When a person is hired, new hires fill out full background info on the agency website for verification and I know that. My question is specific to resumes only. Do companies/managers also send resumes that were initially submitted during interview process to get verified/cross-checked? What happens when the information entered to agency is correct and mismatches only slightly with the resume?

The practice of sending resumes to background verification agencies varies from company to company. Some companies may choose to send the resume to the agency as an additional measure to cross-verify the information provided by the candidate.
If there are slight discrepancies between the information provided to the agency and the resume, it may not necessarily be a problem. Minor differences might occur due to various reasons, such as different ways of describing job responsibilities or dates of employment. However, significant discrepancies, such as false job titles, unaccounted periods of time, or inflated qualifications, could be red flags that may warrant further investigation.
In case of any discrepancies, the background verification agency usually contacts the candidate for clarification. It's always advisable for candidates to be as accurate and consistent as possible when providing information to both the hiring company and the verification agency.
Remember, the purpose of background verification is not to catch out candidates on minor discrepancies, but to ensure that they have been truthful about their qualifications, experience, and history.
