ALL ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UC SAN DIEGO (excluding UC San Diego Health)

Update: Talent Support Services Resuming In-Person Services
Note: This revised campus notice includes corrected links to Talent Support Services request forms.

I am pleased to share that Talent Support Services has resumed providing in-person services, including Live Scan background checks. A division of Human Resources, Talent Support Services facilitates background checks, online reference checks, and skills assessments as part of the recruitment and hiring process.  

How to Request Background Checks, Reference Checks and Skills Assessments  

Live Scan is the preferred background check method for all staff positions. Results are typically reported within a week, although there are occasional delays. If Live Scan appointments are unavailable or an applicant is unable to come to campus for an appointment, hiring managers may alternatively request a Consumer Report. Background checks for student employment and volunteer positions should continue to use Consumer Reports unless Live Scan is a contractual requirement.  

All requests for background checks, online reference checks, and skills assessments must be submitted via the following online forms, which can be found on Blink:
  • Background Check Request Form (Online Form)
  • SkillSurvey Reference Check Request Form (PDF)
  • Skills Assessment Request Form (PDF)
Upon receiving a request form, Talent Support Services staff will send release forms to applicants via DocuSign and will schedule in-person appointments with candidates via email.  

Visiting the Talent Support Services Office  

In accordance with current campus health and safety guidelines, visitors to Talent Support Services should wear a face covering while inside the office. We currently have reduced appointment availability and are offering extended hours Tuesday through Thursday.   

Campus Location  

Talent Support Services is located on the second floor of Torrey Pines Center South. The address is 10280 N. Torrey Pines Rd., Suite 280, La Jolla, CA 92037.
