  1. no one is hiring someone solely based upon your experience of working at any of those locations ... Ever.

  2. Nearly every HR (realistically any job that earns over 65k a year) have systems like TheWorkNumber, ADP, Credit Bureaus to get your employment records.

  3. If you done fucked up, they can request tax records and I can guarantee you that all those businesses you listed very much have their tax records available from the IRS.

  4. This idea worked like 10 years ago... Even shitty HR have figured this out by now.

When i got hired last which was 2 years ago (in the US, huge company) they outsourced the checks to a 3rd party and my god were they incompetent. They passed me with a caveat saying they couldn’t confirm my most previous job. The records they turned over to me after show their attempts: 3 phone calls to the main number listed on the company’s website. That’s it. The process dragged on for so long i suspected they were having issues because most everyone i had worked with had been laid off and the company barely existed with likes 15 employees down from 300. They wouldn’t take my offer to connect to the VP and just called the same number until they gave up. Its laughable.

I mean, no one is hiring me one way or the other, but with that method I can look at my CV and feel I accomplished something. So, that's good.

WTF that's way to much insights in data that shouldn't be collected in first place.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago
