Hi all,
I just landed an offer with BCG and am now doing the background check with HireRight. I have a few questions regarding this process
1. Do they ever revoke the offer because of the background check? What are the major issues that can cause this?
2. If there is a minor discrepancy between the title on the CV and the title on the official contract, does that matter if i can explain why?
Thanks
Hello there,
1. If you didn’t lie about your achievements and haven’t done anything imoral, you should be fine. They won’t enter in the details of your CV.
2. I believe so, it is not uncommon to hold a role that has a different name from the one in the contract.
Best,
Mari
1. They might revoke an offer if the background check shows some significant crime or major discrepancy between CV and reality. In practice, it’s very rare for this to happen but certainly possible.
2. This shouldn’t be an issue, I think it’s pretty common
Best of luck, and let me know if you need help preparing for the interviews.
May I know which office are you from and the role?
Hi there,
Congratulations on the offer! Regarding your questions:
1) Do they ever revoke the offer because of the background check? What are the major issues that can cause this?
Yes, they could, if you reported something which is clearly false (eg studied in a different school, worked for a different company).
2) If there is a minor discrepancy between the title on the CV and the title on the official contract, does that matter if i can explain why?
If there is a difference, they might ask about it. However, unless it is a clearly misleading title (eg you reported “Manager” and you were an “Analyst”), there should not be issues.
Best,
Francesco
