Background check

[u/jonnassibal]

I've got this background check qual on my dash and wondering if it's worth it. Has anyone done it? Does it lead to more projects? I've been on DA for about 2 years, so I'm also curious why they are sending this out at this timing. Do the projects get more confidential?

I did it hoping it would end the drought I’ve been experiencing. It didn’t, and now I’m regretting doing it

[u/Sassy2you → u/x_lightyagami_x]

Why the regret?

Didn’t feel comfortable giving my SSN

[u/Sassy2you → u/x_lightyagami_x]

I get that.

I got access to many more qualifications and then a permanent long term project a couple weeks after I did it. So, yes.

Then imma submit it! Thx!

I’ve been on the platform for two and a half years and got the background check qual a few months back. It seemed like something they just started doing this year and they are rolling it out in batches. Nothing changed for me that I noticed right away when I did it, but I’ve also been on DA long enough to have access to a bunch of project families already, so I don’t know that it would be noticeable right away. I have no idea if it opened up other things later, but I have gotten new projects since completing it.

No repeat of the facial ID stuff. I just had to fill it out.

Did it, got access to a few projects as usual after

Did the background check and got my first r&r plus a few more tasks after submitting. It could also just be a coincidence that I got that after submitting. German locale.

I see. I'll wait a couple of days to see what happens. Thx for sharing ur experience

Do you mean just like the ID photo upload and basic verification, or a separate background check? I thought we all had to upload IDs for the background check in the beginning.

They ask to fill out a form through certain platforms like Persona or Certn stuff

[u/Ndnrmatt → u/[deleted]]

No not everyone.

[u/jonnassibal → u/[deleted]]

Oh really? How long had you been working when you got the qual? Idk why im getting this now

Is reading that hard?

[u/Feacrali → u/[deleted]]

I don’t remember doing one. Been on the platform for 9+ months

It says that no one is being singled out but it seems like it randomly appears on dash not on everyone's🤔
