It’s the candidate's responsibility, not the employer's, to notify the screening company of a discrepancy in their background check. If a candidate disputes their background check, employers receive a dispute notification from the screening company. Adhere to legal requirements, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) in the United States, by waiting a reasonable time before taking adverse action against your candidate. Employers don’t need to hold the position open until the dispute is finished. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve accurate and unbiased background check results.
