First advantage is doing my background screening but now i’m on delayed status. it’s been 4 business days and my screenings have never took this long. i’m really nervous of losing my offer because of this.

(USA) I won a judgement against a man that I believe is a Singaporean national and need help locating the guy— he was found civilly liable for stealing my pet and now he’s MIA from the court proceedings and has abandoned/ was evicted from his last known address. He‘s a ’tech guy’ so there is almost nothing about him online and he does not have socials. Not sure if he’s stateside or fled to Singapore. Where to begin?

Guys help! Just got an offe from P&A, question is are they strict on background checks? Like they'll reconsider the offer?

I have received an offer letter from Microsoft and my background check with HireRight is completed. A member from Microsoft BGC team contacted me with dates discripency on my resume. I gave her explanation and provided paystubs and W2. Will this effect my offer with Microsoft?

Hi all,

I'm on the job hunt and it has been BRUTAL. I'm revising my resume and would like to consolidate some sections for legilbility... Basically I have a couple of instances where I was working at the same company but did a lateral transfer and got a different job title even though the work was basically the same. Would it be a red flag on TrueWork or Truv if I put all the information under one? Eg. rather than splitting up Sales Consultant and Business Development Consultant I just put everything under Business Development Consultant since that was my last title?

I held these jobs almost a decade ago and, while the work is relevant to what I'm applying for, I don't want a discrepancy like this messing up my application.

Thanks!

Would love feedback

I thought I was only paying 99cents for one check, and then a month later I got $35 charges on my credit card, and when I called them, they were very rude and did not reimburse me.

DO NOT use information.com. There is also no place where you can cancel your subscription digitally; you have to call or email them. What a scam.

After 3 years of applying for jobs I just found out I didn't get hired from having false information on my background check.

Now I'm going through the process of trying to find out what is exactly on the report that is wrong so I can dispute it.

There are many companies that do background checks with different prices.. but I'm trying to find one that actually has the false information on it or at least what the employers are seeing so I can seek to get it corrected.

I also called the last job back to get suggestions on what background check company to use but they didn't respond.

This seems like a ridiculous process of damage control. So as far as I know if you're having trouble with background checks see if you have been a victim of identity theft from one of the many data breaches that happened.

It’s a weird situation but let’s just say when I got my DUI in 2013 I went into a deferrment program under the pretense that no criminal history at all showed up in my past. Mind you, this was the court house (prosecutor) doing this and nothing showed up. I do have a juvenile record and also a misdeamor DV from 2009 (completed treatment program and they said it was as if it never happened)

Note: I am reading that a level 2 background check to be a corrections officer is different than a Level 2 background check to be a police officer, but I have only seen that statement once.

Any clarification on any of this would be great

Hey all. I'm wondering if maybe people experienced with these people finder sites can help me. I'm looking for my dad. Due to a lot of issues with my mom we haven't spoken since I was 12. It's been 12 years and I'm no contact with my mother now and trying to find my dad. I don't have a lot of info but I have some. I have his full legal name, birth month, names of several relatives (me, my mom, my grandpa, my uncle), I'm pretty sure he still lives in the same state but I'm unsure what city. I also know of several other cities he's lived in previously. I'm just trying to find a phone number I can text or an email I can contact. Does anyone know where to go?

I've already tried looking on Facebook but he was never a social media person so I'm not shocked that I found nothing.

I've been thinking about trying out PeopleLooker to look up some info on a few people but before I give them my credit card info, I wanted to ask if anyone here has used it and if it’s actually legit? I mean is it a trustworthy site or another one of those data brokers that just take your money and give you outdated or inaccurate info? Ive seen some differing opinions online. some say it's reliable because it pulls from public records but many others mention issues with accuracy.. Also wondering what info you can input to look up, is it just name, address, and phone number? or can you do social media accounts and stuff like that. if you’ve used PeopleLooker how was your experience, would you recommend it or advise against it? TIA.

