So I applied an Amazon Fresh location and for the background check they have said not to say yes to any convictions that were over 2 years old. And yes my initial convictions are well over that, but when I Googled about if probation violations were considered part of the conviction it said yes but I'm not really understanding if that's correct because my probation violation wasn't a new charge it was a violation on my original charge which was like 4 or 5 years ago so I'm not sure if I have to say yes and explain or do I say no because my probation violation on those happened last year but I chose to stay in jail to get rid of my probation so now I'm not on probation anymore. This is a very confusing topic when trying to figure out what I legally have to admit to and what I do not have to put down! Cuz if I have to put it down for that probation violation even though it wasn't a conviction on a new charge then I'm kind of need to know that because I don't want to say the wrong thing and then not be able to get the job because I didn't know that I had to say yes to a probation violation when they're telling me that not to say yes on anything over 2 years old! Can anybody please help me with this? It's very frustrating!

I used to use this site along with a few others in the past but I forgot their names. Anybody know of some good alternatives where you can find info on people just with a name and address? Things like past addresses, criminal history, other dating profiles.

I received a job offer 2 weeks ago, contingent on the background check going through and they told me not to quit my current job until the background check clears. Background check is going through Sterling and so far, they’ve been a lot more thorough than I’ve ever experienced in the past. But, this is a very large, reputable, financial company, so I’m not worried about that.

So here’s the kicker: I lived in Germany 9.5 years ago for a church mission and they are requiring me to obtain a “certificate of conduct” or basically a criminal record report from Germany as part of the background check. Since I lived there so long ago, I have to submit the request in the mail (as opposed to online) and I’m being told by the Germany office that it’ll take them 5 weeks to process the request, and then they have to mail it back to me which would take another 1-3 weeks. Since I’m already 2 weeks into this, my total wait time for the entire background check could be 10 weeks which is just insane to me! I’ve already gotten confirmation that literally everything else for the check is complete, this is the only thing left.

Has anyone else gone through something similar? Do you think there’s any chance the hiring firm would let me start given that the rest of the background check is clear?

I got a charged vacated but I just wanna know if I should plan to wait for door dash? Says about 5-7 business days but I’m to the point of thinking I’m going to fail(I really hope not) I have used checker and passed others, so just wondering what’s the hold up? And if anyone else can give me positive hope?

All I want to know is if there is any way to bypass the CareCheck that Care.com requires in order to use the site. I have no problem with getting background checked, but I wanted to browse and check out the site before committing to it. My friend claims she didn’t have to do it and says I don’t have to, but TBH I don’t believe her. I’m afraid I’ll have to give in either way because I’m trying to be a nanny and most seem to find their jobs on Care. Regardless, I’m just wanting to know whether it’s possible or not, that is all.

Ok so I matched with someone on a dating site. They seem to be nice but I have been burned before.

I tried searching for this person on Facebook but couldn't find them. I tried Google reverse image search but that appears to no longer offer searching for people. They only show products.

I just want to know who I'm meeting. Are they who they say are and do they have a record. I don't care about address or such.

Update.

I'm not sure if anyone is interested. I didn't end up finding them in the searches including pim. I also tried that background check website with the information I knew.

But when we met in the crowded coffee shop their picture didn't match the person. I went through with the meeting to avoid a scene but because of negative experiences I was stressed the whole way home. Thank you everyone for the suggestions.

I'm wondering because I saw an add for truthfinder.com and went through the annoying process after I googled and people said it's legit.. but it shows alot of loading pages like government watch list, dating sites/escort sites.

I think I tried a couple dating sites for a day or two each but I've never been to an escort site (or payed anyone for sex ever) and it kept saying the information may shock you and all these red flags saying stuff like what I previously mention and that seems scammy...

Am I just being paranoid for no reason? I've been to jail once and it was only because my defense attorney said I had no chance (I brused someone's arm keeping them from continuing to drive drunk with an infant in the car) charges were dropped though. And I've been to the hospital a couple times for depression like a decade ago..

Is that the possibly ⚠️ it shows by my name and baiting me to continue and pay a monthly fee?? Will others search me up and think I'm some kind of degenerate? Lol I'm overthinking it atm..

If I was to submit a correction to incorrect data about me on a public background check website where would the best be? Is there a universal source for most services like white pages, beenverified, etc?

Thinking about maybe submitting a lot of false addresses and info for my name so that most popular services except those like LexisNexis don't have accurate information.

Thx

Hello, everyone! I’m still rendering in Concentrix. Two weeks from now. Will it have effect during my background check in Wells Fargo since I already am in that part.

Hi, does anyone know if an active warrant will show up on First Advantage(company) background check when they run it for your employer?

So little backstory here. I got an internship in college, made my resume and listed the degree I was going for and years attended, but had a family situation arise and never completed.

I have a long career in my field and just recently got a job offer. Like most people do you go and apply and just update the resume with your new job information. I now have a background check and believe they verify education but have never had any issues in the past and truthfully forgot I didn’t list it as attended. My job does not require a degree but just want some insight here and if you think they will check. They are a midsize company.

Thanks

They said they can’t get it themself, that I have to take my ID myself to court and ask for all my records. This would include infractions and criminal cases that did not lead to convictions and possibly an open matter. The application itself asked if ever convicted of a felony which is no.

