Background check

My employment at Colubrid is contingent on a background check.

I understand that in connection with my employment with Colubrid ("the Company"), the Company will use an outside agency to research and verify the information I have provided to the Company, including my personal background, character, professional standing, work history and qualifications.

This agency will provide a report to the Company. The Company uses PeopleSniffers, Inc., a consumer reporting agency, as an agent to perform background verifications.

I understand that PeopleSniffers, Inc. will obtain information it deems appropriate from various sources including, but not limited to, the following: consumer reporting agencies, employers, criminal conviction records, Department of Motor Vehicle records, military records, and school records. I authorize, without reservation, any individual, corporation or other private or public entity to furnish the Company and PeopleSniffers, Inc. all information about me.


Sheeeeeeesh. I think that last sentence might be giving even more permissions than I had to give to get a government "Top Secret" clearance a few years ago. Sigh. Have fun sniffing, guys.

Yep, working for financial institutions I've had to go through about three of those over the years. It's amazing how liberal the wording is.

We have to sign a code of conduct thing twice a year. Not signing means you can't work. So of course everyone signs. I don't even bother reading the thing. Companies have us by the b_lls.

Oddly enough, the bit that really creeps me out is the way they keep talking about the Company. Makes me feel like we're in a William Gibson story, or something.
