Is the DOB necessarily required to do a Background check?
|
I went on an interview recently and I signed the disclosures to do background check however no where on those forms did it say to include my DOB. They have my name and S.S#. Isn't that more than enough? I got a call today from my potential new employer that they need my DOB to do my background check however I did not get the call from the actual third party company they hire to do the background checks requesting this information.
So to summarize should I give it to them or are they just trying to find out how old I am to base it on whether they will give me the job.
Additional Details
Thank You for your responses MOST were very helpful. I just had that little doubt b/c it's true they are not allowed to ask for dob during interviews but I wasn't too sure if they could after the interview.

It is a bit of a catch 22 isn't it? It's illegale to ask about age, and martial status during interviews but in order to get the job you need the background check that exposes all. I am sure they really don't care about your age. Its really about protecting their assets, employees and clients. Overall I think its a good thing it makes things safer for you too. It should weed out possible cooky co workers.. |

I believe it is just another way to prove you are who you say you are. There may be many Jane Does out there, but the list is much smaller when you add DOB. But, in our day and age, and so many ways people are defrauded; it would be ridiculous NOT to check into someone's background. Be honest, then you will have no regrets. |

You could probably use a SSN (Social Security Number). |

Look at it this way. There are almost 300 million people in this country. You think there's more than one Pedro Gonzalez,or Bill Smith in this nation?Your date of birth and Social Security number help narrow it down and NO they don't have to loet you speak to the company doing the background check. You signed the agreement. Didn't you read it first? |
