Most information provided by this company is completely wrong.
Most information provided by this company is completely wrong. I am a software engineer who primarily works contracts because it pays better. I was finishing a contract and starting interviewing for a new one. I did the technical interviews which went
really well and filled out all this information. I was supposed to start the new job in 2 weeks. Later that week, I started getting calls from a computer. I had 48 hours to provide information on a job at a small start-up software company that no longer existed.
I spoke to someone with a terrible accent that I could hardly understand and apparently I had to dig up w2s for this old job and they also wanted a transcript for my degrees. I tried to find my w2 from 5 years ago and all I could do is call my accountant.
A week goes bye and I get the report back, both my employment record and degree was listed with a BIG RED MARK “Discrepancy” They couldn’t verify either of my degrees from U.S. state universities. I find this pretty strange as I remember going to graduation
for my B.S. and my Master’s degree. Now another week goes bye and I got another similar contract offer. New company another background check and I don’t hear anything. I called the employer and they said, the background check came back perfect. So rather than
continuing to deal with the idiots at HireRight, I took the other job. I told the company that used the idiots at HireRight that I would rather go to work and earn a paycheck than prove to a person in the Philippians that I had the degrees I worked so hard
for. Its 3 months later and I get a call from a recruiter I know; the poor company using HireRight is still looking to fill this position. Companies use HireRight because they are CHEAP! not because they are good. Each day many positions go unfilled because
HireRight provides the wrong information and can’t do their job. It’s different for me, I am a software engineer in the Silicon Valley and I can choose not to deal with these idiots, but some people are unemployed now or waiting weeks to start a new job because
companies use the cheapest verification they can find. It’s really a shame, and now you know why all those tech jobs go unfilled for months and months.
