I'm just wondering - where do MOST employers get their background check information? How do they conduct them? Do they do them through their local police department?
For example, I have a criminal record containing one arrest and one (misdemenor) conviction in the state of new york. When I run a background check with the state of new york it shows up, and when I run one with the fbi it shows up.
But to get my criminal record from the fbi I had to get my own fingerprints, submit them with an application, and wait 53 days.
Do employers get fbi records? Obviously they can't wait 53 days, so how do they do it? Because they dont have my fingerprints either.
In short, is my criminal record going to show up if I apply for a job in California, if it happened in new york 10+ years ago?
How do they get this information, without running a check with either the fbi or state of new york?
