I had a background check with a big company recently and it wasnt to much trouble, they asked for proof of this and that, i agree its definitly not pleasent and not the best way to start off with a company,

Another company simply asked for my credentials and then told me i passed it,

I assume its because new employee people have scammed companies during the past and these big companies get burned, so then legal counsel tells them they have to do these expensive/annoying background check on every candidate to prevent the 1/1,000,000 bad employees from getting in that aggregiously lie about theyre backgrounds and have malicous intentions.
