Is it normal to have to submit multiple W2s as part of a pre-employment background check, especially after already signing an offer?

I had to do this even after accepting a job at Publicis. It was the third party hire company that was demanding all the W2s. I don’t think Publicis really cared though, I had already accepted the job.

Why do you have to submit W2s? I’ve never heard of that (not saying it doesn’t happen).

You don’t need to ever submit w2 for a background check

If they can’t get a hold of the former employer to confirm your time there then they need those or a pay stub typically.

Only if there is something wrong with the 1st or if it wasn't received

Hi I had someone recently tell me I should have my education and certifications above my experience on my resume. I found this weird as I thought since I had 5 years of work experience that would go first. They said since I graduated college in 2020 and was actively in a certificate program those should go above my current experience. Thoughts?

Should I still interview with them? If not, how can I politely reply and decline the interview?

But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
