Background Check Information Requirements

Draft date: 30 October 2022

Overview

All offers of paid participation or unpaid official representation of the organisation at Purposeful Innovators (PI) are contingent upon clear results of a thorough background check. Background checks will be conducted on all volunteers and/or employees, as deemed necessary.

Background checks will include:

  • Prior Employment Verification: confirms applicant's employment with the listed companies, including dates of employment, position held and additional information available pertaining to performance rating, and reason for departure. This verification will be run on the past three employers or the previous five years, whichever comes first.
  • Personal and Professional References: calls/emails will be placed to individuals listed as references by the applicant.
  • Educational Verification: confirms the applicant's claimed educational institution, including the years attended and the degree/diploma received.
  • Criminal History: A Certificate of Good Conduct must be provided. The following factors will be considered for applicants with a criminal history:
    • The nature of the crime and its relationship to the position.
    • The time since the conviction.
    • The number (if more than one) of convictions.
    • Whether hiring, transferring or promoting the applicant would pose an unreasonable risk to the business, its employees or its customers and vendors.

 

Procedure

Candidates must complete a background check authorisation form and return it to Human Resources (HR). 

HR will order the background check upon receipt of the signed form, internal HR staff will conduct the checks. A designated HR representative will review all results.

The HR representative will notify the hiring manager regarding the results of the check. In instances where negative or incomplete information is obtained, the appropriate management and the director of Human Resources will assess the potential risks and liabilities related to the job's requirements and determine whether the individual should be hired. If a decision not to hire a candidate is made based on the results of a background check, there may be certain additional requirements that will be handled by Human Resources.

Background check information will be maintained in a file separate from employees' personnel files for a minimum of five years.

Purposeful Innovators Cic reserves the right to modify this policy at any time without notice.
