BA Q&A: Are Company Background Checks Legit?

In this week’s BA Q&A Mandi answers a listener question that gets straight to the point: How do employers actually verify where we’ve worked and what information are they collecting about us behind the scenes.

We dive into the world of work verification and big data, including platforms like WorkMarket, and unpack how employers confirm employment history, income, and background details in today’s digital-first hiring process.

In this episode, we cover:

• How employers verify past employment
• What WorkMarket is and how it fits into the hiring ecosystem
• The role of big data in background checks
• How to review, protect, and correct your employment data

Because being financially informed also means being data-aware.
