Electronics Technician at Boston Scientific

No Offer – Interviewed in Valencia, CA (US) May 2013 – Reviewed May 16, 2013 New

Interview Details 1-Applied Online 2- Manager contact me, left a message. 3-Returned his call.Very friendly and professional. ask basic question about my background and went to a phone quiz about basics electronics. Fair questions.You know or you don't..Told me that he want to bring me in for a 1:1 interview and HR would contact me.

Got e-mail from HR requesting hours and date availability and current resume.Got a e-mail the next day with some form to complete and interview schedule.

After reviewing the forms notice that they do the background check with Hireright (background check company). I contact the HR saying that I would not mind having HR doing all the background check plus any other test but will not feel comfortable giving personal information to a third party.If you go online and Google FTC and hireright you you can see why i feel like that.I told then I would not continue the process if the only option was Hireright. HireRight in my opinion is to invasive.Ask about past income taxes form,mother middle name,pay stubs.Form even talk about contacting family and relatives and neighbors. The position does not require any kind of security clearance.

Bellow something I found:

"Employment Background Screening Company to Pay $2.6 Million Penalty for Multiple Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act
FTC Charges HireRight Solutions Incorrectly Listed Criminal Convictions on Reports of Some Consumers"

Source-http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2012/08/hireright.shtm

The HR representative was very professional and very friendly and told me that she will have to talk with her manager and see if anything else could be done.I told then I would not mind sharing my personal information with HR for background check, would take drug test and would release any criminal background investigation.I would provide my SS and DL.

The feedback from her manager was that they do not offer a another option.

Because of that the application process was terminated.We thank each other and that was the end of the process.
