Does pre employment background check sound normal.?
|
So there is this job that wants to do a pre employment background check.
Which I am not to sure about.
1. They didn't offer me the job yet!
2. They didn't tell me the pay! Said they couldn't yet!
3. They want to check my personal bank acct info and credit background!
Which is a total mess now. Seeing I don't work and haven't since May and nothing is getting paid with no $$$ coming in...
4. This is a cell phone company that wants me to do this. Not a big chain one either. what would they need to know all this personal stuff about me for? This isn't some goverment job! The really strange thing is they don't even do credit checks for those that buy cell phones. they don't even do contracts for there customers its cash or nothing.
So why all the personal info from me?
5. They need to verify that I am not lying about where I went to HIGH SCHOOL! Now you are talking over 15 years ago. Why do they care!
6. How much I got paid from previous employer. Why is this there Business?
7. They want a copy of my last pay stub.. LOL.. Couldn't tell ya how to get one of those... I will NOT contact my previous employer that I worked for.
What should I do?
Do I give them my s.s. # not knowing what the pay is and if the job is even possibly mine...
I can't find any info about background checks and if it is safe to give them this info...

Yes, credit and criminal background checks before any employment offer are normal.
I do not know why they need you personal bank account information.
As far as your last pay stub, if you do not have one and do not want to contact your last employer, you could show them last years income tax form if you worked for that employer during that time period.

It is common for companies to do background checks on people they are seriously considering hiring, and not uncommon to do them before extending an offer. Since this will cost them money to do, they aren't going to do it unless they are interested in hiring you.
To do a background check they'd need your ss#. Obviously you don't have to give it to them, but you are very unlikely to get the job if you don't. |

ALL Companies now these day do credit and background checks for any prospective employee.
FALSIFYING APPLICATION IS SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE TERMINATION. That is why they are doing it.
The reason for asking last check stub is that proves that you worked there.
The reason for them asking you the rate of pay is to compare salary history every company does it.
High School verification is need because it is a perquisite to the job.
You filled out the application and on the back of it it has a blurb saying "I give written consent for XX to conduct a background check and any other checks necessary of the job".

are you people idiots? The company doesn't know what the salary is? Please run away form these scumbags as fast as you can. It's time to stand up for ourselves! Don't let the company screw you over BEFORE you work there - they will have planty of time to relentlessly try to do that once you work for them. Get your head out of your butt! |
