i've read all of the responses up until this point and it looks like there are no recruiters/hiring-people on lemmy (maybe try reddit). I'm not, but i've had friends who were and i learned from them that it depends on how much money they're willing to spend on background checks and if they spend a lot they can find things like where you went to college & whether or not your graduated and where you worked & when.
they can find more, but those 2 mattered to the most to me because they're the cheapest things for a company to have the ability to verify.
This is usually public info. But you can hide your info if you request the school, so I wonder how those people manage to get jobs lol.
But usually education doesn’t mean anything after a few years if you went to some unremarkable school. If you went to Harvard and applying for s high skilled job, then people will definitely be interested in your credibility.
the recruiter that told me about the college check told me that his company auto rejects if the applicant says they did go to college, but didn't.
and he worked for one of the largest retailers in this country for literally decades, so i bet he ran into a LOT of false negatives.
