进行背景调查是一种标准的招聘程序，可帮助雇主在延长聘用机会之前对候选人的个人和职业经历有更多的了解。

从背景调查中发现的最常见信息包括过去的地址、以前工作的地点和日期以及犯罪历史。然而，许多企业还会审查候选人的信用记录以选择职位，作为一种额外的筛选方法，以帮助评估候选人进行财务盗窃或欺诈的可能性。

根据发表在《国际甄选与评估杂志》上的一项研究，与过去没有财务问题的员工相比，有财务问题历史的员工从事工作场所不当行为的可能性几乎是其两倍。

Conducting a background check is a standard hiring procedure to help employers gain additional insight on a candidate’s personal and professional history before extending an employment offer.

The most common information uncovered from a background check includes past addresses, location and dates of previous employment, and criminal history. However, many businesses also review a candidate’s credit history for select positions as an additional screening method to help assess a candidate’s potential to commit financial theft or fraud.

According to a study published in the International Journal of Selection and Assessment, employees with a history of financial concerns are almost twice as likely to engage in workplace misconduct, compared to those without past financial concerns.
