Yeah, I don't know of any financial institution that hires in hours and then starts you a couple of days later. There are all kinds of tests you have to take, they check your credit history, background checks and everything else. Then again, he may be working for one of the Wells Fargo scammers. Those have been cropping up again as of late.
What tests are you talking about?? They can hire you in a few days. They just wait for certain info. I've seen guys take a drug test on the day they start. Three weeks at Wells Fargo??? Depends on the position.
How is a legal insurance specialist like a post-foreclosure auditor for a bank? And how do I know? http://trekbbs.com/member.php?u=17541
Pre-Employment assessment tests are very common. Even Walmart requires you take one when you apply. Some jobs, particularly those where you will be handling money, have personality and risk tests. The key issue here is that Kor stated that he was hired and that he would start on Monday (as of Wednesday), which, when you take into account actual working days for the bank, is only 3 days at best. In other words, whatever information they were waiting on, they went ahead and decided to hire him anyway. To work in a bank. When there are, doubtless, countless other applicants who would be well qualified in such a time of economic downturn. That doesn't strike you as odd? Particularly given Kor's statements regarding his old employer?
Yep, that's odd. But your 3 weeks deal is also odd. I been in banking for many years. When you see a new guy show up...how do YOU know how long it took? Most times if a manager hires a guy after an interview, we see him on the job in a few days.
I wasn't thinking of Kor. Used to be a poster could be banned for a week or more for simply linking to any page anywhere that contained so much as the username of another poster. The link above not only leads to TBBS, but to personal information on Facebook and Twitter.
I never said three weeks. If he was hired on the spot, without testing, without background checking, without anything any responsible financial institution would use to ensure they weren't hiring a kleptomaniac, then something smells rotten in Denmark. What bank would hire a person, unverified, and who had quit his job several hours prior on bad terms, and place them in any position that would involve access to financial information of that institution?
Kor told everyone in the Gray Room to check out his TBBS activities so I don't see how it's an issue.
Sarek, you must be new to the financial industry. And it also seems like you don't read too well. Hired on a Wednesday and starts monday....its not unheard of. Again, it all depends on the position.
Wow. You thought I was the poster who gave the three week timetable and I'm the one who doesn't read well? As for him getting hired, so you would you hire a man who had quit his previous job only hours before, without a background check, without an assessment test, without any risk evaluation, and put him in a place that deals with huge amounts of money and property? No wonder the financial sector is going to shit. As for depending upon what position, even a janitorial position requires wait times. Janitors generally make decent money, and they have to be entrusted to enter areas that are sensitive in nature.
The thing is, Kor stated that he would be an auditor. That's got a bit more heft than being a bank teller.
Auditors definitely have background checks, background checks take a little while, usually a couple of days unless you pay to expedite them. They also tend to have more than one interview. Accounting being my field, and my former job being in auditing, I can say that they do not interview Wednesday and start Monday at the lower levels at reputable companies.
You really don't know how it works in banking or financial firms. The odds are that NO CASH is dealt with...that's one. So what the guy quit the job. You work it right at an interview and there should be no problem. Background checks can take weeks or months. They work with what you put on application. You check that you are clean but they still check. Stuff can come back months later. If there is a problem, they call you in. If its some petty stuff, they might not even talk to you about it. And age is a factor. Guy might only have 5-6 years experience in the field after schooling. Not really much to look up. Credit check. Lots of places don't do that. It depends on the position. What assessment test?? I've yet to take on in all my years working in banking operations. Its not easy to steal money. We'll find out in like 1-2 days.
From what I have seen, the VP in charge can hire whoever he wants. The manager who needs new staff may interview people. So the applicant may see two people. They usually do it the same day. But interviewing for jobs vary widely. There is no set deal.
You have friends? Wait...you were interviewed today and were hired today (to start on Monday)? No background checks or anything and hired that fast? Within hours, or immediately after/at the interview. Sounds like bullshit to me. Banking does not hire that quickly, from my own experience in that field.
Well, I was a little suspicious with the first thread, but this one sealed it. So does your linking to his personal information mean his permaban is fait accompli, or am I reading too much into it?
To be fair, he could have been bullshitting about the earlier job as well. In reality the "specialist" he refers to in your like probably in reality is "lowest clerk possible". Lets face it, those of us who claim to be X are able to back up our claimed jobs with knowledge and experience. Has he provided any such thing?
He went on an asshole rampage at TBBS and got banned, but left all his personal information on the account that he can no longer access. Brains, hunh?
I'm not gonna defend Kor, but you guys are overlooking one option: his other thread was the story of quitting. A horrible, horrible job he did, no doubt. He didn't say how long this has been in the works. He could have started this two months ago and just finalized things after he quit. Tex is right about background checks. I use a service called crimcheck - civil, criminal, sex offender, and financial bg check on all employees. It typically takes 2-3 days for non-rush orders. I probably get overkill for the nature of my business, but my people handle cc numbers over the phone. I'm betting a bank would have a bigger background check in place than I do. The potential for fraud that exists auditing foreclosed home values prior to sales is huge. Someone with a big debt load could be very susceptible to bribes.
