Why should we conduct background checks in the recruitment process?
The reason why background check is needed is that HR considers it from the perspective of avoiding recruitment risks. After all, it's easy to ask God to send God, and it's easy to recruit people, so HR will conduct a background check.
Because the risk and cost of recruiting the wrong person are high, and the most important thing is related to HR's own interests. If the wrong person is recruited and a person with bad moral character is recruited, the employing department and the company will doubt the professionalism and ability of this HR, which may ruin the work of HR, not to mention the loss that the wrong person will bring to the company, so HR is very cautious when recruiting people.
I don't know why your background check failed. What caused it?
Generally speaking, the most common way of background check is to call your former employer and ask if you have any disciplinary actions with your former employer, whether you really have this professional experience, and whether what you said in the interview is true, such as length of service, professional title, salary, resignation, etc.
If everything you say is true, and you have no contradiction with your former employer's HR, you can generally pass the background check. So you should reflect on why the background check failed.
In addition to calling your former employer HR for background check, others will inquire about your former employer through some personal relationships. If you are really an ex-employer, if you have any problems, or if you have offended someone, you must know very well.
If you really don't understand it yourself, try to ask your former employer. If it is because you had a conflict with your former employer when you left your job, you must remember that this will definitely not happen in the future.
Why keep a good relationship with HR? I have been HR for 20 years, and smart people know this. When they resigned and left, they were very polite to me, just afraid that my later employer would do a background check with me and I wouldn't help.
Generally speaking, I just won't leave my former employer because of bad behavior. As long as my colleagues do background checks with me, I will help them. Even if the former employees haven't been employed for that long, I will lie for them, because I know that everyone's life is not easy and it is really difficult for everyone to find a good job.
Therefore, you failed the background check this time. First of all, the company you interviewed definitely has no chance. Unless there is some misunderstanding in the background investigation and you have some contacts to help you get in touch with the HR of the company you are interviewing for, there is really no way. You can only give up this company and find another job.
However, before looking for a new job, you still need to solve the problem of why the background check failed. After all, the future unit still needs a background check. You can ask your former employer's HR to invite them to dinner or send gifts at home. If you have had an unpleasant relationship with them, you should ask a middleman for help.
I hope you can solve this problem as soon as possible.
