Background Check Process
At NSBE, the safety and well-being of our members, especially our youth, are a top priority. To ensure a secure environment, all adults serving as advisors, volunteers, or chaperones for NSBE Jr. chapters are required to complete a background check. Follow the steps below to learn more about the process and how to get started.
Who Needs a Background Check?
If you are an adult advisor, volunteer, or chaperone supporting a NSBE Jr. chapter, a background check is mandatory. This ensures we maintain a safe and positive experience for all participants.
Before You Begin: Create a Free NSBE Account
Before submitting your background check request, please create a free NSBE account if you don’t already have one. While membership is not required for advisors, volunteers, or chaperones, having an account is essential so we can update your background check status once the process is complete.
Background Check Process:
Complete the Background Check Request Form
- Start by filling out the Background Check Request Form
- This form allows us to gather the necessary information to initiate your background check.
NSBE Membership Team Submits Request To Hire Image
- Once we receive your form, the NSBE Membership Team will submit your information to our background check provider, Hire Image, within 2-4 business days.
- You will then receive an email from Hire Image with a link to complete the process and submit the $14 payment.
Complete the Process via Hire Image
- Follow the link in the Hire Image email to finalize your background check and submit payment.
- After your payment is processed, Hire Image will complete the background check within 24-48 hours.
Receive Notification & NSBE Account Update
- Once your background check is complete, Hire Image will notify you directly with the results.
- The NSBE Membership Team will also update your NSBE account to reflect your background check status.
How Long is the Background Check Valid?
Your background check is valid for up to five years, making it easier for you to stay involved with NSBE Jr. programs over time.
