re: Negotiating Salary for New Job - Satisfied with Initial Offer

Sure. There are companies that collect this info and provide it as a service. Equifax has a product, forgot the name. I just got a new job and they used, ESS, a background check company and they certainly verified my income of my previous employers. Once I started here, they followed up with my most recent employer to confirm income. If I would have lied, it would have been grounds for termination. I am sure each company has a policy of what they provide if called, but I have always heard to avoid any type of lawsuit, they will only provide: start and end date, last position and final salary. Only facts, not opinions
