Can I See My Own Background Check Before a Job Interview?

Yes, you absolutely can — and should. Reviewing your own background check before a job interview is a smart way to stay prepared and in control of your job search. Whether you’re applying for your first position or aiming for a career move, understanding what a potential employer may see during the screening process can help you confidently present your best self.

At Confirmify, we make it easy for individuals to access their own background screening report using the same high standards trusted by employers across the country.

Why Check Your Background Report Before the Interview?

Taking a proactive approach can help you stand out in a competitive hiring market. Here’s how reviewing your background check in advance supports your success:

Reinforce Resume Accuracy
Your report provides a clear, verified snapshot of your employment and education history. Reviewing it helps you ensure that your resume aligns with the official record.
Prepare for Common Interview Questions
If a past job, credential, or event might come up during your interview, seeing it laid out in advance lets you approach those conversations with readiness and confidence.
Support Transparency and Confidence
Enter your interview with the assurance that everything a hiring manager sees is consistent with what you’ve shared — no surprises, just a seamless hiring experience.
