EDIT:The background check is free. They are saying that the possible data/information I will learn in the interview is valuable and costly and want to make sure I’m okay before being interviewed
I applied for a job really good pay for the type of work.
Got an email saying they would like to interview me. But since they will be providing company/secrets data that is costly. They can’t take any chances and would like me to submit a background check myself. Then email them the results.
They said it will be my background history credit score and criminal background.
I have no problem submitting all that since I have nothing to hide. I’ve just always been ask to do it after hiring or right before they say I have the job. And the company usually does it with the info I give them.
Is it normal for them to ask me to do it and send it before any interview has been set. All communication has been indeed/email no face to face or call yet.
