Id check with HR too to make sure its legit, but we had to have CRB check every few years, suppose it depends on your job if they had to run these every so often but having a CRB done a few years into employment isn't overly unusual.
But make sure with HR first.
Got an email today from a place called backcheck. Company is requesting a background check but been in job 3 years!
Seems a bit weird, I have nothing to hide but can't see why they would want to do it.
Anyone had something similar?
[DOD]Asprilla;24649121 said:I completed one of their checks this morning.
Just got an email saying my company blah blah has requested a background check with a link to an online form.
Will talk to boss / HR tomorrow see if it's legit
For what purpose though? Did your HR department request some information from you or that you supply info to this company?
I assume you didn't just respond to a random email asking for some info?
What exactly have they asked for, no one will say we will do a background check..they will specific what kind of check, such as CRB, SC, DV and so on...they also wouldn't ask this by email...check with your line manager and HR dept before making any reply.
