PLEASE proceed with courtesy on ALL videos, especially background screening videos. I love helping others, but it really makes me feel some type of way when I get rude and insensitive comments on my FREE videos. Some folks do not realize how long it takes me to create one video and all of the other stuff while I work a full-time job. I hate to remove the option to leave comments, but the lack of respect makes me want to start with removing the comments, then proceed with removing the video if it comes to it, and stop creating these free resources for those who aren't seeking help in HR. Let's not get there. Just be respectful. 💜
I’m sorry you’re going through that. I found this video to be really helpful. I’m super anxious on how my investigation will go, since I’ve been at some not so great jobs in the past that liked to think they fired me. So thank you for giving me peace of mind.
Why won't the company do all that before even giving you an offer letter etc. Very nerve racking after accepting an offer and giving your 2 weeks notice to your current job !
Bc they’re supposed to give the job offer based on skills, not your screening. It’s actually the fair way, I will never have a company run my background without a job offer. Just tell them that you can not promise a start date until they finalize the screening. Don’t quit your current job until you know for sure the job offer us solid. Typically, that makes them move faster.
Why is a credit check even part of the background check? What does a persons finances have to do with their ability to do the job? There needs to be a law to have this stopped, to me this is just a form of financial discrimination.
It shows how responsible you are they are making sure you are not reckless. If u are reckless with ur own credit and finances you will mostly be that way for the employer. not all people do make mistakes but like she said in the video it's a behavioral check basically.
@@VegasDreamin I am sorry but you are very wrong. People go through rough times and have to choose to pay for basic life expenses or pay credit cards. What do you think is going to come first? Again this has nothing to do with your ability to do a job, and if you think it does then you are very mistaken in your mindset
@@dnlprls that’s the reason they look at trends. That’s something you can explain & that will be disregarded. I’ve hired tons of folks with horrible credit. I would think that you don’t want to give your credit card to a stranger who abused their own credit. Great thing is credit checks don’t apply to all positions. It’s focused on those who will get access to use the company’s finances. If you’re not applying for a job that comes with a company credit card or access to charge costs on the company’s behalf, then ignore it and\or tell the company you don’t feel comfortable allowing them access to your credit history.
You on it!! Not an HR professional but I love the knowledge I receive from this channel! Keeps me informed and able to share with someone else. Keep up the great work! Love your channel!
@@HeyyyHR girl the job i applied for which is customer service rep. they said HR has to review my background check and a charge popped up for domestic violence. and i didnt tell them about it . will i still get hired
@@HeyyyHR i knew i had been arrested before for domestic violence but when they asked if i have any felonies or misdemeanor i said no.... now HR is reviewing my background check what does this mean they said they will get back to me within a week. helppp
@@badbella1785 I had to ask you if you knew bc the answer would be differently if you didn’t know. Now, you should get documents that ask you to give details on what the charge was. Keep it brief!! I have a background screening playlist where I explained how to respond, but I’m not sure which video (they all are definitely worth watching). Submit your response within the time frame. U believe you only have 5 business days to respond. Keep me posted
Hey, I got so much out of this and just subscribed. Not to mention I love your personality. My Mom is a country girl as well as my maternal grandparents. So I can relate to the sayings hearing them all growing up :-) I saved this to my favorites to refer back to as well. I'm pretty much on both ends of the spectrum when it comes down to background checks. I work at a union job and run a business from home. I'm working on my second business which I won't need to hire for. So that frees up some of my time doing background checks. I appreciate you so much and thank you for doing this!
Do you recommend waiting to inform your current company that you’re leaving for another job until the background check results come back from the prospective new employer? I believe most will accept an offer with the new company and provide 2 weeks notice to current company before the background check is complete. I knew a guy who started working for his new company and background check cane back a month later with something unfavorable on it. The info was inaccurate and he kept his job but what an uneasy situation to work through
I was turned down for a bank job because I had "bad credit". I asked them, how can having NO credit (no debt) be considered "bad" credit? At the time, I used cash for everything and didn't have any credit cards. It was highly unfair to be rejected for a job for being debt free.
Working at a bank requires you to educate customers on using credit & selling the idea of credit cards to their customers. Being debt free is opposite of what that job requires
Thank you! The company should have a third party otherwise they’ll tell you if they want you to pull your county, state or federal record. Each comes from a different point of contact. If the company uses a 3rd party then the 3rd party will ask you if you want it.
I recently have been offered a sous chef position at the University of Florida and I'm in the process of an extensive background check and I was in prison for 6 years! I'm not a violent offender or a sex offender and I'm not on probation or anything of the sort as a matter of fact I'm a drug counselor and chef. I just want to say thank you because I've been freaking out all morning and it seems like after the information you gave me in your video it seems like I'm going to pass. Thanks again 💯
My hair Braider is amazing! All credit goes to her! Those braids were over 2 months old! 🫢 I just took them out so I’m going to give my hair a break for while but I loooove knotless braids! Thank you sooo much! 😘🥰💜💜
Companies use all-in-one background check tools to know more about a potential candidate. Some of the information it can return are personal details, criminal records, finance reports, social media, and other references. In terms of criminal records, in case you have one, as long as it has no direct effect to what you're applying for, it shouldn't be an issue.
What if you are on a prescription medication. Should you bring the prescription to the drug test, or tell them ahead of time before going for the test?
You can but normally they will verify it bc the chemicals will let them know it’s a prescription. If for some reason it comes back positive then definitely provide the prescription.
I just came across your video when I did a search on credit checks and it gave me a lot of hope. I would love to see you do a video on background checks in various states. A IRS tax issue keeps coming up on my taxes tied to my (ex-husband/marriage) I am trying to decide do I just tell HR up front before the background check in the event it comes up? I rather be upfront… but some states look into things deeper than other states.
1. Does an apprenticeship show up on work background when an employer checks your work background? 2. Should I take my resume to a job interview? What about a letter of recommendation?
1. If you add it to your professional history section. That's all they use is your resume to know how to check your work history. 2. I wouldn't bc if you applied online, they already have it. I would upload the letters of recommendation with the app so they don't get lost.
Algorithms brought me here and i immediately started making my own idea of where the accent is from, not that it's important. Great advice, thank you. 843
Do they ever disclose why you left a job and if you’re re-hireable? Wondering this cause I’ve gone through some toxic jobs that let me go, but I said I quit and that yes, I’m rehire-able. What matters?
Typically, I never suggest putting "quit" as the reason and yes, they can answer if you're rehireable or not. Get letters of recommendations from folks you've worked with and upload those with your resume. Most times, references will not get checked if you have letters of recommendations.
Girl im so nervous i got a domestic violence charge and i applied for a customer service position and now they told me HR has to review my background bc it popped up :( do i still have hope ?? anyone answeer plz
You should still have a chance. They should have asked you to explain what happened (in writing). Not sure why HR wasn't the only one to see it to begin with🤔
If you included on your resume “I helped save the company “xyz” amount, will the 3rd party background screener verify that? Do they verify projects you worked on? Seems like that would have to involve your direct manager at your current company, and could put you in hot water if things didn’t work out with the new company.
My question in usa so many 3rd parties doing background check for companies. Sometimes they get you sign to give consent . Even those templates are not proper and violation of FCRA . How do we as employees can protect ourselves?? We need those information
Read the template and let the company know which parts are incorrect. Sad thing is, most HR departments are clueless about screenings so they won't know unless someone tell them.
@@cocofellasif you’re rehireabls is one of the commonly used questions. I always suggest getting letters of recommendations to show that even tho that company may not rehire you, others speak well of you.
Do you have to put down every single job you have worked or just the ones with the longest history? I have not included some jobs because I was there either for a few months or I left on bad terms and do not want that employer to give me a bad review.
My background check said to not disclose charges that have not been convicted. I have a pending DUI charge and I do not have a court date yet. If a pending charge would show, then why they do not want me to disclose it?
Hello good morning I just signed a offer letter last week, but now they are looking for the background check and they sent me an email to ask me for a job verification but that job shot down 6 years ago and I don’t have anything to send them is there any problem
