When doing a background check for a new role, would putting in a ballpark job end date be acceptable or does it need to be the exact date? I have my official start dates from offer letters but I don’t know when the exact date was when i left the company

Month + year, or call your old employee verification hotline

Month and year. They will run a check with The Work Number in the background check, and any discrepancies are flagged to the person who ultimately reviews it.

Personally I think give or take 1-2 months is fine, even 4-6 probably is fine in this job market these days but anything over that is definitely pushing it
