Your customized version of this sheet can be part of your application packet. It tells applicants that they are subject to a background investigation. Hopefully, this notice will work as a deterrent to undesirable applicants.

Dear Applicant:

Thank you for choosing XYZ Company to help you meet your employment and career goals. We appreciate the time you are taking to complete our standard application process.

XYZ is committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for clients and their families, as well as offering all employees the security of knowing their coworkers are as trustworthy, safety oriented, and drug-free as they are.

In order to meet these safety & security goals, in addition to requiring that all potential new employees are tested for illegal drugs, XYZ also conducts a thorough background screening. If you are considered for employment, please note that some or all of the following employment screenings will be performed:

XYZ will conduct a CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK.

XYZ will contact PREVIOUS EMPLOYERS & EDUCATION OFFICIALS.

XYZ will verify your PROFESSIONAL LICENSE & CREDENTIALS (if appropriate).

XYZ will check your DRIVING RECORD (if your job involves driving a company or private vehicle).

XYZ may request additional levels of background screening when appropriate.

If there are any issues in your past that need to be resolved before XYZ initiates this background screening, please discuss them with us or let us know that you are not ready for us to complete this essential process. We will hold all applications for 30 days.

Again, thank you for considering XYZ.
