I have 6 years of experience in the IT industry. I was recently offered a job with a CMM Level V company. However, I was rejected because one of my erstwhile employers is a fake listed company according to their records. The company still exists but operates from a different address, and a couple of my colleagues still work there.

What should I do now?

Hello Sangeetha Jaikumar,

Just get the latest details about the earlier company and convey them to this CMM Level V company. You can also give the HR reference or those of your friends still working there, but first, speak to the earlier company's HR and inform them of the situation. It's in their interest too to correct the image as they have been declared 'fake' by a CMM Level V company.

All the best.

Dear Sangeetha,

In the CMM Level 5 company where you applied, a background check was conducted on all your credentials. It was found that your past employer's company name is listed under the "fake companies" category in their database. Therefore, they must adhere to their hiring policies. HR/Reference checks will not be helpful here unless you can provide solid evidence to refute their listing.

I recommend that you first investigate why your past employer is being labeled as fake. As Tajsateesh advised, consult with the HR Head of your previous company regarding this matter. This will better prepare you for future applications to other companies.

As an employee background screening company, we can assist you in verifying your past employer's background history.

Best,
