HireRight is a global company that provides employment screening and background check services to businesses. Its primary customers are employers, ranging from small businesses to nearly half of the Fortune 100, who use the service to vet job candidates and current employees. The company creates detailed reports by verifying a candidate's employment and education history, searching criminal records, examining credit history, and conducting drug screenings. HireRight compiles this sensitive data by contacting former employers and educational institutions and accessing public records. The collection of such comprehensive personal information poses significant privacy risks; errors in a report, such as outdated or mixed records, could unjustly cost an individual a job offer and damage their professional reputation. To protect themselves, individuals should be cautious about the information shared on applications and are entitled under laws like the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to review their reports and dispute any inaccuracies they find.
