They can check any information that is on your employee file. I've handled verifications of ex employees of my company. Things asked were like date of joining, last date, position title, last drawn salary, reporting manager, disciplinary issues if any, etc. So moral of the story is don't lie to your future employers.

QUOTE(Mavik @ Oct 8 2021, 09:18 PM) Only with your consent (it's the same consent they will ask you to sign for the background check). They will also find out if you lied about it as well. Depending on the hiring company, but for financial institutions they will check your past employment and to make sure that what you said is not a lie. I have seen cases where the payslip and documents were forged and the candidate was rejected due to lying. Hmm I was just wondering. I had an ex employee put another person (A) as her reporting manager, instead of her actual reporting manager. Would this affect that person's chances with the prospective company? Banking industry. She was a good employee, just don't know why she so silly decided it's a good idea to lie about her reporting manager. Sigh, hope she doesn't lose out on this opportunity due to this silly mistake.

QUOTE(Mavik @ Oct 31 2021, 08:36 AM) It isn't a 100% dealbreaker but HR would highlight this to the hiring manager and it is up to the hiring manager to make the decision. It isn't uncommon but usually if they are willing to lie about things, it raises a red flag. More so in particular in the banking industry where honesty and integrity are of extreme importance. You wouldn't want your bank teller or people handling your money to be dishonest right? The silly mistake is just another excuse to lie, there will definitely be underlying causes. The simplest thing is to just remove the reference or clearly state any sort of past history. You've got a very good point. The "silly mistake to lie" probably has other underlying causes. I wouldn't hire if I was the hiring manager coz I will wonder to what extent would she consider no big deal to lie about. And I think that this bank also done a verbal reference check with the fake reporting manager too. So it's 2 former employees' reputation that got hit - the one who lied about her reporting manager, and the fake reporting manager who claimed to be her reporting manager. If that bank hires her anyway, I'd be questioning that bank's hiring process and move my money to another bank 😂 This post has been edited by blu3gyrl: Nov 1 2021, 10:06 AM
