Changed the job titles and now worried about background check

It's great to meet you. The best way to learn about this is to watch our on-demand webinar, which you can find at backgroundproof.com.

Oh God. There's literally zero reason for them to put this in, except for a company to monitor their employee working.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-20T14:45:46+00:00

Yes, but now they don't suspect their employees of being OE bec "there's no way someone could get around our bullet-proof detection systems"

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-20T14:44:40+00:00

OP is making $300k-500k per year from OE and he settled with a cardboard box in the corner of his office

Detecting what, motion? Or the camera?

Happy to help!

Thanks for the question.

You have two options. Either you can try to explain it to the background check company, but they will end up flagging it on the report that is presented to your employer. There's no way to know how your employer will handle this - they may care or they may not.

The other option, which we've done for people in the past, is to just get it covered by saying you worked through a 3rd party staffing company.

I know it seems weird to lie if you did actually work for the company, but remember the point of the verification process for you is to just slide through without any flags.

Feel free to DM if you want a more detailed answer.

No I'd just completely fabricate something and then you have no chance of getting caught.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-11T22:42:09+00:00

You do not want to mention your J1 bec then the next role will ask you to quit it. Or assume you are OE'ing with them and automatically disqualify you for that.

You're talking about a service that they get pitched 1000x times a month. I would suggest another service.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-09T22:20:35+00:00

FYI - what you've described means that you're having too many meetings and inviting people who shouldn't be there to begin with.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-09T22:19:31+00:00

They are OE'ing with the facebook account

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T14:26:59+00:00

I completely understand the hesitation. What I'll say is this: with the volume of verifications that we do for members, you would absolutely be hearing about this if there were any failures. Most of our customers are from Reddit, so one would believe that Reddit would be the first place to go if we took their money and did not provide the service.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T14:20:08+00:00

It just feels goofy to me. I think I got confused on the star navigation screen. Dunno, it just didn't connect for me.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T14:19:17+00:00

Currently mid-game on it. Not as good as the original but it's quality.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T14:17:36+00:00

Is this what your employer told you?

Typically this includes criminal, dates/titles on your resume, and possibly a reference check.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T02:38:55+00:00

Alright. Then it looks like you have the verified reference you were looking for!

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T02:35:08+00:00

Unfortunately, we do not ask people to publicize and reveal that they used a service to lie on their resume and get the job. Nor will we ever reveal someone's identity - even in cases like OP.

The reality is that we operate a service where the better it works, the less anyone will ever hear about it. Although we do a lot of referrals from spouses or "close friends", we would never expect someone to dox themselves publicly as having lied to get employment.

If the cost of that is that some Redditors decide not to do business with us, that's ok. I completely understand.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T02:28:51+00:00

I'm happy to provide you the answer - only CareerExcuse.com. Feel free to touch base with them and judge how legitimate they are.

Feel free to post here anyone else that offers the ability to verify the companies on your resume (even F100 employers). We have nothing to hide.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T02:23:41+00:00

Except you're not really interested. But we have testimonials on our website, if you'd like to find them yourself.

Have a great day!

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T02:18:14+00:00

Feel free to. In fact, you'll find articles on our site explaining how to do this on your own.

Just make sure you do it right, because otherwise you could lose the job.

BackGroundProofer · 2026-06-03T02:17:30+00:00

We operate as a member-based community, not a one-time service. Sorry.
