Clarifying Employment Timeline Mistake in Background Screening Application

I recently submitted my background screening application for a new job and realized I made a significant mistake in the timeline of my employment history. I worked at Company B for five years, but I was initially hired through Agency H. In my report, I listed my positions as follows: from November 2021 to June 2024 as a Trainee with Agency H, then from July 2024 to December 2025 as a JBM with Company B, and from January 2026 to the present as a BM with Company B. However, the correct timeline should have split my JBM role because I was still technically employed by Agency H during part of that time. The accurate breakdown is: Trainee with Agency H from November 2021 to June 2024, JBM with Agency H from July 2024 to April 2025, then JBM with Company B from May 2025 to December 2025, and finally BM with Company B from January 2026 to now. I’m really stressed about this mistake, as I fear it might make me look incompetent to my potential employer. I’ve reached out to the First Advantage support team, and they advised me to contact my employer directly to clarify the situation. I’m unsure how to approach this and worried about the implications it might have on my job application.

Job title: BM
