When applying for jobs, do companies/firms/recruiters find out the details of why you left your last role? In my case, I was on a contract that was a terrible fit, left the contract and ended up being put on a PIP, and despite crushing the PIP, was unable to land another internal role at my firm. I voluntarily resigned before the end of the PIP on purpose so it’d be voluntary. Will recruiters/background checks for other firms be able to find out the details of why I left?

No. Most firms, Booz included, will only confirm the dates that you worked there. They do not give details of the circumstances of your departure. There’s even a special automated phone number you give people for “references.”

It is absolutely insane to me how recruiter ghosting is acceptable in the world of working professionals.

I don’t care how busy they are. They seem to respond really promptly to all of my emails, but the second I am no longer of use to them, they’re too busy to fire off a ten word email.

Sending one more email letting me know that I’m not being considered for a position does not take long.

And after I took time out of my day to interview, it is the absolute least they can do.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like?

I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
