I've been a little uneasy about the background check. With 15+ years in the IT industry, I'm hopeful to receive an offer from Meta (Team match pending). How many years of experience will Meta verify during the background check? Also, I had a misdemeanor (Disturbance of the peace - fighting), but it was expunged 2 years before. Does anyone recall if Meta's background check includes questions about dismissed or expunged cases?
What is the location ?
Don’t worry you will be fine
Unless OP was involved in the insurrection. OP background checks are standard, you should be fine.
meta related posts never contain answers for the OP lmao. It’s always what did they ask in interview or for referrals or DMs. Thirsty mfs
Exactly, give the damn answer first or just say Idk before asking lol
🤣🤣
Mine came back in 2 days. I thought it was pretty light weight
Referral?
Does the background check show your job title?
A recruiter from Meta got in touch with me through LinkedIn. I'm looking forward to a potential team match, either in LA or the Bay Area.
You can forget about LA just to set your expectations. But good luck. The background check can take anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks because hire right is incompetent. While I don’t know for sure I wouldn’t worry all too much if that’s the only thing you’re worried about coming up.
I was recently hired at E4 and they let me know there were hardly any teams hiring from LA. My background check took one and a half weeks (due to them needing a W2 from one of my older jobs).
California and NY law (and I think most states now) prohibits an employer from inquiring about or considering expunged or dismissed cases. If a background check company reports an expunged record, that’d be grounds for a lawsuit Meta uses hireright. They’ll have their bum ass minions call the courts for each address you list to see if you have a criminal record there. The court won’t report an expunged record.
I unfortunately know all this from personal experience. Had one of those wrong time wrong place charges that was dismissed and sealed but still panicked that it’ll show up in a background check. It sometimes does if the background check company uses some online database that isn’t updated. I’ve gotten banned from Airbnb twice because their background check company kept reporting I was in prison (lol)
Meta likes that you have that fighting spirit documented
lol
But seriously don’t worry, I had one too none of the offers I got cared about it. For me it was 6 years ago so don’t trip dawg
It will be fine
They verify employment history.
Throughout my entire career, spanning close to 17 years, a few companies went out of business or merged with others.
Dont worry dude u will be fine
Where you referred for the role?
It's were.
No it’s where.
