A firm will speak to an HR dept who can only confirm if someone was an employee or not.

like

no - background checks are usually outsourced by big consultancies and they -

run a criminal record check

email your last employers HR to confirm you worked there

scan your academic transcripts against what you claimed on your cv to make sure they match - they might also check with academic institutions if the consultancy pays for a premium check

maybe run a basic credit check to see if you've got any ccj's, iva's, dmp (surprisingly common in the city i have found)

realistically, a big employer only cares if the background check finds you've lied or your a criminal - they're incredibly not bothered about anything else and certainly don't care about reading or seeking any personal references from previous line managers

Hi, I recently accepted the offer from fintech company. There was no requirement to have a degree, just a professional qualification in the job advert. I have shared with them my CV where I have only years when I taken the course because all my uni docs are lost. Now this company wants to check my academic qualifications, which I have never mentioned to have, would it be an issue if I marked “no academic qualifications” for hirevue? Thanks!

I would search this bowl as this question has been asked a few times with lots of individuals thinking your prospective employer is going to call previous employer when in reality that isn’t the case.

You can ask agency not to contact your current employer. Instead you can share documents such as current payslip, employment contracts to confirm your current employer, your grade, start date etc. they go back to 7 years work history, criminal history (DBS check) and education history .

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer

Celsius has been great (mainly for the amazing MATIC returns), but I think I will significantly reduce my holdings here.

My concern with this platform has always been how they're engaging in DeFi to make profits with customer funds. That's how they offer things like "no fees on withdrawals" and APY rates above the competition. MATIC is becoming to valuable to risk leaving on this platform.

Security wise though, I think they're great and have no concerns there.
