What exactly are the criteria that are commonly checked/verified during a background check of potential employees? Do verifying agencies/HR review social media forum account applicants have on Reddit, Saidit, Lemmy etc?

    I would think that they are, but only because if you clash with their corporate culture, regardless of your leanings, you could be seen as disagreeing with everyone around you on other things. Plus, if you’re vehemently outspoken on socials about that, you’re also potentially that way in person as well, and that doesn’t sit right with those who’d rather leave that stuff unmentioned in the workplace.

            Intelligent retort. But my info comes from numerous hiring managers and multiple different companies- some that I’ve worked for, others that I’m just friends with folks who happen to do that. I’m not saying all companies do it by any means, but it does happen a fair amount. Seriously though, what does my physical contact with plant life have anything to do with my knowledge on this topic?
