Re: background check/privacy

An employer's refusal to accept a job application without you granting your consent to have them investigate your background is entirely legal.

What part of the constitution do you feel they are violating?

Re: background check/privacy

you are NOT entitled to any job, and the employer does have the right of discretion in whom they employ. Your failure to comply with the procedures of application permit the company to exclude you, unless there is form of discrimination which was used in their decision to exclude you.
