Background checks verify a candidate’s personal and professional records, ensuring their qualifications, employment history, and criminal records (if applicable) meet organizational standards.
Why Background Check is Correct:
This process confirms the accuracy of the information provided by the candidate and minimizes risks to the organization.
Eliminating Incorrect Options:
A. Resume screening: Involves reviewing resumes to shortlist candidates but does not confirm records.
C. Behavioral interview: Evaluates behavioral traits, not factual records.
D. Employment investigation: This term is less commonly used and may imply a deeper, often internal, investigation.
