Our consumer attorneys fight against false reporting provided by employment background check companies. Did a Cisive background report cost you a job? We can help.
Cisive is a consumer reporting agency that provides employment screening and verifications for large healthcare, transportation, financial, and tech businesses.
When you are applying for a job that uses Cisive as its background check provider, what is included will depend on the type of job and what that company would like to know. Cisive provides background screening, drug screening, and ongoing license monitoring.
A background check from Cisive may include but is not limited to the following:
- Social Security verification
- Fingerprinting
- Employment verification
- Financial Screening
- Criminal history
- Education verification
- Global background checks
When Cisive or your potential employer notifies you that information in your background report could prevent you from getting the job, you have rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that protect you. Cisive must ensure that the information in your report is accurate and up-to-date.
- You are entitled to a free copy of your Cisive background report.
- The employer must give you the contact information of the background check company, in this case, Cisive.
- You should also receive a summary of your rights under the FCRA.
- You have the right to dispute any inaccurate information on your Cisive background check.

Always keep a record of conversations you have with Cisive. Note the date and times, who you spoke with, and what you spoke about.

Cisive will have 30 days to look into your dispute. They will need to verify the information that they have is accurate. If they cannot verify the false information, they will need to remove it from your background report. When trying to get employment, 30 days can be a long time to wait for Cisive to correct your background report. If you are filing a dispute, it can be helpful to let the employer know what is wrong with the background check and show them documents that prove it is wrong. Unfortunately, that does not mean they will secure the job for you. If you have lost out on a job or promotion due to errors in a Cisive background check, you may have a case and be able to sue.
