When a hiring decision uses a consumer report and the candidate is not hired, what must be provided to the candidate?

• A. Notify the individual and provide your name and address
• B. The full contents of the report
• C. The names of the interviewers
• D. A copy of the employer's policies

Answer: (A)

When a hiring decision is based on information in a consumer report and the candidate isn’t hired, the person must be told about the adverse decision and given a way to review the report. The option that fits this obligation is to notify the individual and provide a contact point (name and address) so they can request the report or dispute its contents. The full contents of the report aren’t automatically provided, the names of interviewers aren’t required, and a copy of the employer’s policies isn’t the requested disclosure in this context. This setup protects the candidate’s right to review the information used in the decision.
