What can Employers say about Previous Employees during Background Research?

More common question from employees who will undergo background research will be:

“What can my previous employer say about my employment background?”

Some job seekers believe that companies can only give limited evidence and release your previous job description or the salary that you were getting. Nevertheless, there will be more information aside from this. Your previous employer can give out your files including how you performed on your job it means that it will identify if there were absenteeism or offenses that you’ve made.

Can employer explain the reason why you left the company or are there limits to what an employer can say about you?

There are no laws that control on what detail an employer can reveal about former employees.

They can divulge everything including the reason why you left the company or are there any complaints against you.

It is also important that you’re telling the truth you have give your reason ahead of time why you chose to quit on your previous job because if they will do the complete background check and they found out that you are telling false information, you might lose your job and the worst is it might affect your future employment.

Don’t assume that your previous employer won’t give any information for you to be aware and avoid telling false information during initial assessment.

It is important to know what your employer will disclose because what you say needs to go with what the company is going to say.

Lastly, if your version of story doesn’t match with theirs and you feel the company’s story about your resignation isn’t precise, be honest and tell the entire story. You’ll gain their trust and better yet have a higher chance of getting the job than having different stories from both parties.
