Our goal is to hire the best people for the right positions! Therefore, we conduct a series of pre-employment assessments in order to evaluate the skills and abilities of potential associates. Depending on the job for which you are applying, testing may include a review of basic skills, role playing and computerized assessments.

Does GEICO conduct background checks as part of the hiring process?

Yes, as an applicant for a position with the GEICO Companies, we will conduct a routine background investigation. During which we will obtain information (a "Consumer Report") about your credit history, as permitted, as well as other information about your personal character. GEICO may also elect to obtain information about your character, general reputation and mode of living, through personal interviews with friends, neighbors and acquaintances (an "Investigative Consumer Report"). If we decide to order an Investigative Consumer Report, you will receive further notice regarding your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act within three days of the Investigative Consumer Report being ordered.

Why does GEICO look at credit history when making employment decisions?

We obtain information from criminal background checks and consumer credit reporting agencies in order to maintain federal compliance with the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. This federal act regulates how insurance companies operate in the United States and also prohibits persons convicted of certain crimes or severe financial situations from being considered for employment in the insurance industry.

What happens if I do not pass the credit history check?

If employment is denied either wholly or partly because of information in a Consumer Report, GEICO will advise you in writing and give you the name and address of the reporting agency making the Consumer Report, a copy of the Report and a copy of "A Summary of Your Rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act."

I have GEICO insurance. Do I have a better chance of getting hired?

No, it is the policy of GEICO to seek, employ, and assign the best-qualified employees in all of our offices. We are an equal opportunity employer.

Yes, the industry-leading training that our associates receive is paid.
