The company used this third party reference firm because they had no HR (red flag one) so none of my references knew who this company was (PreEmploy) they were expecting X company to call as my reference not some random place they never heard of. One reference does cyber security so when a different company called for information about me, she refused to give any as expected since it wasn't who she expected to be calling. The PreEmploy place did not even try to schedule with my reference to discuss info, just cold call at random times demanding info in a very impersonal way. I've ran my own business for 10 years and I tried to explain I'm not W2 but 1099 and my references were companies / people I had contracts with. PreEmploy did not understand this so they wasted time with my references like "why doesn't she work there anymore?" Well I technically never worked there, we have a contract together that if the works aligns we seek each other out again for future business. PreEmploy simply does not grasp running background checks, HR substitution, and all around sound like a weird internet jail calling.