For medical professionals all information is sent to the Clearinghouse now and even though they say the individual is allowed to know what is in the Clearinghouse background check, there seems to be no way to access the information without an ORI number which an individual can't apply for. How do you get the information in the Clearinghouse on yourself? I have spent hours looking for this information, so it would be very helpful if you could give me an answer. Thanks so much.
That's an easy fix. I've never needed an ORI number to get information. Here's the link: www.studentclearinghouse.org/ If you still can't get around that, contact Reference Services and they'll pull it for you. www.referenceservices.com/ There fee is so low cost...it's like $20 or less!
Working on an IT degree. I have 5 non aggravated felonies. The last one was Dec of 2017. How long before I can get them expunged first off, and at what cost? I’m almost done with a degree in computer systems management and would like to know if I’ll be able to get a job in the industry. I work full time and have completely made a successful life for myself and make decent money serving now, but want to put my degree to use. What are my chances? Do you think it will work out for me?
Listen, I don't support judgement here. Y'all don't know each other so him being vulnerable and asking for help will not be held against him on this channel. Go to another channel for that.
Now this is a tough one. Check your state's statute of limitations for reporting to see how far back in your criminal history is accessible to them. Next check the charging county's website for the requirements on expungement. Do not get upset, alarmed or distracted if two counties in these state have different rules.
Hi Mrs. Timeka I always hear 7 to 10 yrs check and i heard the farther back the more money it cost is that true? Plus would an employer cosider going farther than 7 to 10 yrs?
Should I put my real job experience on the job application if the job requires a background check? And if so, will the employer check the job application after already have received the job offer?
I’m a little confused, so I’m hoping that I’m answering this right 🥴… please put your real job experience. Do not put fake jobs! The employer will check the job application before interviews, so they definitely will before job offer. Let me know if that helps.
Hi I have a question for you I got an offer but never disclosed I was laidoff. That was less than 2 month ago. Do you think they can rescind the offer because of that?
They shouldn’t bc that’s not what’s checked on background screenings. It could be discovered through screenings but shouldn’t disqualify you from getting the job.
Quick question. Have you every studied employment law in California? Cali is INCREDIBLY REGULATED in every area of life. LOL. Since its the most regulated state in the country, it can be quite complicated when it pertains to HR...at times. Anyway, it would be great if you did a comparison of employment law between different states. Thanks for the videos and many blessings. :) ...Tina
Your last line saved me! 😂 As an HR professional, I hate California law. As a job seeker, I love it! I’ll do a video on comparing state laws but don’t expect a ton of details in CA law! Lol
I did cover some of the 2023 changes in CA Law in this video but I’m pretty sure that’s my only video on CA law so far lol th-cam.com/video/0Ez06GD8vw4/w-d-xo.html
I've been ghosted by enough potential jobs after revealing my simple misdemeanor that at this point i just assume any listing that mentions passing a background check is a waste of my time. I wish jobs would specify whether they're just looking for felonies or if they reject anyone with any kind of record.
Honestly, you can delete them if you want but social media screenings can still find them. Just don't add them to your resume and don't post wild things (i.e. killing, guns, hateful stuff) and you'll be fine.
One question. During my interview, I lied about just one thing that I am currently a Teaching assistant but I haven't mentioned it on my resume. I have got an offer. But, during the preemployment screening, the 3rd party operates it. So, will it get verified by any chance? I had made it up just to make my application stronger. Thanks
Depends on how the question is asked on the employment application & auth form. If it says arrests, then yes. If it says convictions then no. Best thing is to get the darn thing expunged!! Then, you can answer no to either question! ☺️😉
Very good info. Thank u. Im an illegal immigrant in the U.S. Do they check the legality of ur I.D and such? I know some jobs don't like agencies and such but if they check and if they know that its fake do they call police?
Larger companies what are required to check citizenship using the 1-9 form & e-verify will check if it’s valid & legal. Most times the police isn’t called but it is reported to USCIS.
Hi. Thank you so much for your video. Your video is very informative. I have a question. The job title that I put on my resume is different from the job title at my previous employer. I changed the title because a recruiter had told me to and said that company will never check it. Now I regret it. What should I do on my background check? Should I tell the background company the truth ?
As long as the job isn’t drastically different with the duties & your job app shows the actual title from your prev employer, then you’re fine. I suggest changing job titles often so it’s not uncommon.
Thanks for this information! What if you held multiple jobs at once (one more full time and the other with 20-25 hours per week) - does it raise a red flag if you have multiple? Or should you only list the FT roles? Also, do background checks pull W2 info from the IRS?
The first question isn’t a one answer question, but the second question is they don’t. (I’m assuming you’re meaning tax history or tax filings bc normally IF they requested a W2 it would be from you. That’s not a request that I would easily fulfill bc I can’t understand why any employer in the US legally needs that info. I do have 30 min call for $97 that you can schedule. Here’s the link: heyyyhr.com/work-with-me/
a company wants me to start before background check is completed. i dont want to start till its completed. i have criminal record 24 years ago and i only failed one bg check and those charges surprisingly showed up lol. i was surprised. it was for an auto auction company and my grand theft auto showed up. DID THEY PAY FOR SOME SUPER BR CHECK I NEVER HEARD OF? Because i have passed some serious bg checks including TWIC FEDERAL BG CHECKS
Most background checking companies use different resources to pull data instead of the info that is regulated by federal guidelines. County checks is one that is regulated by the feds. In addition, companies could have seen past records & decided for whatever reason that they’re ok moving forward regardless of the charge - every company has its own policy on what’s acceptable or not. It annoys me when companies hold a single charge as a reason to not extend an offer when it only happened once & when it happened over the ban the box timeframe.
@HeyyyHR I told the company today I didn't want to start till they completed the screening. she SUDDENLY CHANGED HER TUNE AND SAID ITS ALL SET AND CLEAR. well hopefully she's not BSing Me. I'm trusting her word and I'm gonna start
So I am on the ineligible for rehire at a hospital but just got offered a job at a different hospital but same company will that pop up on the background or would they see I’m on the ineligible for rehiring??
Those lists are internal. Honestly, I was on the ineligible to hire list for a huge hospital here. I called years later and got it removed. I was more worried that I may want to work there again and I didn't want that popping up. They can see that internally, but they don't typically share it externally. Most have requirements that will allow them to remove it after a period of time.
He hi I'm a victim of human trafficking....in a nutshell I got caught with dagger in south Africa,the police took my finger print but to my surprise the next day at court they say im free I can go without even seeing the judge,my concern are the finger print,I wonder if they put em on their system?
I have a Question I’ve gotten a job offer contingent upon background check, my Cori has a record they sent it everything to me asking for statement about record I’ve submitted on 6/4 I then emailed on 6/6 they responded and said they received it and will email me tomorrow with more information and next phase! Is that a good sign?
Do they count and look at nonconvicted charges still pending or not convicted for a violent charge. I have to go to court to clear erroneous charges currently
I worked with a temp agency for a company and my background check came back asking for verification. My w2 are all in the name of the temp agency and not the actual company. I am trying to explain this to the background check people but they dnt seem to be understanding. What do you suggest I do ?
Sit & wait on the results. Their job is to verify that part too. It should come back fine, but nothing wrong with keeping the recruiter/HR contact in the loop bc they could help by telling them that verification is not needed or something along those lines.
@@marialeonorcobo8962 I had to wait on the process to be completed. When the company got the results they reached out to me asking questions. I explained the situation and emailed them the supporting documentation myself. It all worked out .
Can you help me with my situation? So, I haven't worked in 7 years and was honest about this. However, I made a HUGE error on my resume. One of my jobs that is NOT relative experience. I accidentally put down the wrong year. I had 2015 in my head cause that was when I stopped working and was also my last job. I fixed this on my background screening, and again, I know this job wasn't the reason for hire. My related experience is spot on with dates.
Ok, It sounds like you did all that you could do for this situation by correcting the date with the screening company. What would you like me to help with?
I have a few things against me a old shop lifting charge and dui charge. It isn't yet 7 years ago and today i got my driver license but last week i had my background check, Any advice I have changed my life and ways. I have two little ones here and this is for a hospital job (nutrition ass). I did what it said i did. I wasn't a good person, but i try to be the best me I can now. It will show the last 3 years i have been on top of my credit.
If they ask you about it then say just what you said in this comment & add the fact that you haven’t been in trouble since. Check your email & regular email bc it could come either way. It’s called Adverse Action response.
@@HeyyyHR Hi just an update for everyone. I did get a call from Hr and they recanted my job offer due to my background check. I have not yet received a copy. Hr said I can apply again in 12 months and then the women texted me today and said she can't wait for me to start and gave me my hours. I think I will text her and say how much I wish I could of worked with her and how sorry I am but I got fired due to a 6 yr old dui. I would of worked to be the best employee they had my kids need things. This hurts so bad
