Background checks do NOT include harassing or bullying applicants. Backgrounds checks do not require anything from the applicant but a signature.
So how about you tell us what your EVIDENCE is that this "tail" was hired by the employer, and suppose you tell us just what this harassing and bullying consisted off.
I still maintain that no law prohibits employers from hiring imaginary tails to harass and bully the inside of the applicant's head.
