How Long

[tmeon]

How long do most agencies keep an applicants information, after they withdraw from the employment process?

[acreature]

2 yrs here. Unless you're DQ'd... then it's gone right there, right then.

What do they do with the information? Shed it??

What don't you want people to find out about? BTW: 5 years here.

It is not that I am hiding something or I don't what people to find something out. I was just curious. I am currently going through a background investigation with a state agency. After, meeting with my BI and him reviewing all of my information, he noticed that I had applied to another agency(which I did not get hired), He then told me, that if everything was ok, with that process and if I was not dq'ed for something. I would be ok. So, I was just being curious to see if that agency would still have any information to share.

When you fill out any application you will need to remeber that any agency you apply to may, and probably will have access to all previous applications, background packets and any other information that a previous department has attained during a pre employment investigaiton.