I just received an offer … prior to, I quit my job 2 weeks beforehand on the 5th (4/5/23). My resume was submitted by a networking peer that showed my most recent job as present … would this be an issue or reason for them to rescind?
No, not at all. Don't be surprised if it moves faster bc now you don't have a notice period as an issue. It's been a while since you posted this comment. What's the update???
@@HeyyyHR hey!! I got the position. Been in for 4 months… another question tho: I’m interviewing for another internal position, the interview is tmrw actually, when can I bring up asking for a raise? The position I applied for has a range and I’m not at the highest range so is it appropriate to ask for it during the interview or when I’m offered the position?? Also, any other tips for an internal interview?
@@brownsugarglamour Honestly, I wouldn't interview for it without asking them what your new salary will be after you get the role. Sad to say this, but there are tons of companies who will use this as an opportunity to decrease your pay! PAUSE and ask them what your salary will be if you're hired for this role. Don't get disappointed it if doesn't work out. The last thing you want to do is decrease or make your pay stagnant while inflation is running rapid.
My civil litigation case from 2017 came up on a credit check. That was for late payments and I settled that immediately. Is that considered a red flag that my offered will be rescinded?
Litigation cases do not come up with credit checks unless something criminal occurred. Credit is only an issue if you need to use the company's finances or access their finances in order to get the job done.
Can a pending dui charge deny you a job? I got a felony from 14 years ago that popped up an I just caught a dui charge 2 months ago but haven’t had court yet.
Legally, it's not supposed to but honestly, it will come up on your screening. Did you get that 14 yr old charge dismissed or check to see if you could?
They don’t need to know what your conversations were with the background screening company or if something comes up on your background report. Many times employees get the job after things come up on their report & they tell hiring managers reasons or details & that is NOT required.
in the application questionnaire asking HAVE YOU COMMITED ANY FELONIES IN LAST 7-10 YEARS? I SAY NO, which is true, however i have been to SAN QUENTIN, PELICAN BAY, SOLEDAD, FULSOM PRISON for many charges for years, However those charges were 20 years ago. DOES THIS MEAN IM LYING ON MY APPLICATION
If the happened over 7-10 years ago then you didn’t lie. Unfortunately, doing time in multiple prison systems does implicate repetitive behavior. I recently started a partnership with a resource for those who were previously incarcerated rated so I’ll be doing videos in the near future about what they offer (which I think are GREAT resources for multiple reasons) so keep an eye out for that video coming soon. This is my most recent video on background screenings that you made be able to use: Overcoming the Past: Dismissed vs Expunged Records Unveiled th-cam.com/video/lUb4qSNvzHc/w-d-xo.html
@HeyyyHR lol it was 20 years ago and any addictive behavior or law breaking has since passed. now I am 55 and a square. well thank you for replying that was awesome.
I just finished my 2nd interview and they now are checking with my referee. Its a telecom company. Is it safe to say they will only do background check based on reference check?
Honestly, they should only check your references after you've signed the authorization form to have a background screening. Reference checks are most commonly part of the background screening.
As long as it's fully expunged, the no. Check with the charging county in CA to verify the processing time for the expungement. After that, you're good to go. It'll be like you've never gotten charged in your life.
I was offered a job however the background company said it would take 2 _3 business days that was today,it has been about 2 weeks and they say the cou nty that i li live in keep pushing my background check b ack it has went all the way back to next month
Did the charging county tell you that you can't get the charge expunged? I'd have to talk through this one to see what the charge is and what process you took. If you'd like, you could click here to schedule a 30-min call with me: heyyyhr.com/work-with-me/
I’m just a ball of confused right now because some are saying past employments do show up in a background check and some are saying only criminal doings show up😭 Basically, I was doing paid training from July to October (my last day was in September but they sent me a form that says “As of October 4th, you have been discharged” cause I didn’t pass the training/didn’t reach the score I needed to pass). It was 8 online training sessions and 4 field training sessions in total, but the thing is, they assigned me an employee ID number even as a trainee. I don’t want to include it in my resume, but I’m afraid it’s gonna show up in a background check. Can’t companies use our SSN to find past employment, even if we don’t include it in our resume?
Oh nooo! Save your nerves for something else. Please don’t let this get you upset. Breathe. 🙌🏾💜 For US residents, Employers ONLY know where you worked if YOU tell them. They literally use your resume to know your employment history. Your SS# is NOT tied to employment. The government needs that for heavier things & employment ain’t that heavy in the govt eyes lol Employee IDs do NOT MATTER! That’s for a companies internal use. They can give me 50 of them & I wouldn’t care. ☺️ Shake yourself off. Breathe. This is the small stuff.
@@HeyyyHR Thank you! Well hopefully Ross doesn’t reject me for failing my behavior technician training cause my scaredy cat self included the amount of training hours I did😀(hopefully they don’t even ask about).😭 Ok so, even universities won’t be able to check past employment?? A week ago, I applied to a administrative assistant temporary pool thing for my university and I included how I did not meet the training requirements and am now looking for a role that better suits my skills and expertise when they asked what was your last role and why did you leave 😀🔫. But, if i get this job at ross, get to add it to my resume, and reapply for the university position in the future, do u think they will still have the old resume I gave them?
@@kindree5414 chile you be giving too much info. Subscribe to this channel & hit the bell bc you need the info I put out. When they ask why you leave, just say to pursue other opportunities or to grow my career. Exclude these training hours part bc all trainings are not created equal.
@@HeyyyHRI KNOW I KNOW IM SO NAIVE😭 I will for sure binge watch your videos when I get time time! Ok but one more question😭 So… I was looking at temporary county jobs and they asked “Were you ever rejected during a probationary period or forced to resign or fired from any employment?” Does a training period count as a probationary period? And Listen- it’s a county website connected to the government so that’s why I’m scared to say No if the answer is Yes (I mean if a paid training period counts as a probationary period) If I get rejected from Ross, I’ll try to apply to the Ross branch called dd’s discounts but since the two are connected then they might have my old resume from Ross😭 And I also tried applying for a behavior technician role after I failed the first one, and of couse my dumb ass included the failed training and I got rejected, but if I were to apply again, I’m gonna take off the ABA training from my resume (hopefully they don’t keep the old resume😩)
Hi Timeka I am in the process of getting an offer and they told me they want me to complete a background with GoodHire. The issue is I mentioned in my resume that I was at my position longer than what I really was(stated I worked there for about 14 months when I worked there for 7 months) cause I was afraid that I would be rejected automatically due to the gap in my resume. Should I mention my actual dates in the background check? I’m just praying that they won’t notice or say anything and I’ve been struggling in this market
First, you aren’t supposed to be asked to complete a screening BEFORE getting the job offer. But if they’re making huge mistakes like that then I would suggest putting the correct dates on the background screening & hoping they don’t realize the difference. Personally, I would ask them to confirm the job offer first.
@@HeyyyHR yes they said they would give me the offer once it all clears and told me a start date. The screening wasn’t mentioned at all in the job description though and thanks!
Not necessarily. They could be pulling info from different sources. Best way to know you’re standing & what they’ll find is to pull the county record for every county you’ve ever lived in.
In reference to criminal reporting, that means informing the city and state of charges showing on your county report and that could also mean turning yourself in for a charge that you have but law enforcement has not been able to find you.
Hi my name is juan i came across your video i really need help i loss a job recently i been signing about 50 applications a day or 25 of them im 43 and now everytime i get feedback they always say they not moving forward cause of my employee back ground when i never had a problem before in my life so i think my last job put something that not true but i cant find out what my last employee put on my background check that Is preventing me to get a job i call 311 and everything i got my criminal record from court house but i cant get the employee background one ima father with kids it been 2 months as well still no job i never been tho these is there any Advice on how to get a copy of it miss
Hi Juan, I'm sorry your going through this. Employers are supposed to give you a copy of your background screening results. You should request them from those companies that you've given permission (aka where you've signed an authorization form for a screening). Next, good job on getting your criminal record from the court house, but is that from the state, county and federal record departments? If not, then you have not pulled your entire record. I would suggest starting with the county (they're the most accurate) then move along to the other two. Employers do not have the authority to add anything to your criminal record UNLESS you did something that is criminal in the eyes of the law. I hope this helps. Sending good vibes your way!
@@BattleTalk123 Then it shouldn't come up. Go to that county's records dept to make sure they didn't file charges (if it was that big of a deal) to validate that nothing was reported, then you'll know.

