Who Runs a CRD Background Check?

Hi all - I had a quick question on a background check for a PE fund I have accepted an offer with in New York. If I had listed past series / FINRA registrations on my resume, but they aren't required by the fund, will they still run a CRD check or require my current registration? Not sure if CRD is typical for PE or anywhere else outside of banking.
