Google asks for SSN for background checks and whatnot.

I guess. I always thought b/g checks are done via third party but I don't recall being asked for SSN during that step. It's been a while so I guess I am not remembering right. Thanks.

  • You're definitely asked for a social security number for a background check because it allows for more accurate data. You want to pull the background for the correct person, after all.

SSN and proof of citizenship are required for all US companies to employ someone. It's not just background checks.
