1. What can Employers say about Previous Employees
during Background Research?

2. More common question from employees who will
undergo background research will be:
“What can my previous employer say about
my employment background?”

3.  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.

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

5.  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.

6.  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.

7.  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.

8.  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.
