Is anyone using fingerprint services as a component of criminal background screening? Also are there any companies asking/requiring candidates to pay for background screening?

I am not sure what a "fingerprinting" service could provide as part of a pre-employment background check. I would imagine that any of the reputable background check firms - with their access to national, state and county criminal databases - could provide better information more cost effectively than any kind of "fingerprinting" service. Frankly, I've never heard of such a thing.

I have also never heard of candidates paying for their own background checks and am not sure if it's even legal or illegal to do so. My take on it is that only the most desperate persons seeking employment would pay for it and the rest would tell you to go and stick it up your fingerprint.

At our company we only do fingerprinting when someone disagrees with the background check results and we so it though the state police.
