Incorrect on background checks - there are employment verification services that get quite a lot of data (many companies opt in to sending them payroll data).

- endisneigh 5y agoWhich ones? HireRight and Sterling both only verified what I sent.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoThat's not a meaningful statement without quantifying what "a lot of data" and "many companies" mean.
- sgerenser 5y agoI tried pulling my TheWorkNumber report, and I was surprised to see my weekly salary history not only at my current and prior BigCo jobs, but also at my prior small (~100 employees) company. Apparently they used ADP for payroll and that was enough to get into the Work Number database. I’m not sure I HireRight always cross references with databases like TheWorkNumber, but it would be trivial for them to do so.
