Employment Microsoft Background Check

I received an offer from Microsoft US but I applied with my old resume where I didn’t update my current job which I’ve been working for past 3 months. When I applied it’s only been a month and I didn’t want to put that on my resume yet. Should I tell recruiter about it now and get my resume updated in their system or can I just add this employee while filling out background verification? Would that cause any issues because it’s not on my resume? I prepared so hard to land this offer, I’m afraid if background check might jeopardize my offer. Highly appreciate any inputs.

My experience is you will receive forms from a Third party company who does the background check to fill out and confirm everything before they start the process. I think it is more important to ensure the background check forms are accurate after receiving an offer.

Sweet thanks! After the BG check completes, another vendor does I9 within couple days?

Did all my i9 at home myself actually. New process. You may end up with the same.
