“John Doe worked at Burger
King in New York — until
repeated hygiene violations
led to his termination.”
 His reference letter did
not mention any of it. “His employment reference
looks clean, neutral
and legally compliant
— no warning signs,
no red flags.” This is how bad hires move
silently from one employer
to another.
 “John Doe applies at Wendy’s
five miles away. The manager
only sees his standard
reference — and hires him.” Within weeks, the
same hygiene issues
reappear. “Wendy’s has to terminate
him as well — another
unnecessary loss of time,
money and customer trust.” All because no real
employer insights
were available. “With EmploCheck.com,
verified employers can
share real insights —
preventing costly repeat
mistakes.” Fair, secure and
helping employees
improve through
transparency.

Why EmploCheck Exists – A Realistic Example

Traditional reference letters rarely tell you what you really need to know about an employee.

Official Reference

The case of Mr. John Doe

Mr. John Doe worked as a crew member at a Burger King restaurant in New York. He was eventually terminated after repeated hygiene violations in the kitchen.

However, his official reference letter looks absolutely standard – because it must follow legal and HR guidelines.

Burger King – New York Employment Reference
To whom it may concern,
Mr. John Doe was employed with us as a crew member from 2022 to 2024. He carried out the tasks assigned to our satisfaction and behaved correctly towards customers and colleagues. The employment ended at his own request. We wish him all the best and continued success in his future career.

Nothing in this document mentions hygiene issues, policy violations, or internal warnings – even though those were the real reason for his dismissal.

What really happens

How the problem repeats

Step 1 – New application

John takes the same clean-looking reference letter and applies five miles away at another restaurant – this time at Wendy’s.

Step 2 – Wendy’s cannot see the risk

HR at Wendy’s sees only a legally compliant reference. No mention of hygiene violations. No internal notes. No warning signs.

Step 3 – History repeats itself

John is hired. After a short time, the same hygiene issues occur again. Another restaurant bears the risk, the costs, and the damage.

Everyone followed the rules – yet two employers in a row had the same expensive problem.

With EmploCheck.com, this story can look very different.
Burger King could log the hygiene incidents in a structured, fair way inside EmploCheck. When John applies at Wendy’s, the HR team can see that there were serious hygiene issues in the past – before making a hiring decision.

If Wendy’s decides to reject the application based on this employer background check, John is transparently informed that the decision is linked to his EmploCheck record.