It's Federal..If I can't clear the violation, I can't see ever being hired ,when the Company does a clearing house query and sees the violation. They will also discover that I was terminated from my employment history. I have to put answers on my employment application. "Reason for leaving" and "have you ever failed a drug screen?"
@@glenforde6558 Thank you. In my opinion, you’re doing yourself a favor. I created this video particularly for HR pros but it’s the same for most careers. th-cam.com/video/sy-Ow5KV82g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VRTA3fzejL1-sNJK
Is the company asking you to provide one? If so check you state for a low cost report. Otherwise, reference services, Inc can do one that’s more thorough
I’m confused. Are you asking if you can hire someone who has a retail theft charge from 2018? Or are you asking if you can be hired with a retail theft charge from 2018?
@@chrisjuinor4148 that’s easy! You just need a policy that does not prohibit it & perhaps a policy with guidelines to what they have access to. Feel free to schedule a call with me if you want to create the policies
I've been on an unpaid FMLA for the last 2 months and it's wrapping up. I came across an opportunity during that time and it's showing my employment ending during the same time as the FMLA started. I told them this when asked today, I'm just a bit confused...I don't want to tip my hand to my current employer but also am concerned as to why it's showing that way. Does it go off of last paystub received?
There are several reasons this could happen. The first that comes to mind is that the person who gave the verification may not have known how to identify that you’re on FMLA leave & was only looking at pay dates. Second thing that comes to mind is what HRIS they’re using & how are they using it. Regardless, I would contact the company that’s doing the verification, explain the situation (via email preferably) then attach/provide your FMLA approval form which shows your approval dates for FMLA. Don’t leave me hanging! Lol Give me an update or schedule a call with me.
PLEASE proceed with courtesy on ALL videos, especially background screening videos. I love helping others, but it really makes me feel some type of way when I get rude and insensitive comments on my FREE videos. Some folks do not realize how long it takes me to create one video and all of the other stuff while I work a full-time job. I hate to remove the option to leave comments, but the lack of respect makes me want to start with removing the comments, then proceed with removing the video if it comes to it, and stop creating these free resources for those who aren't seeking help in HR. Let's not get there. Just be respectful. 💜
I’m sorry you’re going through that. I found this video to be really helpful. I’m super anxious on how my investigation will go, since I’ve been at some not so great jobs in the past that liked to think they fired me. So thank you for giving me peace of mind.
@@cocofellasyou’re so welcome & thank you! 💜💜💜
Why won't the company do all that before even giving you an offer letter etc. Very nerve racking after accepting an offer and giving your 2 weeks notice to your current job !
Bc they’re supposed to give the job offer based on skills, not your screening. It’s actually the fair way, I will never have a company run my background without a job offer.
Just tell them that you can not promise a start date until they finalize the screening. Don’t quit your current job until you know for sure the job offer us solid. Typically, that makes them move faster.
@@HeyyyHR perfect advice 👍 thanks
@@NkwasiasemAkwakwa you’re welcome
Why is a credit check even part of the background check? What does a persons finances have to do with their ability to do the job? There needs to be a law to have this stopped, to me this is just a form of financial discrimination.
It shows how responsible you are they are making sure you are not reckless. If u are reckless with ur own credit and finances you will mostly be that way for the employer. not all people do make mistakes but like she said in the video it's a behavioral check basically.
@@VegasDreamin I am sorry but you are very wrong. People go through rough times and have to choose to pay for basic life expenses or pay credit cards. What do you think is going to come first? Again this has nothing to do with your ability to do a job, and if you think it does then you are very mistaken in your mindset
@@dnlprls that’s the reason they look at trends. That’s something you can explain & that will be disregarded. I’ve hired tons of folks with horrible credit. I would think that you don’t want to give your credit card to a stranger who abused their own credit. Great thing is credit checks don’t apply to all positions. It’s focused on those who will get access to use the company’s finances. If you’re not applying for a job that comes with a company credit card or access to charge costs on the company’s behalf, then ignore it and\or tell the company you don’t feel comfortable allowing them access to your credit history.
That’s why many states have a 3 year statute of limitations nowadays because of this bullshit!!!
Rightttt !!!! That’s ridiculous I’m 21 years old I’m young I’m not finna have good ass credit yet shit dumb!
I was very discouraging when I got mine back today and it said I failed with no priors. You just gave me hope. Thank you.

