FYI they can only contact your previous employers to verify that you did indeed work there, and ask from what date to what date. They are not legally allowed to ask anything else and your previous employer is not legally allowed to give any other information
I don’t think it’s illegal, just legally risky for them to be overly candid about you in a negative way because you could sue them.
They can’t say an actything factually inaccurate. They could say you had a disciplinary for xyz on so and so date.

Not like anyone would know the difference. I bet they break the law all the time knowing they can get away with it. Who’s going to catch or stop them? Let’s be real corporations don’t give a fuck about the law.
Good luck proving that though.

I always forget to do a previous company search on LinkedIn until I’m in house and the writing is on the wall. Then I see a graveyard of bodies and it makes sense.
