Retail companies have been observed to opt for address, employment and negative database checks in their employee background verification package. In addition, there are very few retailers that have opted for education checks. Of the most preferred checks, address checks have been opted by almost even retailer while the frequency of employment checks is little lower as a result of college placements and recruitment of freshers.

Checks within employee background verification process can be broken down to various levels. For instance, address checks can be conducted on previous, permanent and current addresses. Similarly, employment checks can be conducted on a specified number of previous employments. As always, it is upon the retailer, or any other client for that matter, as to what level does it want a particular check to be conducted.

As can be seen above, along with the realization of importance of employees' background check, it is equally necessary to identify the risks and the consequent requirements unique to a particular industry. Only with such an understanding will it be possible to pick the appropriate checks.