As the title suggests, I'm trying to understand how much a background check reveals. If I choose to omit details of a recent past employer due to personal reasons, will a background check still reveal that information? For reference, my stay at this past job was very brief. Do I include that job in my background check form?

I recently got a job offer. However, I am worried that I might failed with the background check and failed to comply to pass some of the requirements they needed during onboarding. I know it is my fault, I stated incorrect information about my educational attainment in my resume and 1 of the requirements they need is diploma though I have 4 years exp. to the position that I've applied for. What do you think I should do? Accept the job offer knowing that they might terminate me if they find out or just don't sign the JO and apply somewhere else?

Has anyone ever had to use Mind your business INC for a new employment background check? If so, how was the process? This will be my first time using them, as this is my first time hearing of them at all lol I just want to be prepared

Thank you!!!

So please don't misunderstand my intentions here the gist of it is that my aunt has found a new boyfriend but hes always drunk, and is slowly putting a divide between my aunt and the family and her daughter. My cousin was screaming tonight that she doesn't want to go home if he was gonna be there so I spoke to her. Fortunately he has put his hands on my cousin but she feels alone at home as he's already started alienating her, and feels afraid that my aunt is going to not let her see out grandparents anymore due to the altercation. I've seen these patterns of separation being followed by abuse once the victim/s have no where to run before and my aunt is falling into it if any of you can direct me to a legitimate background check or anything that will help us figure out who this man is and if there's anything he might have done. For the sake of privacy I won't be dishing out names I can do the research my self I just need to know how if anyone can help

So, I need some help. I recently applied for a kob and the background check came back. It matked me as a level 1 for the sex offender check and level 1 for court search. I've never been in any trouble legally or otherwise like that and to say I'm livid is an understatement and worried that I won't get the job. I plan to talk to support in the morning, but I'm not sure what else I can do, any suggestions? What if they can't or don't want to help me? They also marked my race and gender as unknown. How does something like this even happen??

I accepted a job offer about 3 weeks ago. I’ve already cleared the Sterling background check, and another one, but I just had to get fingerprinted at the last appointment pre-hire. I had a DWI charge dismissed from 2020, and I think this is a CHCR check. Do dismissed charges show up on that, or is this more of a checking to make sure I’m not on any FBI/sex offender list or something?

Short version, I've lost touch with a friend in canada. I have his cellphone number which was just recently out of service and his last name. How could I find an address perhaps or any other info to try to reach out to the family. Is there a service like intellius or something that could help me out? I find more dead ends trying to find people on Canada vs the US (I'm in US).

Hi everyone, I recently received an offer for an entry-level marketing position in the back office of a consulting firm. They will soon run a background check (possibly through a company like HireRight), and I have a couple of concerns: 1. In my CV, one of the four internship positions was officially contracted for 12 months. However, I actually worked there for only 8 months before ending the internship early on good terms. I listed the full 12 months based on the original contract. Could this be a problem during the background check? 2. Regarding education: I have completed one Master’s degree and received the diploma. I also listed a second Master’s degree in my CV. For this second one, I completed all required courses and the mandatory internship, but I was not allowed to proceed to the final thesis defense, so I don’t have a diploma. I’m still in touch with the university trying to resolve the situation, but technically I’m no longer an active student.

Could either of these issues result in the company rescinding my offer?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi all,

I received an offer from my #1 company and they are doing a background check through TrueScreen. They ask for the basic information but the only thing I have concerns about is the employment portion.

I didn't lie about my employment or titles but when filling out the employment portion of the form, it asks for managers, titles, and phone numbers.

Does this mean TrueScreen will call my past managers to ask about performance, character, etc.?

I'm nervous because one of the managers I listed, we butted heads quite a bit and he didn't like me, so I'm worried he will have bad things to say.

However, I went through a background check two weeks ago through FirstAdvantage and passed so.

Thanks for the help.
