When a customer engineer tells recruiter that he’s a SWE, does it work? What does show on background check?
Why? Your experience doing whatever is way more important than the title. Make sure whatever you submit for your background check is correct though and matches what would be returned from the background check. What you have on your initial CV is not as important, and there are valid reasons to have a bit of creative leeway there.
It DOES show up and in fact the title you report and the title that comes back if there is a discrepancy, it shows up in the report, whether it is looked at or not depends on the company. Telling from my own experience - I told the title as Software Engineer and the company had Software Engineer III in the title, it showed up in the report as discrepancy (generally you can see it in the portal of HireRight) but ofcourse wasnt a problem for me.
Official role name for CE can be a bunch of different things depending on jurisdiction. Mine said Sales Developer III for awhile.
Your title will show up if they look hard enough
Thanks.. so the standard background check will show?
No one here will be able to tell you for sure
