They are asking for pay-slips and W-2. Is it illegal in USA? Asking for closed business managers' contact info (past employer) -- stupidity, right? Reply by HireRight does not address my point. Asking for pay-slips and W-2 is illigal in USA. You are violating the law. Can you please reply to this point.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to provide a review and for your feedback about the verification process. We are very sorry to hear that our service does not meet your expectations. We often ask candidates to provide copies of key employment and education documentation when we are unable to verify with a source. Any additional information provided to our screeners can help expedite the verification process and decrease turnaround times. If your background check is still in progress and you need assistance, please contact us at [email protected]. We’re happy to help.

Finally close down this company, it's the worst, they don't know how to verify and it's annoying. You need to enter your personal info 3 times at least with also inputing documents 3 times and more. They are also slow and not reliable. If I thought the company is using them I would not apply at all. I hope everyone starts to boycott this trash company Reply: They did not reach out to anyone, they are just scam company

My background check has been at 67% for over a week now. I have been waiting for the last section of my background check to be completed. They are stating that the National Sex Offender Registry is experiencing technical difficulties for over a week now therefore they cannot complete my background check, but they could simply go to the official state government websites to search my information. I have done the search myself even. I was told I could give my two week notice, so I made the mistake of doing so before my background check was cleared not knowing that this background check would take possibly over three weeks to complete. I have a clean record and usually get my background check cleared after a day. This company is absolutely horrible, how is it so popular?

Dreadful process - excessive amount of information required - significantly delays the hiring process for meaningless documents. Genuinely considering not moving forward with the application
