Surely one of the first things he does when contacting a company is to warn them that a web search will find these things, but that he has been exonerated, and to provide documentation as to such?
I just find it incredibly sad that the people conducting these background checks at such large companies are so utterly incompetent.
- alistairSH 11y agoI'm not sure I agree that this is a sign of incompetence. Instead, it's likely a case of extreme risk aversion. Hiring somebody is risky and expensive. The cost for getting it wrong is quite high. At best, it costs the team money in lost productivity. At worst, the new hire actually is a criminal (or whatever). Given two otherwise equal applicants, it's only prudent to hire the one that doesn't have nasty Google results.
