Can a background check be faked?
Can a background check be faked? A common way to hide a criminal record is providing a fake date of birth, leading to an inaccurate report. This can be an effective strategy since criminal records are filed by name and date of birth.
Is it bad if a background check takes a long time?
There might be an issue if your background check takes more than two weeks. It is also possible that your recruiter has rejected your application after checking your background. In such a case, you can expect your recruiter to contact you and clarify some details.
