INDUSTRY NEWS

Here are some recent news about background screening in the US:

  • The Biden administration is considering a ban on the use of facial recognition technology in background screening. The administration is concerned about the accuracy of facial recognition technology and the potential for discrimination.
  • The FTC has fined a number of companies for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The FTC has fined companies for failing to provide accurate information to consumers, for failing to get consumers' consent before running background checks, and for failing to take steps to protect consumers' privacy.
  • A number of states have passed laws to regulate the use of background screening. These laws typically require employers to get consent from job applicants before running background checks, to provide job applicants with a copy of the results of their background checks, and to take steps to protect consumers' privacy.
  • The use of background screening is on the rise. The use of background screening is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as employers seek to protect themselves from fraud and workplace violence.

These are just a few of the latest developments in background screening in the US. As the use of background screening continues to grow, it is important for employers to be aware of the latest regulations and best practices.