You failed? Failed the drug screening? Typically background screenings aren’t “pass or fail” 🤔

@@badbella1785 I had to ask you if you knew bc the answer would be differently if you didn’t know. Now, you should get documents that ask you to give details on what the charge was. Keep it brief!!

U believe you only have 5 business days to respond. Keep me posted
Hey, I got so much out of this and just subscribed. Not to mention I love your personality. My Mom is a country girl as well as my maternal grandparents. So I can relate to the sayings hearing them all growing up :-) I saved this to my favorites to refer back to as well. I'm pretty much on both ends of the spectrum when it comes down to background checks. I work at a union job and run a business from home. I'm working on my second business which I won't need to hire for. So that frees up some of my time doing background checks. I appreciate you so much and thank you for doing this!
Do you recommend waiting to inform your current company that you’re leaving for another job until the background check results come back from the prospective new employer? I believe most will accept an offer with the new company and provide 2 weeks notice to current company before the background check is complete. I knew a guy who started working for his new company and background check cane back a month later with something unfavorable on it. The info was inaccurate and he kept his job but what an uneasy situation to work through
I was turned down for a bank job because I had "bad credit". I asked them, how can having NO credit (no debt) be considered "bad" credit? At the time, I used cash for everything and didn't have any credit cards. It was highly unfair to be rejected for a job for being debt free.
Working at a bank requires you to educate customers on using credit & selling the idea of credit cards to their customers. Being debt free is opposite of what that job requires
I see... At the time I didn't realize that. I was 18 at the time... I'm not sure I'd want a bank job anymore, lol!!!
I ain't slept in two days 🤣🤣🤣🤣I watched your video three times you're very entertaining
You on it Girl! Thank you for this information. I will certainly share it.
Please do! Thank you! 💜💜
Where do I get my background check? Great video as always! you on it grl!
Thank you! The company should have a third party otherwise they’ll tell you if they want you to pull your county, state or federal record. Each comes from a different point of contact. If the company uses a 3rd party then the 3rd party will ask you if you want it.
My dates on resume doesn’t match with reality. But I’ve worked at those companies. I’m still waiting to fill up the form on ACCURATE
How did things work out? Did you get the job?

Companies use all-in-one background check tools to know more about a potential candidate. Some of the information it can return are personal details, criminal records, finance reports, social media, and other references. In terms of criminal records, in case you have one, as long as it has no direct effect to what you're applying for, it shouldn't be an issue.
Not all companies use all-in-one background check tools.
You on it girl ! Thank you so much.
Yaaayyyyy! You’re welcome & thank you!!!💜💜
What if you are on a prescription medication. Should you bring the prescription to the drug test, or tell them ahead of time before going for the test?
You can but normally they will verify it bc the chemicals will let them know it’s a prescription. If for some reason it comes back positive then definitely provide the prescription.
I just came across your video when I did a search on credit checks and it gave me a lot of hope.
I would love to see you do a video on background checks in various states.
A IRS tax issue keeps coming up on my taxes tied to my (ex-husband/marriage) I am trying to decide do I just tell HR up front before the background check in the event it comes up? I rather be upfront… but some states look into things deeper than other states.
You on it girl!! Thank you❤

1. Does an apprenticeship show up on work background when an employer checks your work background?
2. Should I take my resume to a job interview? What about a letter of recommendation?
1. If you add it to your professional history section. That's all they use is your resume to know how to check your work history.
2. I wouldn't bc if you applied online, they already have it. I would upload the letters of recommendation with the app so they don't get lost.
I have felony that is 13 years old that cant be expunged. the question is there anything convicted in the last 7 years. Will that still show up?
Check your state's statute of limitations.

Do they ever disclose why you left a job and if you’re re-hireable? Wondering this cause I’ve gone through some toxic jobs that let me go, but I said I quit and that yes, I’m rehire-able. What matters?
Typically, I never suggest putting "quit" as the reason and yes, they can answer if you're rehireable or not. Get letters of recommendations from folks you've worked with and upload those with your resume. Most times, references will not get checked if you have letters of recommendations.
Girl im so nervous i got a domestic violence charge and i applied for a customer service position and now they told me HR has to review my background bc it popped up :( do i still have hope ?? anyone answeer plz
You should still have a chance. They should have asked you to explain what happened (in writing). Not sure why HR wasn't the only one to see it to begin with🤔
they just sent me a notice saying they cannot continue with employment which is unfair they didnt even give me a chance to explain... smh
If you included on your resume “I helped save the company “xyz” amount, will the 3rd party background screener verify that? Do they verify projects you worked on? Seems like that would have to involve your direct manager at your current company, and could put you in hot water if things didn’t work out with the new company.
No, typically that is not verified
My question in usa so many 3rd parties doing background check for companies. Sometimes they get you sign to give consent . Even those templates are not proper and violation of FCRA . How do we as employees can protect ourselves?? We need those information
Read the template and let the company know which parts are incorrect. Sad thing is, most HR departments are clueless about screenings so they won't know unless someone tell them.
Does background screenings include if you were fired from a job? If so how do you explain yourself if asked about it?
No, the only thing is if you caught a charge with getting fired or the company says your not rehireable
@@HeyyyHRwhat if the company never told you that and you just left thinking you’re re-hireable?
@@cocofellasif you’re rehireabls is one of the commonly used questions. I always suggest getting letters of recommendations to show that even tho that company may not rehire you, others speak well of you.
Do you have to put down every single job you have worked or just the ones with the longest history? I have not included some jobs because I was there either for a few months or I left on bad terms and do not want that employer to give me a bad review.
Put down the ones that gave you experience for the one that is doing the background screening and don't go back no farther than 10 years.
My background check said to not disclose charges that have not been convicted. I have a pending DUI charge and I do not have a court date yet. If a pending charge would show, then why they do not want me to disclose it?
Hello good morning I just signed a offer letter last week, but now they are looking for the background check and they sent me an email to ask me for a job verification but that job shot down 6 years ago and I don’t have anything to send them is there any problem
For medical professionals all information is sent to the Clearinghouse now and even though they say the individual is allowed to know what is in the Clearinghouse background check, there seems to be no way to access the information without an ORI number which an individual can't apply for. How do you get the information in the Clearinghouse on yourself? I have spent hours looking for this information, so it would be very helpful if you could give me an answer. Thanks so much.
That's an easy fix. I've never needed an ORI number to get information. Here's the link: www.studentclearinghouse.org/
If you still can't get around that, contact Reference Services and they'll pull it for you. www.referenceservices.com/ There fee is so low cost...it's like $20 or less!
What about pending speeding tickets? I hired a lawyer to fight the ticket and the court date isnt until next month?
Speeding tickets only matters if the job includes or requires driving a company vehicle, traveling for the job or using your vehicle for work.

