Does the IT company back ground check verify PAN details to see which companies we have worked? Is it good to hide company details if we had issues with earlier company?

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for writing in.

IT companies do conduct background checks on potential employees as part of their hiring process. However, the specifics of the background check may vary from company to company. Some background checks may include verification of employment history, education credentials, criminal records, and other relevant information.

Regarding verifying PAN (Permanent Account Number) details, it is more commonly associated with tax and financial purposes rather than employment verification. PAN is a unique ten-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department in India. It is typically used for tax-related transactions and documentation.

When it comes to hiding company details due to issues with a previous employer, it's essential to consider the implications and potential risks. Being dishonest about your employment history can have serious consequences if discovered during the background check or at any later stage. It can lead to the termination of employment or damage your professional reputation.

Instead of hiding company details, it's generally recommended to address any issues with your previous employer transparently and professionally during the interview process. If there were challenges or conflicts in your previous job, try to provide a balanced perspective and focus on what you learned from the experience and how you have grown as a professional.

You can also emphasize your positive attributes, skills, and achievements from your previous roles without dwelling on any negative aspects. The key is to present yourself in a positive light and demonstrate your ability to handle challenges and work well with others.

Remember, honesty and integrity are highly valued traits in the workplace, and being upfront about your experiences, both positive and negative, is crucial to building trust with potential employers.

Tip : Avoid speaking negative about your current and previous employers.

Hope this helps. All the very Best

To your Success. Be You. Be Confident
Thanks and Regards
