The University of New Hampshire strives to provide a safe work environment. A pre-employment review of a candidate for employment is done to comply with pertinent laws, promote a safe work environment, and to protect the University's assets, including its employees, students, property, and information.
All background check requests are submitted using the online UNH Background Check Request Form:
- The initial job posting will include a statement regarding the requirement for a background review.
- The hiring department completes and submits the background check request online.
- Human Resources reviews all requests. Approved requests will be submitted to the background check vendor.
- The applicant is sent an email from the vendor with a link to submit the information required to process the background check request.
- Refusal on the part of a finalist to authorize a background review will make the individual ineligible for employment.
- The vendor will send the completed reports to Human Resources upon the completion of the verification process.
- If there is no record of criminal convictions, the HR coordinator will send an email to the hiring department to confirm that they may move forward with the hiring process.
- If there is potentially disqualifying information the HR Partner will communicate results to the hiring department on set criteria as according to policy.
