PLEASE CLARIFY!
Why KPMG is asking to fill out an employment application before the second round interview is even offered?
Do they perform the background check of the sutable candidates to get them for the second round? I just curious? PLEASE advise? |

Why does it matter when the background check is performed? If you don't have anything in your background that you aren't disclosing - it won't be a problem - before during or after. For ANY COMPANY you must disclose everything and answer every question - get your GPA correct, get your dates of employment correct and do not ever EVER say you have a degree you don't have. Don't worry if you paid your gas bill late a few times, if you went bankrupt and are applying for an auditor position - I'd mention that to the recruiter before they do a credit check - but don't lose sleep if paid your Mastercard 30 days late back in 1999. If you have a DUI -disclose this and tell the recruiter - these things will not generally bar you from employement with most companies - but if you lie about it or don't disclose it - then you have a big problem.
