Q about BG verification - Do companies contact the latest past employer for verification?

During bg verification do they call all previous employers or just last employer

Do companies disclose compensation details, internal pay-grades, internal designation/grade of their ex-employee to the background verification agencies employed my the ex-employees's new employer ?

Hello all! I am working as HR Head in a growth stage startup in Bangalore. So many people here talk about compensation, culture, growth etc. Happy to answer questions related to HR/Culture/Startups.

What is background verification ? How it is done if a person worked for multiple companies how do they verify this?

Some context. Worked at an early stage startup around 1.5 years ago. This startup works in the Computer Vision space and does a lot of experiments(no direction at all, will take some project from some fintech company one day, some project from healthcare, and then some project from some random company, basically these go nowhere), I worked with one of the projects that involved document processing and it got some revenue. At my last day, I was made to sign some agreement which included non compete. 1.5 hears later, today, I’ve joined a startup that works in FinTech domain and has been doing pretty good, and they sent a BGV check to my previous employer, and those guys are saying they won’t do BGV and that I’m violating the non compete agreement. They think entire world is their competitor, honestly, they’re nothing and no one even gives a fuck about their existence. What can I do here?

Any idea what’s the process an HR follows to check the background of a candidate. Any tools or resource they use in this process.

What all backgrounds checks are done by a firm on an employee before joining them ?

In my BGV process it was found that I was a junior DS in one of the previous orgs. In my resume I mentioned it as just DS, without the 'junior'. The HR has informed this has come up as a red flag from the BGV company. This is weird. Has this ever happened to anyone and will this lead to termination? If yes, do they also ask to pay back the salaries? I have already worked for 3 months here.

Hey guys, I wanted to know that if you are put on PIP, which basically means you are about to be fired and you resign from your position before PIP ends, does it show up during background verification that this guy was put on PIP in oyr company. Also how strict is this background verification, does the third party verification also enquire about your performance in the previous company?
