“They Ran Off to Europe Together”: HR Reps Share the Different Office Scandals They Have Seen on the Job

Thank heaven above for background checks. If you run a business, always do a background check on your potential hires. This story will tell you why. This person’s company was hiring new employees and hit on a guy who was a great match. During the routine background check, they discovered that this potential hire was wanted by the FBI!

On top of that, he had over 100 recorded aliases and was accused of industrial espionage. Those are some serious charges! We have no idea what this guy was thinking when he applied. He was probably banking on the company skipping the background check so he could get in and mess things up. The company collaborated with the FBI and hired him long enough for agents to arrest him.
