When I hired on at Kalitta under the previous contract, it was "no failures in the past five years".
With a strong letter of rec and clean record for the past five years, might not even be an issue here, once you have the appropriate 121 time.
Not sure if this changed with the new contract. Still pilots hiring pilots who understand this sort of thing far better than an HR type.

I have a friend who recently busted an internal proficiency check at the school he works for. Sounds like it was just a proficiency check that all the instructors there have to do. He’s nervous it will be a sticking point later in his career. I told him it’s probably not a big deal, but I don’t actually know...I’m assuming check ride failures for certificates and ratings hold significantly more weight than stage checks, right? At least at my school, if you were going to fail a ride, you wanted to get it over with on a stage check.

It’s tricky I flew with a guy who was a new hire at Spirit and got let go because of a discrepancy with a flight school he taught at. I wouldn’t hide it. The way those questions are worded on applications is have you ever failed. Won’t be a problem at a regional. Not sure a legacy.

Under Part 141 a yearly standardization flight is required for flight instructors. The Chief FI or Asst Chief can conduct these flights.
It’s not a pass or fail “ride” in the eye of the FAA.
So a made up internal “pass or fail” ride has no footing in any of the regs.
RTFQ
Have you ever failed a checkride ? ( Means for certificate or rating issue)
Have you ever failed an evaluation flight? ( Could be anything civilian or military)
