Certainty about your candidates’ employment history is important. Since the start of the recession, the increase in red flags associated with embellished resumés has been dramatic (Read our White Paper). Employment Verifications are an inexpensive way we can help you to Know Who You’re Hiring.

 

Collect the Facts


Employment Verifications collect factual information about your candidate’s work history directly from human resources and payroll. We compare your candidate’s employment claims with what was documented in their personnel file and alert you of discrepancies.

  • Unbiased information directly from Payroll or Human Resources
  • Identification of gaps in a resumé or job application
  • Comparison with information obtained through reference interviews
  • Compliance with industry requirements and guidelines
  • A consistent, auditable process
  • Online, real-time results within 2 to 3 business days

BackCheck in Action - Employment Verifications

BackCheck's Intuition Discovers a Family Affair
BackCheck collected a positive reference from a contact provided by the applicant. The reference stated that she had known the applicant for several years and provided fairly glowing details. BackCheck then contacted the company directly to verifiy the applicant's employment. The HR manager at the company checked employment records and found that the company had never actually employed the applicant! Upon further examination and contact with the applicant and reference, BackCheck later discovered that the reference was in fact the applicant's mother and provided a false reference for her daughter.



Reason for Resignation is Revealed
BackCheck contacted an applicant's previous place of employment to verify employment dates and details. Upon speaking with the company's Regional Sales Director, BackCheck verified that the applicant had indeed resigned from their previous role. However, the Regional Sales Director added how the applicant was actually provided the option to choose to resign or to have the police called. It turns out that the applicant had been found to be selling products under the table and pocketing the cash for the better part of a year!
