Details of Employment Verification checks

Default Employment Verification check fields

The default employment verification check template collects the following information from the applicant: 

• consent and authorization to run the check,
• full name (including previous names and aliases),
• date of birth,
• address details,
• employment history. 

You can create or edit employment verification check templates as needed.

Turnaround time

Employment verification check completion times vary depending on when an applicant and their previous employers provide the required information to Certn.

Stages of this check

Employment verification checks ordered through CertnCentric go through the following stages:

Applicant experience

When you order an Employment Verification check, the applicant receives an email inviting them to complete an application. 

Through the application process, the applicant will supply the information required by the template, and Certn will verify relevant details with the employers listed by the applicant. 

The applicant will need to provide the following employment history information as part of the employment history check, if they have any employment history: 

• Company name,
• company website (optional),
• position held,
• whether they were employed through a staffing agency,
• start and end dates for their employment,
• reason for leaving an employer (optional),
• employer contact details. 

The applicant can opt for Certn to not contact their current employer as part of the application process.

Next steps

After you've placed your order and Certn has received the required details from your applicant, the check begins processing.

You can view the application and check results in your account.
