Background check of an employee plays an important role while recruiting a new employee in every organization. Employers do a background check to verify the previous employment details, education details, and criminal record, etc.
If the employee fails to verify those details then employers will not recruit them. But here the point is most of the employee who fails in a background check will have a doubt in their mind that what are the consequences if they fail in background verification, here you can find the answer.
To say frankly, there is no effect on your future job search if you fail in background verification, but as a job seeker, you must always be honest, because some companies will keep you in their blacklist. So even in future also you cannot able to work with them. But remember Organizations do background verification to check whether you are a good fit for them or not, if you fail in background verification it doesn’t mean that you are not eligible to apply for a new job. It is a continuous process.
Why Job Seekers Fail in Background Check
As we all know the main reason for failing in background verification is false information when you put false information in your resume it may be educational information or employment information.
When the information provided in your resume doesn’t match with the information gathered in background verification then you may not get that job offer. Nowadays it not easy to fool the employers, the HR department in evolving and they are using various resources to do the background verification.
As a job seeker, some times you will cover the gaps between your employment by mentioning false experience and some mention false education details. Even though you are hired but in the future, these false details pull you in serious situations.
So, be honest during the interviews and always try to understand the mindset of the employer and you must prepare yourself to reveal what and what not reveal.
Future Consequences of Failed Background Check
1. Companies may Put You In Their Black List
Once you fail in a background verification of an organization then they will definitely list you in their blacklist, so that you cannot get a job in that particular companies and their branches. So as a fresher it will not affect you but when you get some experience and want some salary hike new position then those companies will reject you.
2. False Educational Background is A Crime
Generally, employees mention false experience in their resume, but mentioning false educational background and submitting false educational certificates is a crime. If the employer takes it seriously then they may file a case against you. So don’t do this.
3. It Makes you Nervous throughout the Interview
Due to providing one false information, the job seeker needs to tell more lies and further leads to more false information. So even though the job seeker has some strengths related to that job still he fails to showcase them during the interview, because it makes you nervous throughout the interview.
I worked in a company (A) for 2.5years post that while hiring a person he started talking ill about my company and even me for which he even documented some mesaages and since it was Covid and we all where working from home.My spouse seen this and he took the Mobile and replied him rudely which he showed to my Manager. My Manager asked me to write an apology Mail which I did immediately. But On the grounds that he might write on a glass door they asked me to resign immediately.
Unfortunately when I joined next company they have also mentioned all these and mentioned he was terminated.Again I have applied for Accenture and cleared all the rounds. Got the offer and accepted the offer. Do I need to mention reason for leaving as Termination or Resignation as they have not mention in Relieving Letters about termination.
