Hey all, just wondering could we ask HireRight not to contact our PREVIOUS employer directly and instead showing them W2/paycheck for previous employer? I know that we could ask this for CURRENT employer, but for a few reasons i do not want them to contact my previous employer directly.

Not sure whether this will show any negative sign to HR and then hamper the process? What's the better way to tell HR about this? Could we just tell them for some personal reason we don't want them to contact the previous employer directly?

Thank you so much!

  • You can black out all the dollar amount in the w2 before you upload it.

      this is handled by a 3rd party company and you can just check do not contact current employer, no need to provide reasons

      Thanks so much for the reply! Did you just tell HR that you don't want them to contact your previous employer for personal reasons? HireRight said I need to talk with my HR and only HR could edit the form so that the field for my previous employer will have a box that I can check No to Contact.... A little bit unsure about what reason I should give HR to not contact the previous employer directly.

      It's handled in the form they give you and during the background check process. You can select if you want them to contact them
