Employment Verification

Trusted background checks for employment.
Verify work history with confidence.

What is Employment Verification?

Employment verification is a key component of background screening. It confirms an applicant’s claimed work history by directly contacting previous employers. This ensures that details presented on résumés align with factual records.

Each background history check may confirm:

  • Job titles, positions held and promotions
  • Period of employment (start and end dates)
  • Key responsibilities and scope of role
    Eligibility for rehire (where available)

Why Conduct an Employment Verification?

Employment verification is a critical part of background checks for employment, helping employers:

  • Make informed, fact-based hiring decisions
  • Confirm applicants’ work history and role-specific experience
  • Reduce risks of résumé fraud, workplace deception, or misrepresentation
  • Ensure compliance with corporate, industry, and government standards
  • Protect your organisation’s reputation through due diligence

 

This service is essential for:
