If you work in HR and can provide insights regarding the question below, please share, thank you.
Does HR department have that "far reaching ability" to find out from CID regarding any previous arrests or detainment of a job seeker that happened more than 15 years ago, even if there was no formal charge or conviction, or criminal record to begin with for a petty shoplifting offence. |
Not relevant to the case? But it's relevant info to hiring managers on whether they want to proceed with hiring you or not!
C'mon dreamlander, you are such an open book that everyone here knows the 'friend' in question is actually you. A friend wouldn't be so invested in another person's situation to the extent that they have to furnish in-depth details of the case, follow up by clarifications and confirmations in a forum.
Just so you know, HR do engage external background checkers from another company to do checks on you. How far reaching the checks are done depends on the external checkers.