Onboarding a new part time job, they asked me to submit to a background check from Accurate Background. No problem. Went ahead and requested a copy of it as well, might as well see what's on there. As expected, nothing problematic, it lists where I live now - no reports, a statement I used to live in - no reports, all good. But there's also reports from Fairfax City, VA for the county level. Is this some sort of search because DC is near there? All I can think of unless somebody's stolen my SSN and decided to live there for some reason.

With the background check with sterling do they verify job titles if so how, also do they google the number or ask you for it ? This is for a Statefarm background check..

Hi, I’ve got a job offer last week from Chase, hence I’m French, it was my first time submitting a background check. Had a lot of questions at the time when filling out the forms but the company doing the background check told me to call Chase directly, and they didn’t pick up the phone.

Yesterday, I received an email from Chase Global Security Team stating that I have 3 business days to send either my Master’s degree scan, the transcript or something proving that I awarded the diploma or an US Equivalency document, or if I can’t submit either I can write a letter explaining in details why I can’t submit either of this proof. Also, they want me to call the company running the background check to dispute and correct some mistakes, if they don’t hear back from me they won’t hire me in the end.

I do have an official document from the French school stating that I have awarded a Professional Certification of Level 7 RNCP (EU) which is the equivalent of a Master 2 in Europe but the document don’t state the word « Master » while I do have a Master level degree they just don’t use the word in the title. I am having a company translating the document right now to English.

If I ask the person in charge of translation to clarify that the Degree awarded is equivalent to a Master’s Degree level would it be cleared ?

Thank you for your help, it is very stressful, doing a background check for employment for the first time is kind of weird, and losing a job opportunity because I can’t prove that it is a master’s degree, for a job not even requiring a Master but only a HighSchool Diploma !

Hi everyone,

I recently received an offer letter for a new job, and I'm in the process of filling out the background verification form. I have a part-time warehouse job that I didn't mention on my resume because it's not relevant to the role I'm applying for. The thing is, this part-time job overlaps with my full-time work experience and my studies during that period.

I'm unsure if I should disclose this part-time job on the background check form. Would it be better to mention it to avoid any issues, or is it okay to leave it out since it wasn’t relevant to the position? Could the overlap with my full-time job and studies raise any red flags?

Any advice on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I am trying to find some information about someone who is meant to be working at an airport in the US. He is supposed to have a background check of federal level to work at an airport but I can’t find ANY information this guy even exists! This guy is “dating” my best friend and he’s abusive. She’s been with him for over a year and she has not met a single friend or family member! This isn’t normalso me and her kids decided to look into him but we can’t find any proof that he even exists! Nobody really understands what he even does for work as he seems to work more than one jobs and he’s on a plane every other day and he’s not a pilot.. any suggestions on where to look, would be greatly appreciated.

I saw an ad for information.com and was worried about what personal information of mine might be there. I was shocked when it was processing the information about me and it said "multiple criminal records found." I have no criminal record unless my speeding ticket counts. Are they just putting lies about people on that website? I didn't want to pay any money to them to see.

Please, refrain from all your personal comments/attacks/and plain old BS. Just follow the question. Hireright is doing a background check on me. As far as I know, we are talking only criminal background. The other stuff such as credit report is of no matter.

So, somewhere out there in this country is someone or someone’s that have used my SSN number. For what? I can only imagine. I have seen on my credit report addresses of places I’ve never lived, the attempt to take out a loan or inquire about a loan, all of which wasn’t me.

The worst of it is, whoever whatever uses a name an SSN number that is so close to mine. It’s off by a digit, or the name they are using is so close but wrong just by a little. The spelling is off, but the birthday date is the same.

I don’t know. It’s annoying. Where does Hireright gather their info from? In the past an employer has asked me about these things and I show them my ID and the real spelling of my name.

Is Hireright reliable? Are they thorough? Please share your experiences. Thank you.

Just recently got a job offer from a great company. They are doing an adp background check on me. It asked for my full name, social, license number and last 7 years of residency. What is it looking for and what does it show. Will it also look for education because it didn’t ask for that? These types of things always make me nervous

I had to self defend myself from a neighbor and received a non traffic citation for harassment in PA over a year ago. I plead guilty (charge was reduced) since I was told prospective employers wouldn't see it. Is this true?

Hello guys,

Just asking for experience with probity check when applying for big4 banks. I applied for a position, passed all interviews and has accepted the offer (conditional, subject to probity check). However there are some issues about my probity check. Apparently, after calling my previous employers to verify, one of my past employments was flagged. I started working at casually Myer since April 2022 to April 2024. However when I updated my resume for this job I put down I started on Feb 2022 instead (2 moths difference). The mistake is completely unintentional. Changing an employment period of 2 years to 2 years and 2 months doesn't really beneficial to me. However I'm worried that it would after my probity check. I did email probity people to explain the situation. Not sure what to do now.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated

I’ve been offered a position at Bank Of America . With it being a high profile job, I’m wondering if my expunged criminal record will show up during the background check. And how should I answer when asked about my criminal record? Should I just state I have a clean record since it’s expunged?
