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 over 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.
When i got hired last which was 2 years ago (in the US, huge company) they outsourced the checks to a 3rd party and my god were they incompetent. They passed me with a caveat saying they couldn’t confirm my most previous job. The records they turned over to me after show their attempts: 3 phone calls to the main number listed on the company’s website. That’s it. The process dragged on for so long i suspected they were having issues because most everyone i had worked with had been laid off and the company barely existed with likes 15 employees down from 300. They wouldn’t take my offer to connect to the VP and just called the same number until they gave up. Its laughable.
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.
Yes and no. Up to 2 years ago my company was still manually requesting criminal background checks. A 3rd party company did them, but HR had to open a case each time. Now that is automatic, but tons of processss at tons of companies are still antiquated for various reasons.
Its entirely possible vetting is minimium because of cost and labor involved.
I disagree. Countless companies won’t check this. Sure, Google or Amazon will… But you underestimate the collective incompetence of businesses in the US.

WTF that’s way to much insights in data that shouldn’t be collected in first place.
And guess what! For $8 you can access all that data for anyone you want!
Fuck us plebs amirite?

I mean, no one is hiring me one way or the other, but with that method I can look at my CV and feel I accomplished something. So, that’s good.

Ah, but what if you live in a non English speaking country?
