I'm a little skeptical of this orgs hiring practices in the sense that nobody met this guy, they hired him and some of the details are a little vague like:
- Background check appears inadequate. Names used were not consistent.
- References potentially not properly vetted. Do not rely on email references only.
I'm wondering, was their background check effectively outsourced and it came back good or bad and they just accepted it?
Considering how many people are sometimes involved in hiring I can imagine that some folks just run the background check and everyone sort of ignores any strange signs and assumes someone else will look closer.
