- detaro 6y agoAt a stage where a recruiter makes a decision to make you an offer or not? Directly lying is a problem still (don't tell them a wrong age), but if they come to the wrong conclusions due to fuzzy data?
- yardie 6y agoEvery job that you have gotten has needed ID for background checks. I've never been asked for ID, age, or gender during the interview process. Nor would I give that information freely. I recently filled an online application that asked for SSN and I dropped it right there. You only need my SSN for employer taxes, no way is that part of any job interview.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoSSN also has an approximate timestamp encoded into it. The prefix can be linked to the time period it was given out, which is typically at or near birth registration.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoThis is public knowledge, and the prefixes are even used for identity verification at banks. If you got your SSN at an age other than ~0, you may get flagged as a mis-match when e.g. applying for a new bank account, and it will require a human override to get past.
