Tesla ruined whole auto industry
Okay, so super long story short. Applied for a role at a big tech and got an offer. The background check took extremely long which went well-within 2 weeks before the start date. Had to put 2 weeks in at my current company (start date was not negotiable), but the background check company wasn’t able to verify freelance work I have done many years ago (they should have been able to). Now my income is on the line because the backgrounds check is inconclusive. There is a concerning chance they won’t be able to contact these clients in time, leaving me unemployed. (Will remedy this for next round) Given this, I’m could potentially get screwed and so I am looking for a few referrals. I work in performance marketing / paid social in tech. I did a large search and there are roles at the following companies that I am a solid fit for: TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Amazon, Pandora, Cisco, Indeed, Adobe, Intuit, Atlassian, Wayfair, And Lyft. If anyone would be open to providing a referral, it would be huge for me to get that initial interview. I interview extremely well and have solid experience working on major tech brands in a client facing capacity. Happy to share my resume/LinkedIn in a DM. #tech #pinterest #adobe #intuit #atlassian #wayfair

If background check is inconclusive, how certain are you that it will be conclusive for any new company you try for?
Because I had no idea they would be contacting my old freelance clients directly. This was the only issue in the background check. I didn’t have time to get in touch with them as only 1 former client responded. If most haven’t responded to me, they def won’t to a 3rd party BC service. I will have ample time to get in touch with them as I interview for something new. Also, I’ve worked at several companies and this has never been a problem.
