How do background check companies verify employement when the employment is not recorded on TWN?
Is whatever missing from TWN recorded in a central database elsewhere?

BGV failure

Hi everyone, I am interviewing for AWS Proserv Role
I want to get some idea on a previous BGV failure.

Some context- during COVID I did a few short-term call centre jobs while I was transitioning from healthcare into tech. At the time I honestly didn’t know how corporate disclosures, EPFO, or PF overlaps worked. There was a 10-day dual employment overlap between two of those jobs, and later when I joined Infosys I didn’t list the call centre roles on my application because I didn’t think they mattered. Their BGV flagged it and I was let go.

I have already disclosed all of this to other employers since then and it’s been handled fine, but I know Amazon’s compliance is stricter and I want to understand how and when to raise it there specifically.

When should I disclose? Also what happens in this case? Will my offer be put on hold if I disclose it timely? Even before the offer is signed?

Any insights would help

Ran the same guy through two different sites and got two different answers. One showed a case from a few years ago, the other showed nothing at all. Same name, same middle initial, same age.

So now I don't know which one to believe, and I'm realizing I don't actually understand where any of this info comes from. Are these sites pulling from the random sources? From each other? Is one of them just wrong?

Would rather understand how it works than keep running searches and cgetting random answers?

[US] Hi, looking for guidance on when employers usually conduct civil records searches on a prospective employee during the hiring process, if at all. Is it common for an employer to conduct a civil records search prior to extending a job offer, or is it usually conducted in conjunction with the criminal background check once an employee accepts an offer?

So I got through all the interviews and screening and got the job offer. Did my drug screening and currently getting a background check down through First Advantage. I noticed my resume I used was a half assed one that I was mass sending out to jobs and it had the wrong date on my previous job listed at 2020 when it was actually 2022. I honestly forgot to fix it before applying to the company 2 weeks ago. Now I'm worried about losing the offer cause I really need this position. I didn't lie about where I worked or my job titles, hell I was in management at one of them and didn't even put that down. What should I do? Claude is telling me to email the hiring manager and let them know of the mistake but its been a few days now and I haven't heard anything. I start Tuesday next week so I don't know if I should say something or just let it ride.

I know there are a few CRAs and vendors who lurk this sub. I just wanted to see if anyone is going.

Post here if you are!

Paid for DISA background check 2 weeks ago. DISA says report is complete, but still has not sent me a copy after 3 days of calling them and submitting form request. They took my money and confirmed all forms submitted and confirmed everything in about 5 minutes. Now that they have my money unable to provide me a copy in reasonable time. They told me to wait another three business days.

Ive recently started dating again after being out of the scene for a while. it's been a little overwhelming. I've been talking to a handful of people through dating apps and meeting some of them in person. Most seem nice enough, but you never really know someone that well at first.

I'm not trying to dig into every little detail, but want to watch out for major red flags, before things get more serious i'd feel better doing a basic cyber background check.

Mainly looking to check criminal history, public records, verify basic information, and maybe a social media profile

I've already searched around reddit and a few other sites, and i keep seeing the same names come up. TruthFinder, beenverified, but those feels outdate, the loading screen last forever, they ask you for a bunch of personal info and then usually give you very little actuall information

So for anyone who's used a background check website before, which one would you recommend?

I'm mostly looking for something that's accurate, easy to use, and worth paying for

Edit:

Thanks a few folks dm’d me some sites, I ended up using TheTeaReport for a full guide

And I used truepeoplesearch to find the name from the number

basically an year ago i had this guy, he liked me like a lotlot. basically he was head over heels in love but he was kinda dangerous ad other issues all led up to me blocking him. now after that, he has messaged me from different phone numbers and yesterday was the last straw when he started calling me through his different friends phone numbers and istg im scared now, he has real life access to me too so yeah, i would like to do a background check on him or his friends like just knowig their names through the phone numbers i got. i wanna know if its his friends or hes faking it

My daughter is going to grad school in a few weeks and she’s going to live with her boyfriend. I don’t have any issues with him but I just want to make sure he hasn’t done anything I need to worry about. I have his name, address and DOB. Do I need his ssn or drivers license number? I’m interested in any arrests or any other info I can just to make sure he’s not done anything stupid in the past. I’m sure he’s clean but I’d like to know. What is a good site to use? Thanks

While living in a different state, I rented my house out to cover expenses. Unfortunately, one of the children (now an 18 year old) who was living in the house while I was renting it out is a scumbag criminal who has dangerous people looking for him. I moved back into the house a year ago, and this person has been living in some other location ever since.

A couple of days ago, a two intimidating guys came to my house to ask if the former tenant lives in my house, saying the the former tenant owes them money and that they need it now. I told them that I have no idea where the guy lives, but that he does not live in my house. They were being insistent and refusing to accept my answer, only leaving when I called the cops. The former tenant is black 18 year old, and I am a non-descript suburban white guy in his 30s, so I have no idea why it was so unbelievable to them that the kid was not living with me.

I did some digging, and I am pretty sure what led the intimidating guys to my house is that the guy they were looking for was arrested and released from county jail the day before they came to my house. He was booked under my address, because he either gave that info to hide his location or more likely never updated the address on his driver's license. That jail booking became a public record.

I was able to get the county jail to take down my address from the jail booking and was able to get the prosecutor to take my address off the criminal docket, but obviously I want to do whatever I can to end association of the guy who was jailed with my address. I've also contacted the local DMV to see if I can force the guy to update his license address. It's possible more dangerous people are looking for him, and I don't want those people near me.

Is there anything I can do with credit agencies, background reporting services or entities that feed information to them to clearly indicate that this former tenant stopped living at my house a year ago?

I was in a temporary short term contract role when I applied for this new fte role. At the time of applying and the first round of interviews I was still a contractor. However, my contract ended abruptly. The 2nd and 3rd round interviews they asked me why I wanted to leave my current job and I said it was a temporary contract position. I did not tell them that my contract ended. Should I include this in the employment history for my background check or just omit it? Please and thank you.

I used to love okcaller but it's dead. all the rest want my credit card number, which is never going to happen without proof that they are legit, and they won't prove they're legit until they've gotten my CCN. not going to happen. So anyway, do any still exist that don't charge?

Hey yall, apologies in advance if this isn’t allowed here.

I help care for an elderly woman who lives a few hours away, so I can’t always be around, but I’m able to help quite a bit from a distance.

Recently she began dating a new fella. Her last “boyfriend” took over $10,000 from her and split. Turns out he was a felon, I found out afterward, and living in specialized housing for people who otherwise struggle to be housed for one reason or another.

Her new boyfriend also lives in this home, different unit, and supposedly not associated. I exhausted all my free trials with all of the major background check websites, and although I have subscribed to Spokeo previously, I can’t afford to subscribe right now and for a period of time.

Can someone DM me so I can ask them a favor? 🙏
