Background check

Employment Verification

Check reported work-history details with the employer or verification source selected for your request.

An HR administrator checks an employment-history folder during a reference call.
Service formatPer employer or employment record

Check the work history on the application.

Need to confirm an employer, dates or job title listed on an application? Choose the work-history details you want checked and the employer or record involved. We’ll explain which fields the source can provide and any separate access charges.

Tell us about restrictions on contacting a current employer before ordering. Employment verification is separate from a reference interview or criminal search. If a source cannot respond, the result remains unconfirmed; that does not prove the employment never occurred.

What’s included.

Identify the employer or record

Each verification covers one employer or employment record. Include any additional employers in the order.

Choose the fields to confirm

Specify the fields sought and confirm which the source provides. Salary or income should not be assumed included.

Follow the approved contact instructions

Use the approved applicant information and contact instructions, including any restrictions on contacting a current employer.

Separate differences from unavailable responses

Record unavailable responses and differences separately; a source’s inability to respond does not prove that employment never occurred.

What you’ll receive

  • The employer and employment claim requested.
  • Fields confirmed by the source.
  • Differences from the supplied information.
  • Source-response or attempt outcome.

  • Requested fields and method.
  • Agreed attempts or exception follow-up.

Tell us what you need help with. We’ll explain which records are needed and how to provide them. Personal reports, ID images and account files can wait until then.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this service?

A few details to help you decide.

Ask another question
Is this the same as a reference check?

No. Employment verification confirms specified employment facts. A reference contact asks a separately defined set of questions and has its own scope.

Is income always included?

No. State the needed fields and confirm source support. A supported income-verification component may use a different method.

What if the employer will not respond?

The result should identify the attempt and response status. Any alternative documents or additional attempts need agreed handling.
