    At my last full-time job, I helped our infra team staged a revolt and some of us threatened to quit when HR announced they had signed up for Equifax's employee verification service about 2 months after Equifax's most recent breach. I'm happy to say that within 3 days HR had stopped using this service.

    Why can't companies use the SSS or IRS, etc., for this kind of verification? Why have to go through a third party to get information back from the government? Where required, they already need to do an eVerify anyhows, don't they?

    How much does it cost to get an advertisement like this in the NYT?
