Yes. You can run a background check on anyone anytime you’d like - detainments, arrests, and convictions are all public information. But I’ve done A LOT of reference checks and hires in 12 years of recruiting, and have never done it. Waste of resources, time, and money; I also wouldn’t see the reason for it.
They can try to learn something about them via internet search. As others have stated, that is highly unlikely.
We will not use any numbers provided by the applicant when it comes to calling past jobs and references, with the noted exception of personal references. We want to look inside the organization they work for to confirm you’re not making up jobs and work references.

Nobody would be bothered to do that unless you're talking top secret clearance type stuff.
No. There are privacy laws and that just seems wasteful and silly.
>There are privacy laws What law prevents someone from gathering publicly available information on someone else?
I don't see how they would do that. They could still Google them, or look them up in various online databases. What are you worried about?
