You should run a background check before scheduling an interview, as to not waste your time.

When you almost select the candidate last check should be background verification.

When you are satisfied with the technical and people skills of the person through multiple rounds, background checks can be strictly optional.

Having multiple short term employment durations previously, inabilty to justify the reasons for leaving the company and slightest of doubts on the relieving letter can be great cases for a background check.

Typically it is best to do it just before the HR round and after technical rounds. Doing a background check just before handing the offer/agreement is not recommended.

In my opinion, first thing you have to do as a hiring manager is" background check " why : in order to exclude those who are inappropriate, and filter those who matching job's requirements.
