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?

I’ve never seen HR use data brokers. I would think that could open them to a lot of risk, finding out things that aren’t legal to know about someone before saying yes. All of mine have used actual background check agencies
Thank you for the reply:)
The background check agency probably uses data brokers, though. They would just only pass along what they are allowed to.
If one isn’t privy to those records, there’s little risk?
Can you rephrase the question?
Who’s going to know what HR had in their files, other than HR and whomever instituted a policy requiring things in HR files?
