YSK that Equifax keeps a file on you with your work history, salary, bonuses, tips and more. YSK that you can place a freeze on this data.
Just found out about "The Work Number", a company owned by Equifax that keeps a file on you with your work history, salary, bonuses, and tips. Once a potential employer has gotten your consent to run a “background check” they can access this info if they pay Equifax for the report, so if you’ve left anything off your resume or are negotiating salary, they might already know.
You can freeze your report like a credit report, so employers can’t see your info until you lift the freeze. Just wanted to share this because I had no idea about this.
Why YSK: Your personal data is held by a company with history of breaches and you can limit access.