Listen, I don't support judgement here. Y'all don't know each other so him being vulnerable and asking for help will not be held against him on this channel. Go to another channel for that.
Now this is a tough one. Check your state's statute of limitations for reporting to see how far back in your criminal history is accessible to them. Next check the charging county's website for the requirements on expungement. Do not get upset, alarmed or distracted if two counties in these state have different rules.

Hi Mrs. Timeka I always hear 7 to 10 yrs check and i heard the farther back the more money it cost is that true? Plus would an employer cosider going farther than 7 to 10 yrs?

Should I put my real job experience on the job application if the job requires a background check? And if so, will the employer check the job application after already have received the job offer?
I’m a little confused, so I’m hoping that I’m answering this right 🥴… please put your real job experience. Do not put fake jobs! The employer will check the job application before interviews, so they definitely will before job offer. Let me know if that helps.
Hi I have a question for you I got an offer but never disclosed I was laidoff. That was less than 2 month ago. Do you think they can rescind the offer because of that?
They shouldn’t bc that’s not what’s checked on background screenings. It could be discovered through screenings but shouldn’t disqualify you from getting the job.
Quick question. Have you every studied employment law in California? Cali is INCREDIBLY REGULATED in every area of life. LOL. Since its the most regulated state in the country, it can be quite complicated when it pertains to HR...at times. Anyway, it would be great if you did a comparison of employment law between different states. Thanks for the videos and many blessings. :) ...Tina
Your last line saved me! 😂 As an HR professional, I hate California law. As a job seeker, I love it! I’ll do a video on comparing state laws but don’t expect a ton of details in CA law! Lol

Facts. Not sleeping .
You on it girl!
I've been ghosted by enough potential jobs after revealing my simple misdemeanor that at this point i just assume any listing that mentions passing a background check is a waste of my time. I wish jobs would specify whether they're just looking for felonies or if they reject anyone with any kind of record.
I think too many companies just aren't educated in background screenings as a whole. I hope they find my videos and use it as a resource
Are social media accounts important? Please explain should they be deleted or not?
Honestly, you can delete them if you want but social media screenings can still find them. Just don't add them to your resume and don't post wild things (i.e. killing, guns, hateful stuff) and you'll be fine.
One question. During my interview, I lied about just one thing that I am currently a Teaching assistant but I haven't mentioned it on my resume. I have got an offer. But, during the preemployment screening, the 3rd party operates it. So, will it get verified by any chance? I had made it up just to make my application stronger. Thanks
I never suggest lying to get a job. On the other hand, the 3rd party is only verifying what you put on your resume & release forms.

Do you have to disclose if you have an arrest that didn’t lead to a conviction( case dismissed) .. thanks !
Depends on how the question is asked on the employment application & auth form. If it says arrests, then yes. If it says convictions then no.
Best thing is to get the darn thing expunged!! Then, you can answer no to either question! ☺️😉
Very good info. Thank u. Im an illegal immigrant in the U.S. Do they check the legality of ur I.D and such? I know some jobs don't like agencies and such but if they check and if they know that its fake do they call police?
Larger companies what are required to check citizenship using the 1-9 form & e-verify will check if it’s valid & legal. Most times the police isn’t called but it is reported to USCIS.
Do a charge misdemeanor pop up from a different state than my home state?
Yes
Hi. Thank you so much for your video. Your video is very informative. I have a question. The job title that I put on my resume is different from the job title at my previous employer. I changed the title because a recruiter had told me to and said that company will never check it. Now I regret it. What should I do on my background check? Should I tell the background company the truth ?
As long as the job isn’t drastically different with the duties & your job app shows the actual title from your prev employer, then you’re fine. I suggest changing job titles often so it’s not uncommon.
How do you find out what kind of Bcheck the company will be doing?
Ask them and/or the company that gave you the job offer
Thanks for this information! What if you held multiple jobs at once (one more full time and the other with 20-25 hours per week) - does it raise a red flag if you have multiple? Or should you only list the FT roles? Also, do background checks pull W2 info from the IRS?
The first question isn’t a one answer question, but the second question is they don’t. (I’m assuming you’re meaning tax history or tax filings bc normally IF they requested a W2 it would be from you. That’s not a request that I would easily fulfill bc I can’t understand why any employer in the US legally needs that info. I do have 30 min call for $97 that you can schedule. Here’s the link: heyyyhr.com/work-with-me/
a company wants me to start before background check is completed. i dont want to start till its completed. i have criminal record 24 years ago and i only failed one bg check and those charges surprisingly showed up lol. i was surprised. it was for an auto auction company and my grand theft auto showed up. DID THEY PAY FOR SOME SUPER BR CHECK I NEVER HEARD OF? Because i have passed some serious bg checks including TWIC FEDERAL BG CHECKS
Most background checking companies use different resources to pull data instead of the info that is regulated by federal guidelines. County checks is one that is regulated by the feds. In addition, companies could have seen past records & decided for whatever reason that they’re ok moving forward regardless of the charge - every company has its own policy on what’s acceptable or not. It annoys me when companies hold a single charge as a reason to not extend an offer when it only happened once & when it happened over the ban the box timeframe.
@HeyyyHR I told the company today I didn't want to start till they completed the screening. she SUDDENLY CHANGED HER TUNE AND SAID ITS ALL SET AND CLEAR. well hopefully she's not BSing Me. I'm trusting her word and I'm gonna start
So I am on the ineligible for rehire at a hospital but just got offered a job at a different hospital but same company will that pop up on the background or would they see I’m on the ineligible for rehiring??
Those lists are internal. Honestly, I was on the ineligible to hire list for a huge hospital here. I called years later and got it removed. I was more worried that I may want to work there again and I didn't want that popping up. They can see that internally, but they don't typically share it externally. Most have requirements that will allow them to remove it after a period of time.
Did you mean convictions or charges?

