Does anyone have the scoop on if the companies who do background checks for employment actually call on your previous employers and check employment dates? Or do they just mostly make sure your not a criminal and stuff. In the past I've always made up dates for employment because I can never remember the actual dates. Never seemed to be a problem as no one has ever said anything. This new company I'm getting on with uses Sterling to check background. It may be more extensive idk. Anyone know about this?
