Hi TS, I have a question.

Let say if the company I interviewed hire a 3rd party for background research. And I was given a consent form regarding background checking. There is a part where I need to answer YES or NO for them to verified my info with current employer. My question is;

1) If I said NO, will the company drop me from their list of hiring? or they just assume that this step is a plus point for them to hire me?

2) If YES, 3rd party company will contact HR to verified my details including salary. What is the consequences for me with current company if I still don't get hire by the company after the background checking?

I believe the background checking is the last stage of hiring process, right?

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, they did background checking by contact HR but did not ask about the salary. They give form to HR and ask them to fill up. Thankfully, my HR able to cooperate.

Last week, I received the offer letter already
