Unintended to hire
Is it illegal to do a background check on somebody even if they don't plan on hiring them. I thought that you have to hire first before doing your background check unless you don't pass it. So they did my background check but it took a little long so they gave my job to someone else which I believe they never really wanted to hire me.

Companies can do a background check before hire and it can take any where from a week or two depending on the job you are applying for

Hi, Jose! I am not qualified to give legal advice, although I would advise you to consult an employment lawyer about it if you feel like your rights were violated in some way. Most lawyers offer their first consultation for free, so make sure to ask about that if you decide to reach out to one. Best of luck!
Yes but if they offer you the job pending background check is different. Also I found out the move from someone to to thAt another department to the one I applied. What about equal employment opportunity and the fcra rules.
