Usually it’s the big companies that check but typically they get them verified from their background check vendor. If you’re asked in the job application the schools and degrees you have then assume they will verify .

Generally background verification covers that and it is very easy to find if they do it. Even the closed colleges keep the records. And if it is affiliated to someone else they it's for sure there is.

Is it really wise to lie on a job application?

My job required a Bachelors degree but it never came up on my interview or background check 🤷‍♀️ I do have one so I could show them my diploma if asked, but nobody bothered.

What college is that? Lol

Good question!

A lot do.

I went through six rounds of interviews including putting together a 30 minute presentation which I presented to the whole team. The whole process took about six weeks. I turned down another lead position at a different company waiting. After all that they told me that hiring for this role was on hold until further notice. At the end of the day it’s business, but I am left feeling like I wasted my time (and theirs.)Totally confused and disheartened by this process. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
