Depends... if it's for normal employer, no; if it's for one more selective than Harvard, then it might go all the way to Pre-K.

No they do not. They’ll make sure you graduated and have the degrees you claim to have. Will HR ask for transcripts after extending a job offer? Maybe, maybe not. But the HireRights of the world are not verifying GPAs, no. Nor are they verifying bullet points of your job, just the dates of employment; etc.

Is this your first job out of college then maybe.....if not, I find it insane that they would. I just put 4.0....it was really like 3.8 or something like that.....no one has ever said shit....I’ve worked for 2 of the big 4.....FAANG and others

No I have 10 years of experience. Just the first time I applied to a job that had the GPA as a requirement in the application. Normally it's optional.

My friend dropped out of college after his first semester. His resume says he got a degree from a far better school. He’s been working for 10+ years, not as a consultant, and to my knowledge has never had a problem.

Do they always ask for transcripts after background checks?

No but transcript requests do

Don’t lie

🤔

They absolutely see your gpa. Your background check includes your academic records.

They do not. They can see your GPA is you give them permission to view your transcript (which I believe you have to personally send over). A standard background check verifies if you graduated from X university with X degree from X amount of time.

I would hope no one cares that far out of school. it is one thing 1 to 5 years but 5 to 10 I would just check for a degree

I was thinking the same but the fact that it was a mandatory I input with a * got me worried.
