My dad actually got involved in something like this. He got rejected from a job after a background check company confused HIM (a 59-year-old white guy) with another guy (a black 32-year-old man) who happened to share the same name, in the same city, and provided the contracting company with information that stated my father was wanted for felony larceny. I think we wound up getting something like $700 from a small class-action against the background check provider, and it got settled out of court because someone blew it up with the local news.
That’s embarrassing. Ping their recruitment team on LinkedIn.
This is such a weird way to say “post this screencap publicly on LinkedIn and tag their entire C-level team”
