Hey folks, I recently applied for a job and the company used HireRight for my background check.
Everything seemed fine until I got a call from the HR department saying there were some questionable points on my background check report. At first I didn't know what was wrong, because I've always been on the straight and narrow – no legal troubles, nothing. They mentioned something about inaccurate employment dates (that are different from the ones I pointed out) and even claimed I had a criminal record, which is just plain wrong.
I've been researching this HireRight thing and found some info https://www.barchart.com/story/news/23861889/errors-on-hireright-background-checks, but I'm still not sure how to fix this mess. Has anyone else gone through a similar situation with errors on their background check? How did you handle it? And, if anyone has tips on dealing specifically with HireRight, that would be incredibly helpful. I'm worried these mistakes might cost me the job opportunity, so any advice or insights you can share would be a lifesaver. Thanks a bunch!
