Other than military and law enforcement peeps (who I assume go through extensive background checks) who here has had a background check and to what level have you had it?
It's relatively rare in Canada to do a credit reference as a background check but I was recently asked for one. It's in addition to a police check and other background checks. It's not so much that I have a problem with it (cleaning up credit as we speak) per se....it's just I've never seen it done up here. I hope it's not the only thing they consider when hiring someone.
