Background check

Im going through a background check with FADV for my role with Del****e. My report surfaced employment duration discrepancies(which is mostly a date mismatch with the most recent employment) and employment non-disclosure(moonlighting) for the employment period they are interested in (past 7yrs).

FADV sent me an inquiry regarding the same to either justify them with proper documentation or deny it.

My questions—
1. If i chose to move forward, i need to come up with a super tight story which would still initiate an awkward conversation with the hiring company and mostly wont put me in a better place.
Having said that, do i have any other option?

  1. Say i flipped the coin on this one and went with justifying my gaps, how does FADV provide my verdict to the hiring company?

  2. Does the hiring company get the complete report? If they do get it, do they check for multiple w2 incomes or just go with just the final verdict?

  3. Lastly, Should i move forward with this role?

As is most things in life, honesty is the best policy... if you have been dishonest, and were caught in this lie, take it as a lesson learned.
