mr_noxx@lemmy.ml 9 hours agoYou’re assuming that the HR department is diligent and willing to expend the energy to track you, and the other three hundred candidates’ information down for this single role. In my experience, this is a wild assumption.

I would imagine it’s nowadays at the point where employment verification is automatically fired off to some vetting agency automatically during the process where software does all the cross referencing and anomalies would be caught and reported.
I don’t think they have to go all private investigator to get basic employment verification from the actual employers anymore.

It really depends on the company you’re applying to. If it’s a small business? Yeah, no. They usually can’t afford or don’t want to bother with a vetting agency. If it’s some big corporation? Sure, they’ll probably do that. At the end of the day though, it’s a question of how suspicious you or your resume look that will decide how much energy they want to put in to vetting the claims you make.

Yes and no. Up to 2 years ago my company was still manually requesting criminal background checks. A 3rd party company did them, but HR had to open a case each time. Now that is automatic, but tons of processss at tons of companies are still antiquated for various reasons.
Its entirely possible vetting is minimium because of cost and labor involved.
