How background checks work

HackerOne partners with Sterling Talent Solutions to conduct all global background checks. For all countries, identification document verification and the maximum criminal background check allowed by law are performed. Countries where it’s illegal to perform criminal background checks, unfortunately, won’t be eligible to participate in HackerOne Clear programs.

For finders based in the United States, these investigations are performed:

Investigation	Details
Social Security Number Trace and Identity Verification	Identifies residential address history and aliases.
Country Criminal Records Check	Identifies addresses and jurisdictions, including felony and misdemeanor criminal records.
State Criminal Records Check	Identifies addresses and jurisdictions, including felony and misdemeanor criminal records in Puerto Rico and 46 states.
Federal Criminal Records Check	Identifies addresses and jurisdictions, including felony and misdemeanor criminal records.
Enhanced Nationwide Records Check	Searches nationwide databases to identify potential jurisdictions in which the applicant may have worked, lived, gone to school, or committed a crime.
