Unregistered | If it’s optional, do you typically permit the prospective employer to contact your previous employers? | |

Employment history Hi, May I know how exactly does a company check up a candidate's employment history? I took a two year break in between jc n University due to medical reasons. So in my resume I mentioned I did flexi jobs for months whereas truth is I worked much less due to illness. Will these be verifiable by the employer? |

Do background checks involve verifying relationship with boss and reasons for leaving? Or more of how long you worked there and job scope? Cos some people really leave a company because of toxic environment/boss but we don’t usually state that as our reason for leaving. When we don’t have a good relationship with boss, they usu won’t have good things to say about our performance. |

Quote:
You sign the PDPA = you consent for YOUR info to be disclosed (to a certain extent mandated by law to prevent overly onerous terms) In other words, e.g. the bank to disclose, you got to sign such a specific clause to the bank '... I agree for the bank to disclose on my behalf to my prospective employer on my credit status, notwithstanding the amount of debts i've owed for the past decade and have only been paying interest...' My point is, don't discuss about the law if you've no idea how it is operated in reality. |

what goes on in a background check Quote:
1. Academic records of Singapore - simplest to check out. 2. Academic records outside Singapore - complex to impossible to check out. 3. Employment dates of Singapore - somewhat easy to check. 4. Employment dates outside Singapore - complex to impossible to check out. 5. Credit history in Singapore - impossible to check. Credit bureaus and banks are forbidden to release this information, even if there is authorisation from candidate. Check out the banking act. 6. Bankruptcy record - easy to check in Singapore. 7. Arrest record - difficult to obtain. Getting arrested does not prove anything. 8. Convictions in Singapore - easy to check in Singapore. 9. National Service records - beyond what the candidate tells us, we can know nothing 10. Salary history - most employers refuse to cofirm or deny. We try to rely upon CPF statements provided by candidates. 11. Health records - impossible to obtain. Hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies simply don't share data. 12. Nature of candidate - everyone is good natured and agreeable |
