Why are they checking my background?
The specific reasons for background checks will be disclosed by your potential employer or property management company before obtaining your authorization, but generally speaking, organizations perform background checks and drug tests for the safety of their workplaces and communities. Companies may also want to ensure that you and those with whom you will work or reside meet the expected qualifications. The information you’ll be asked to provide may depend on the organization. The information you may be asked to provide by an employer can depend upon the skills, licensure, and experience required for the role to which you have applied.

“Eligible” means that the returned report meets the employer’s or property’s criteria for hiring or housing.
“Decisional” means that the employer has configured the results in the background check to require additional review by the employer or the property management company. First Advantage does not have anything to do with the employers’ or property management companies’ criteria used to make their decisions. If you have questions about your background check results, please contact the employer or property manager.
