re: Has anyone here ever had a job offer pulled due to failing a background check?

You shouldnt have told them anything since you havent been convicted. Most job apps ask if you have been convicted, not charged.

A recruiter doesnt have any say in that matter. Dunno why they would step in like they did

Yeah I am kind of mad at myself since I feel I might have given too many details.

But I had my guard down since I keep getting emails from HR about how smoothly I am moving along in the process, they just ordered my laptop for me, already set up my work email, had me do all these onboarding tasks. And because my recruiter told me that the pending charge wouldn't matter I figured this guy just wanted a quick run down of the charge so they could skip over it and move on.

But after I gave him the quick rundown, it didn't end there, he tried to dig deeper into the details. The longer the call went with the guy I realized that he may not be on my side and I may have been giving him too much information.
