Who Uses a Background Check?

Who uses a background check?

Background checks can be used for many different things. We find our Whitepages customers who use background checks are trying to learn more about the people around them and in their community. You can learn more about your neighbor or check out the background of someone you met online.

Background checks are also used to help keep people safe. It can be helpful to know the background of someone when meeting a new date from Tinder or staying in a vacation home like AirBnB. With Whitepages background checks, customers can search for criminal information and phone/address history. We also encourage customers to check out someone’s social profiles to gain more insight into who they really are.

Who can use a Whitepages background check?

When starting a new job, it is customary for an employer to do a background check on a newly hired employee. This report can include your education, previous jobs, addresses, and criminal history. However, a Whitepages background check is not FCRA compliant. This means the information found within our site is for personal use only. Users cannot use our site to make any housing, credit, employment, or insurance decisions.

So if you need to search, find, and know about the people in your network and community, you can rely on Whitepages.
