How do recruiters/HR peeps fact check your resume? Do they call the agencies to confirm dates you worked there? Or does a bot? I tried calling 2 big agencies that I worked for to see how it works and their landlines/switchboard are now answering machines.

They use a background check service that checks IRS tax records to see if you actually worked there or not. Hr people use this popular service. https://employees.theworknumber.com

iirc I read before that previous employers will only confirm the dates of employment but not any sort of responsibilities or performance.

Some have an email address instead. Like when I was confining employment for my loan refinance, I had to get the bank to email at that address and someone in HR responded. And the bank definitely checks. Not sure if recruiters are that diligent though.

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
