Do background checks to verify potential employees rely on profiles data brokers have compiled on them? Or do background checks rely on more direct means?

    Can you clarify if you’re looking at a field where background checks are mandatory (like security) or one where the employer is voluntarily running one? In the latter case, brokers are usually cheaper and more common, in the former it may be mandated to go through a specific government entity i.e. county/state/province law enforcement - often times that will be dictated by contracts with clients, sometimes laws.
