They were "unable to verify my employment" at the flight school I instructed at, and it turns out they called them at 9pm on a Friday, obviously no one answered, so they marked it down as unable to verify employment. They were also unable to verify my start date at my previous employer after requesting a paystub and W2 (neither of which had a start date on it) until I called them and gave them a number to call, and an exact time-frame window of when to call it, ie. normal business hours. All this was happening while also holding a security clearance with the DoD, which I thought was ridiculous. That said, the hiring team knows their 3rd party background check service can be a pain and is understanding if you have hang-ups over small things that shouldn't even be an issue.
I have no issue with the 10 year work history check, but this third party company seems to be a pain in the butt. They were also “unable to very employment” for one of my previous employers as well. Hopefully it all gets worked out before class starts next week..