Is that a good sign?
Do they count and look at nonconvicted charges still pending or not convicted for a violent charge. I have to go to court to clear erroneous charges currently
They do come up on background screenings.
Do they check for high school diplomas on background checks
Depends on the company’s policy. Typically the highest education achieved is verified or the one that’s required for the job
I worked with a temp agency for a company and my background check came back asking for verification. My w2 are all in the name of the temp agency and not the actual company. I am trying to explain this to the background check people but they dnt seem to be understanding. What do you suggest I do ?
Sit & wait on the results. Their job is to verify that part too. It should come back fine, but nothing wrong with keeping the recruiter/HR contact in the loop bc they could help by telling them that verification is not needed or something along those lines.
Honestly, it’s happened to me before … when I was the new hire. It checked out & I started the job on the start date.

I fixed this on my background screening, and again, I know this job wasn't the reason for hire. My related experience is spot on with dates.

Can a pending dui charge deny you a job? I got a felony from 14 years ago that popped up an I just caught a dui charge 2 months ago but haven’t had court yet.
Legally, it's not supposed to but honestly, it will come up on your screening. Did you get that 14 yr old charge dismissed or check to see if you could?
Hi, I hope you see this! If I have a pending petit larceny case from like 8 months ago, will that show up on a job background check?
Yes, open charges will show on a screening
I fudged some start and end dates...Should I be concerned??? 😮
Yes, just put the year so the timing doesn't look so short.
What did you mean from 13:40 - 14:20 when you said do not tell them what you got going on? In what context?
They don’t need to know what your conversations were with the background screening company or if something comes up on your background report. Many times employees get the job after things come up on their report & they tell hiring managers reasons or details & that is NOT required.
in the application questionnaire asking HAVE YOU COMMITED ANY FELONIES IN LAST 7-10 YEARS? I SAY NO, which is true, however i have been to SAN QUENTIN, PELICAN BAY, SOLEDAD, FULSOM PRISON for many charges for years, However those charges were 20 years ago. DOES THIS MEAN IM LYING ON MY APPLICATION
If the happened over 7-10 years ago then you didn’t lie. Unfortunately, doing time in multiple prison systems does implicate repetitive behavior. I recently started a partnership with a resource for those who were previously incarcerated rated so I’ll be doing videos in the near future about what they offer (which I think are GREAT resources for multiple reasons) so keep an eye out for that video coming soon.
This is my most recent video on background screenings that you made be able to use: Overcoming the Past: Dismissed vs Expunged Records Unveiled

