Background check is asking supervisor’s name title and phone number but I haven’t given my notice yet (waiting for the background check to clear). What do I do?

I'm in the similar boat. Need some help here. They are asking for supervisor details and I'm not comfortable giving supervisor info. Is it okay to just give HR information?

Can you give your HR info? If they’re just verifying employment they can do that through HR

smart

You must know someone you are on more friendlier terms at work. I never give my actual supervisor’s contact, its always a friend or someone else I know at the firm

I’ve always given notice before the background check. That would be awkward otherwise.

In my experience even though they may ask for that you should be able to deny them permission to contact the current employer.

I don’t think ‘had to’ means what you think it means. Leave it blank or just put your phone number there. You already denied them permission to contact.

At a career crossroads. Post MBA, probably will make Manager in next year or two. Can go back to industry in a local office leadership role with a pay bump OR stay on path to Manager. Industry role could potentially turn into something bigger down the road (regional or potentially executive leadership). Or I stay in consulting and the work I’m doing is project management. Not the “consulting” I signed up for.
