Both of the companies I've worked at have given me an offer prior to a background check, and included a clause that the offer could be terminated if I failed it.
- wyclif 5y agoOut of curiousity, what (besides criminal activity) would cause a candidate to fail a background check done by a software company?
- ollien 5y agoLying about job history. I almost failed my last one because I accidentally filled out the wrong dates for an internship.
- gumby 5y agoIf the job involves handling money (CFO’s office, especially A/P and A/R). Security guard and such. Otherwise I think that they are an unwarranted intrusion, but our HR and Legal say otherwise.
- wyclif 5y agoThanks for the reply, but I'm not quite sure I understand (or maybe I'm just being thick this morning). Are you saying that if you had a previous job handling money you're automatically disqualified, or are you only suggesting that if you handled money and they report something was amiss you won't pass?
- ollien 5y agoI believe they're saying that you should only need to be given a background check if you're handling money. Not that past money handling is a disqualifier
- gumby 5y agoThat’s what I meant. Having experience in A/R is something you’d want when hiring for that position. But if the person had an embezzlement conviction I think you’d want to know! BTW another thing about people who handle the money is that they are required to go on vacation.
