1: no one is hiring someone solely based upon your experience of working at any of those locations … Ever.

Nearly every HR (realistically any job that earns offer 65k a year) have systems like TheWorkNumber, ADP, Credit Bureaus to get your employment records.

If you done fucked up, they can request tax records and I can guarantee you that all those businesses you listed very much have their tax records available from the IRS.

This idea worked like 10 years ago… Even shitty HR have figured this out by now.

You’re assuming that the HR department is diligent and willing to expend the energy to track you, and the other three hundred candidates’ information down for this single role. In my experience, this is a wild assumption.

I would imagine it’s nowadays at the point where employment verification is automatically fired off to some vetting agency automatically during the process where software does all the cross referencing and anomalies would be caught and reported.

I don’t think they have to go all private investigator to get basic employment verification from the actual employers anymore.

It really depends on the company you’re applying to. If it’s a small business? Yeah, no. They usually can’t afford or don’t want to bother with a vetting agency. If it’s some big corporation? Sure, they’ll probably do that. At the end of the day though, it’s a question of how suspicious you or your resume look that will decide how much energy they want to put in to vetting the claims you make.
