Hi, I recently accepted an offer to join Google and had a few questions about the background check process with Hireright: 1. How long does the “review” period take once the Hireright has been completed? 2. Why is Hireright only checking my previous 2 employers? I called Hireright to ask about this and they said I either didn’t fill out the initial application properly (I’m 100% sure I listed all 5 companies I’ve worked for), or Google only cares about the past two 3. How strict are they on *exact* job title accuracy. I have like 3 different titles in my current role and I listed the one I thought they might pull from our current employer. Turns out they ended up picking the title that is listed in our internal HCM system. Is this going to be an issue? The job already mentions “Complete-Date Verified” on the report #backgroundcheck #hireright #google
1. Don’t know 2. Most likely google only cares about most recent 3. No. Because hireright is Phillipino workers, they respond very black and white. So anything other than an exact match gets flagged as yellow, then the company approves it manually. Have done this many times and never had an issue where this became a genuine problem. Exact title isn’t important, what’s important is that You accurately represented your self in so much as you were trying to get the job
I think if your employment date is good, ur fine unless you have some crazy discrepancies.
Hireright evaluation depends on employer ,some employers prefers to verify last 5 years experience,some will go further more . They might bring title discrepancy in report if title filled on your background application and title from background verification are different however most employer ignore that one unless there is a big difference in title ,for example someone put director but actual role is senior engineer.
How many past jobs does google verify?
How long after signing offer did you get background check?
About a week after
Thank you! Waiting on my background check right now!
HireRight are absolutely garbage, lazy piece of crap that deserves 0 companies to contract them to conduct BC. Their "discovery" people won't spend 1 more second to help you verify your records
Please help me with the duration of your past 2 employments. (within how many years in the past) I heard they check all jobs within past 7 years, is this true?

So Hireright is incompetent for the most part. They went back 2 employers for me as well despite me providing references upto 10 yrs and 4 employers. Expect it to last about 6-7 business days. You can check the progress on the Hireright portal and contact their support to guide them to contact the right people if required Don’t worry about the wrong titles, as long as you’re not an axe murderer out on bail, you should be ok. You cleared the interviews and am sure they didn’t spend even a second on your exact title. Relax and welcome to google!
My title was wrong lol it was like “software architect” or something and the company was “Amazon Gaming Labs” I was so confused lol
What about a discrepancy such as sr program manager and program manager (technical title was the latter). Team didn’t have levels (company was small), and I scope of my role was much larger than entry title
