does anyone's company use hireright?
 

how detailed is that background check?

No clue about that company, but f/ my experience, the background check is usually calling your school(s) and verifying your degree, and just verifying that you in fact worked for the previous companies. Sometimes a credit check if the companyn wants it

can they get persons GPA and stuff too? I am just curious since a lot of applications ask for your gpa and I don't think many are honest about it.

I'd assume that they could. I was never asked about my GPA, but i volunteered it b/c it was good. Even if you had a shitty gpa, be honest. Its more about the fact you completed a degree than anything.

they assign you a background investigator and they coordinate a single-scope background investigation up to 7 to 10 years, some areas your entire life. depending on the security clearance your position requires, they'll dig and dig for whatever dirt you have.

if you're worried about it, don't lie.

background checks are bogus. blackballing people is one of the worst things about civil society.

what incentive would there be to do the right thing? cant give everyone second, third, fourth, unlimited chances in life

My father is an investigator for USIS, a company that does background investigations on people who are looking to get into a government position. Do you have any specific questions as to what they check? I can get some answers for you.

be honest. problem solved