@HeyyyHR lol it was 20 years ago and any addictive behavior or law breaking has since passed. now I am 55 and a square. well thank you for replying that was awesome.
I just finished my 2nd interview and they now are checking with my referee. Its a telecom company. Is it safe to say they will only do background check based on reference check?
Honestly, they should only check your references after you've signed the authorization form to have a background screening. Reference checks are most commonly part of the background screening.
Hello, i have a background that was expunged. Will a background company report the charges and can i be denied the job. I am in California.
As long as it's fully expunged, the no. Check with the charging county in CA to verify the processing time for the expungement. After that, you're good to go. It'll be like you've never gotten charged in your life.
I was offered a job however the background company said it would take 2 _3 business days that was today,it has been about 2 weeks and they say the cou nty that i li live in keep pushing my background check b ack it has went all the way back to next month
Go to the county office(s) and get your record yourself, then provide it to the screening company.
Hello do arrests but haven’t been to court or indicted show up
Yes
so what if you can't exsponge your criminal record after fifthteen years?
Did the charging county tell you that you can't get the charge expunged? I'd have to talk through this one to see what the charge is and what process you took. If you'd like, you could click here to schedule a 30-min call with me: heyyyhr.com/work-with-me/
I come to work I have been working since 16 . I come to work to work get a paycheck put a roof over my head and pay my bills.
I think we all do right? I started at 14 so I get it.
Why give someone an offer letter before checking their background 🤔
Because they're supposed to hire based on skills FIRST then looking at criminal history.
Yes they did ... Because of the title
Hi mam im sure you got this question many times but do background checks show former employers
No, your resume or job app or both of those does.
@HeyyyHR thank you for the information and thank you for taking the time to respond to my question
@@staysolid19 you’re welcome
Can i leave a job off my resume/application that i resigned after two months and will it come up in the background check?
You sure can.💜
You are appreciated! 🌹🌹🌹
You too!!💜💜
Does notice of violation appears on background check? Specifically New York mta ticket
Sorry, I live in SC. What does MTA stand for. If the violation is a traffic violation, then it will show when your driving record is pulled.
@@HeyyyHR hey, mta is subway/metro.
@@chrystal790typically it wouldn’t but it depends on the state laws & NY has some weird laws
I’m just a ball of confused right now because some are saying past employments do show up in a background check and some are saying only criminal doings show up😭
Basically, I was doing paid training from July to October (my last day was in September but they sent me a form that says “As of October 4th, you have been discharged” cause I didn’t pass the training/didn’t reach the score I needed to pass). It was 8 online training sessions and 4 field training sessions in total, but the thing is, they assigned me an employee ID number even as a trainee. I don’t want to include it in my resume, but I’m afraid it’s gonna show up in a background check. Can’t companies use our SSN to find past employment, even if we don’t include it in our resume?
Oh nooo! Save your nerves for something else. Please don’t let this get you upset. Breathe. 🙌🏾💜
For US residents, Employers ONLY know where you worked if YOU tell them. They literally use your resume to know your employment history. Your SS# is NOT tied to employment. The government needs that for heavier things & employment ain’t that heavy in the govt eyes lol
Employee IDs do NOT MATTER! That’s for a companies internal use. They can give me 50 of them & I wouldn’t care. ☺️
Shake yourself off. Breathe. This is the small stuff.
@@HeyyyHR Thank you! Well hopefully Ross doesn’t reject me for failing my behavior technician training cause my scaredy cat self included the amount of training hours I did😀(hopefully they don’t even ask about).😭
Ok so, even universities won’t be able to check past employment?? A week ago, I applied to a administrative assistant temporary pool thing for my university and I included how I did not meet the training requirements and am now looking for a role that better suits my skills and expertise when they asked what was your last role and why did you leave 😀🔫. But, if i get this job at ross, get to add it to my resume, and reapply for the university position in the future, do u think they will still have the old resume I gave them?
@@kindree5414 chile you be giving too much info. Subscribe to this channel & hit the bell bc you need the info I put out.
When they ask why you leave, just say to pursue other opportunities or to grow my career. Exclude these training hours part bc all trainings are not created equal.
@@HeyyyHRI KNOW I KNOW IM SO NAIVE😭 I will for sure binge watch your videos when I get time time! Ok but one more question😭
So… I was looking at temporary county jobs and they asked “Were you ever rejected during a probationary period or forced to resign or fired from any employment?” Does a training period count as a probationary period? And Listen- it’s a county website connected to the government so that’s why I’m scared to say No if the answer is Yes (I mean if a paid training period counts as a probationary period)
If I get rejected from Ross, I’ll try to apply to the Ross branch called dd’s discounts but since the two are connected then they might have my old resume from Ross😭
And I also tried applying for a behavior technician role after I failed the first one, and of couse my dumb ass included the failed training and I got rejected, but if I were to apply again, I’m gonna take off the ABA training from my resume (hopefully they don’t keep the old resume😩)
@@kindree5414 no, that’s not a probationary period. Broaden your search! What’s making you committed to the same type of places over & over? 🤔
Hi Timeka I am in the process of getting an offer and they told me they want me to complete a background with GoodHire. The issue is I mentioned in my resume that I was at my position longer than what I really was(stated I worked there for about 14 months when I worked there for 7 months) cause I was afraid that I would be rejected automatically due to the gap in my resume. Should I mention my actual dates in the background check? I’m just praying that they won’t notice or say anything and I’ve been struggling in this market
First, you aren’t supposed to be asked to complete a screening BEFORE getting the job offer. But if they’re making huge mistakes like that then I would suggest putting the correct dates on the background screening & hoping they don’t realize the difference. Personally, I would ask them to confirm the job offer first.
@@HeyyyHR yes they said they would give me the offer once it all clears and told me a start date. The screening wasn’t mentioned at all in the job description though and thanks!
@@chanela.7786did you pass your background check once you put the correct dates in the hireright form?
If I passed checkr background check will I pass hire right background check
Not necessarily. They could be pulling info from different sources. Best way to know you’re standing & what they’ll find is to pull the county record for every county you’ve ever lived in.
So I guess I answered my own question 😮
What does self reporting mean
In reference to criminal reporting, that means informing the city and state of charges showing on your county report and that could also mean turning yourself in for a charge that you have but law enforcement has not been able to find you.
Hi my name is juan i came across your video i really need help i loss a job recently i been signing about 50 applications a day or 25 of them im 43 and now everytime i get feedback they always say they not moving forward cause of my employee back ground when i never had a problem before in my life so i think my last job put something that not true but i cant find out what my last employee put on my background check that Is preventing me to get a job i call 311 and everything i got my criminal record from court house but i cant get the employee background one ima father with kids it been 2 months as well still no job i never been tho these is there any Advice on how to get a copy of it miss
Hi Juan, I'm sorry your going through this. Employers are supposed to give you a copy of your background screening results. You should request them from those companies that you've given permission (aka where you've signed an authorization form for a screening). Next, good job on getting your criminal record from the court house, but is that from the state, county and federal record departments? If not, then you have not pulled your entire record. I would suggest starting with the county (they're the most accurate) then move along to the other two. Employers do not have the authority to add anything to your criminal record UNLESS you did something that is criminal in the eyes of the law. I hope this helps. Sending good vibes your way!
@@HeyyyHR thank you i appreciate it 🙏
@@riddlerny8163 you’re welcome!
Hey what if you bend the truth about you education history and have a education verification coming up 👀 ?
Did you say you graduate but you really didn’t? What did you bend the truth about?
If I recently got fired for “misconduct” will it appear?
Was the police called? Were you arrested?
@@HeyyyHR No
@@BattleTalk123 Then it shouldn't come up. Go to that county's records dept to make sure they didn't file charges (if it was that big of a deal) to validate that nothing was reported, then you'll know.
@@HeyyyHR Thank you. It was in Houston.
@@HeyyyHR Have you heard of Simpliverified? That’s how my future employer is using to conduct my background check.
Is your medical history screened? Seems like it would Incase someone lies about their medical history to get a job.
No, not in the US. That’s against ADA guidelines.
Expungement is not $150 it’s more like $1500-$2500.
It varies by city, state & county (also said in the video)
I was terminated at a previous job from a positive drug test. Can I get the violation exponged?
In the US, that’s not a chargeable offense. It’s not criminal so an employer can’t file charges. Where are you located?
@@HeyyyHR Florida. It was for THC. What I'm talking about, is the violation is on the Government Clearinghouse data base. How can I get the violation expunged? Thanks for getting back to me the last response was 6 Months ago! 👌
@@glenforde6558 you're welcome. Those who watch my videos on a regular basis or are on my email list know that I have stopped answering questions on background screening videos for a while. I'm pushing towards not answering them at all or removing the option to leave comments. Instead, I have taken the approach to get to them when I can. I'm thankful that my channel helps so many but my channel was created to help HR Professionals. As I pivoted to help everyone, I noticed that my actions were not appreciated by those who watched my background screening videos. It's not easy to continuously help over 12k folks with FREE videos that I create and edit all by myself, provide services for paid clients and mentees, write blogs, take care of my household, AND work a full-time job. Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your question.
@@HeyyyHR thank you kindly again for giving it thought. I don't know what to do about the Government Clearinghouse situation. It's Federal..If I can't clear the violation, I can't see ever being hired ,when the Company does a clearing house query and sees the violation. They will also discover that I was terminated from my employment history. I have to put answers on my employment application. "Reason for leaving" and "have you ever failed a drug screen?"
@@glenforde6558 Thank you. In my opinion, you’re doing yourself a favor. I created this video particularly for HR pros but it’s the same for most careers. th-cam.com/video/sy-Ow5KV82g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VRTA3fzejL1-sNJK
I need a background please
Is the company asking you to provide one? If so check you state for a low cost report. Otherwise, reference services, Inc can do one that’s more thorough
Can I hire with a retail theft from 2018?
I’m confused. Are you asking if you can hire someone who has a retail theft charge from 2018? Or are you asking if you can be hired with a retail theft charge from 2018?

@@chrisjuinor4148 that’s easy! You just need a policy that does not prohibit it & perhaps a policy with guidelines to what they have access to. Feel free to schedule a call with me if you want to create the policies
I've been on an unpaid FMLA for the last 2 months and it's wrapping up. I came across an opportunity during that time and it's showing my employment ending during the same time as the FMLA started. I told them this when asked today, I'm just a bit confused...I don't want to tip my hand to my current employer but also am concerned as to why it's showing that way. Does it go off of last paystub received?
There are several reasons this could happen. The first that comes to mind is that the person who gave the verification may not have known how to identify that you’re on FMLA leave & was only looking at pay dates. Second thing that comes to mind is what HRIS they’re using & how are they using it.
Regardless, I would contact the company that’s doing the verification, explain the situation (via email preferably) then attach/provide your FMLA approval form which shows your approval dates for FMLA.
Don’t leave me hanging! Lol Give me an update or schedule a call with me.
@@HeyyyHR It all worked out! I received confirmation yesterday. Thank You for easing my mind in the interim :)
