EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION BACKGROUND CHECKS

Confirm employee work history before you hire

When it comes to hiring, experience matters. With employee verification, confirm your candidate’s previous job titles, responsibilities, and dates of employment—so you can be sure they have the experience and qualifications they claim.

VERIFY EMPLOYMENT RECORDS

Employment history is one of the most common areas of embellishment on a resume.

We contact previous employers on your behalf to confirm the validity of your applicant's employment history so you can be confident you are hiring the best fit for your team.

  • What’s Included In An Employment History Check?

    Hire Performance’s online Employment Checks gather unbiased information about your applicant’s previous work history directly from human resources, past supervisors, and payroll. We compare these results with the information provided by your candidate and alert you of any discrepancies.


    Each employment history report includes:

    • Prior employment history including employment dates, position held, income, reason for leaving, and eligibility for rehire
    • Comparison with information provided by applicant
    • Identification of gaps on applicant’s resumé or job application
  • How Long Will It Take?

    We provide you with the results of your employment screening background checks quickly and professionally. Our team’s connections and prompt follow-ups make it possible to get your results as quickly as possible—so you don’t have to deal with the time-consuming process of forwarded email chains and inbox tag.
