How do professionals deal with background checks?
In my opinion, background investigation is nothing more than the verification of hard indicators and soft indicators.

Gu Ming believes that hard indicators mainly verify identity information, academic information, litigation records, criminal records, work experience and so on. Soft indicators mainly verify work attitude, job responsibilities, interpersonal relationships and so on. The former reflects objective information, so it is more important; The latter reflects subjective information with strong emotional color, so it can generally be used as reference material in practice.

In the background investigation, few companies will do such a detailed background investigation unless they are core positions such as middle and senior managers and financial personnel, or foreign companies that pay special attention to integrity. Generally, they just check their academic qualifications and identity information and call one or two employers to verify the authenticity of the applicant's work experience. You want to find a reliable job, and HR also wants to complete the recruitment target as soon as possible. Generally speaking, they will not have a hard time with their own performance.

Frequent job-hopping, resume merging or erasing several work experiences, what can be done to avoid being discovered?

For the above situation, it is quite common in the process of job hunting. Some job seekers frequently change jobs, and if this information is presented in their resumes, it will definitely affect the success rate of job hunting. No HR company will despise the problem of stability. So many job seekers will erase short work experiences from their resumes or merge several work experiences.

In my opinion, right or wrong doesn't matter. After all, there are various reasons for leaving, not every time you leave. As long as it does not harm the interests of the company and there is no crime, it is not impossible to "beautify" the resume properly. However, what if such an approach encounters a background check?

For job seekers who have erased a certain work experience, you can think of a legitimate reason when you ask about this blank experience in HR interview. For example, attending training courses, family reasons and so on.

Of course, some people will ask, if this work experience is erased, will HR not know as long as I don't tell the truth? That's not true. If HR asks you to provide social security participation records, then the truth will surface. Social security records will truthfully show all your work experience, in other words, as long as the company you work for provides you with social security, then this company will definitely show it. However, job seekers should not worry too much. As for your insurance record, the company can't find it directly. Not all companies will provide social security for employees in the name of the company.

For several job seekers with combined work experience, you only need to deal with the HR or department head of the company. For example, if you merge the work experience of Company A and Company B into Company C, then you need to communicate with the HR of Company C or the person in charge of the employment department and tell them the truth. If you get along well with them, all you need is their oral expression, which usually helps.

If there is a combination of work experience in your resume, you must truthfully fill in one or two recent work experiences, and it is best to combine them into a longer work experience. Because when making a callback, HR or a third-party background investigation company pays more attention to the last one or two work experiences, and rarely goes back to the work experience five years ago in practice. It's been too long, and many things in the company have changed.

Education information is false, how can it be justified?

This is an unavoidable problem, and academic fraud is easy to be found. However, there are still ways to make your education look better. For example, if you say you have a junior college degree, the position you are interviewing for requires you to have a bachelor's degree. What should I do?

Actually, you don't have to pretend this. As long as you indicate in your resume that you are studying for a self-taught undergraduate course and that you are studying, then you are applying for a self-taught major. In this case, your education will be erased from the undergraduate course. Self-taught undergraduate course is different from full-time undergraduate course and online education undergraduate course. You can't find your student status in Xuexin.com, so you don't have to worry about HR checking your student status information in Xuexin.com.

When you leave your job, you offend the head of the department or HR. Will you be rude during the background check?

This is a problem that many job seekers will face. Usually, my work performance and performance are good, but when I left my job, I offended people in the company, fearing that the other party would speak ill of me when doing background checks.

Frankly speaking, from my personal work experience, job seekers don't have to worry too much. First of all, everyone is in the workplace. Generally, I don't deliberately discredit my former colleagues on the phone because of a small background check. They all say that after deliberately smearing, you go back to get in trouble with them. After all, they are all people who know the root of the matter. Secondly, even if it is deliberately smeared, don't worry. As I said before, this inversion belongs to subjective information, and the inversion result can only be used as a reference. So you can tell HR about this situation before ringing back, and they will generally understand. They are more willing to trust their own judgment than others judge you.

What do you think of background checks?

Personally, background investigation is only an extension of talent evaluation technology, which provides enterprises with more accurate talent evaluation results and improves the accuracy of recruitment. Undeniably, the application of background check is not very common in China, and the social understanding of it needs to be improved. Many times, HR background checks are just routine, and most of them stay in the fur. To really dig deep into criminal records, litigation records and other information, it is still necessary to entrust a third-party background investigation agency. We have been working together to find the truth from the panorama.

In the actual case, the reason why HR conducts background investigation is that it has doubts about the information of job seekers. At first, I didn't intend to do a background check, but I had doubts about some information of job seekers during the interview and began to reverse it. Therefore, when communicating in the interview, job seekers should try their best to explain their job responsibilities, work achievements and other information clearly, and give practical cases, so as to win the trust of HR. When filling in resume information, don't leave any defects, such as the time of entering and leaving resumes should be consistent with the time of posting resumes online, and actively fill in the landline number in the contact information column of the original company, which will give you extra points for the interview.
