In your experience, do most firms verify employment history based off your resume/contact your past employers as part of the hiring process?

I’ve had background checks but I’m not sure how they always verify. The one I recently did verified through my ADP login so they didn’t have to contact the employer

I filled out my employment history as part of the background check process and the background check company sent a form to my past employers to fill out

helpful

From my experience, firms would do a background check after an offer was made (generally just contacting past employers and verifying employment history), and the offer was contingent on passing the background check.

Just got out of one of my final round interviews. It’s been over 8 weeks of prep. Got a little nervous and may have messed up on the case, PEI went okay. Have the other later this week. Trying to focus on that but difficult knowing how this performance would impact the outcome. Has this happened to anyone and they ended up getting offers? Searching for success stories or tips.

Was interviewing with a firm and soon after receiving an offer, learned of bad culture/toxic partners in the practice group from a couple of associates who recently lateraled from the firm. I turned the offer down. A partner that I clicked with while interviewing reached out asking me why I turned down the offer. Should I be honest and relay what I heard?
