Offers are usually contingent on stuff like verifying your education, current job, etc. Has anyone (or do you know anyone) who accepted an offer but have it rescinded due to other stuff like background checks? Related to this, when do you stop talking to other companies? After you sign the offer? After they complete all contingencies so the offer is now real? After you start?
The hiring company doesn't tell the other finalists they weren't selected until the day you start, so seems fair to keep your own options open until then too.
Usually that happens if you have a felony.
What about minor felonies?
I don’t have any statistics to answer your question (maybe someone else does). It is a risk, if it is still a matter of public record. Could be worth hiring an attorney to attempt to remove it.
Yes, usually lying about degree or former employer.
This happened to someone I knew. Said he had a degree when he didn't actually have one.
I got a job by swooping in and grabbing a role for which my colleague got revoked for lying about degree. Knew her offer and everything. Candy from a baby.
I knew someone who got their offer rescinded from tinder because they didn’t complete their last year of school. Got kicked out due to bad grades
How do they even do this for foreign degrees?
They probably wouldn’t make the hire in the first place if having a degree was important and they come from a school that couldn’t be verified.
These background check companies are lazy. I was asked by then for more pay stubs (over a 10y period of time) so they could verify the start and end date of my employment. We had gone through 2 acquisitions and i had provided then a written statement by my employer and a phone number they could call but they want ME to waste time and hunt down 10yo pay stubs. Eventually was cleared but it pisses me of that they get payed to do a job and i end up being asked to waste a ton of time on it
I had a guy I hired who failed background. HR handled it from there. The offer was rescinded.
