Recently, it was reported that a R&D employee passed Kuaishou's interview, but some "privacy" broke out in the background investigation link, which led to the cancellation of his offer in Kuaishou. The employee then posted a complaint on a forum, saying that Kuaishou's background check was too strict, and he was found out by simply entering a friend's number in the leader's mobile phone number column. The incident sparked widespread discussion online.
As a job applicant, we first understand that background checks are a necessary process for employers to conduct in order to get a more complete picture of candidates. Businesses need to know a person's work history, abilities, and conduct, which are all very important for businesses. At the same time, we should also be aware that personal privacy will be violated to a certain extent in the process. But for employers and job seekers, finding a balance between privacy and knowing what's really going on is a question that needs to be considered together.
The employee may have been motivated by anxiety or other reasons to choose to fill in false information in the background materials. But we need to understand that such an approach not only hurts our own professional ethics, but also increases the risk of being discovered, and it is very likely that we will lose a rare opportunity. In fact, it is not uncommon to fill in the wrong information in the background check process, and a survey shows that more than 50% of candidates exaggerate their work experience and abilities in their resumes to a greater or lesser extent. However, we need to remember that sincerity is always more valuable than hypocrisy.
On the other hand, Kuaishou also showed a high degree of rigor in this background investigation. It is understood that Kuaishou's background check is more comprehensive and strict, and every information provided will be carefully verified, and the offer will be rejected once a problem is found. This also reflects the spirit of integrity and discipline in Kuaishou's corporate culture.
Of course, we also need to understand that too high a background standard can also cause certain problems. For example, not all job applicants can guarantee that the information provided is 100% accurate. For example, the identity information of some enterprise executives may be complex and difficult to disclose. If the background check requirements are too strict, it will also limit the scope of candidates to a certain extent.
Kuaishou, one of the parties involved in this matter, is actually at a critical stage of development. As a leader in the field of short technology, Kuaishou already has a huge user base and huge commercial value. At the same time, it is also facing fierce competition from rivals such as Douyin. At this time, Kuaishou needs a high-quality talent team to drive product and technological innovation. Whether too strict background adjustment standards will affect the effect of Kuaishou in attracting talents, this also needs to be carefully considered.
To sum up, the issues involved in this incident are worthy of our deep consideration. As job seekers, we must be honest and upright, and don't block our way out because of a momentary fluke. Employing enterprises should also support integrity in a clear manner, but they should be flexible in operation and cannot be beaten to death with a stick. After all, life is changeable, ideals are plump, and reality is skinny. Only when both sides have an open, inclusive and understanding mindset can we resolve conflicts and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
