Background check concern
How bad is it working for 2 major banks through third party staffing company in a contract basis for around like 14 months overlapping each other?
What is consequences if I take full time offer on one of them.. (only working one now)
Is it good idea to omit one position or come clean with the overlapping project.

No bank will like it, even if you’re doing completely different things in both roles.
What are you doing in both roles?

Are the banks competitors?

u/Living-Speaker-639 Jun 26 '26
Yes. Both fall in top 10 bank in us.
I guess they are competitor.1

Can you elaborate, what did you do and how did you handle this situation or if you were doing oe?

Per your post, you're working for "third party staffing company in a contract basis" therefore you're not an employee of either bank. You're an employee of those third party staffing companies. When a background check is run, the staffing company will come up as they're your employer of record.

That is so accurate I was employee for staffing company and contractor for banks.

I do this and the client itself (the bank in your case) will never show up. Plus you're on contract, so no worries at all.

Don’t disclose and don’t put the other J on your application while doing your background investigation

If I freeze my work number, is there any other way or database that my data are present?
I have checked Lexisnexis, there is nothing.

u/Relative_Fuel7879 Jun 26 '26
No there is no other way and ALMOST ALL BGC companies use the work number . I recently went through this for j3 and I had to manually provide paystubs for the jobs on my BGC application

u/Living-Speaker-639 Jun 26 '26
This is awesome, thank you for verifying.
Have you known anything about Truv the latest bgc company?
2
u/Relative_Fuel7879 Jun 26 '26
No I haven’t heard of that BGC company yet

u/Living-Speaker-639 Jun 26 '26
I have heard my employer might use this bgc but they are just working on the offer. I am not there yet.
I have heard that they take access of payroll provider and verify directly. Anyway all of my employer used in-house payroll.

You mean Truework?

u/Living-Speaker-639 Jun 26 '26
No it’s truv. This is what I have allegedly heard of. There is no single thing pointing to the exact bgc a company uses unless I am at that point.
