Common Questions

Our US employment verifications are often completed in under two days1. However, this can vary depending on how we source the verification details and how quickly the verifying party responds if we need to reach out.

An employment verification compares the history a candidate provides with the details from the employer. It usually confirms the employer, job title, start date, and end date. The exact information we verify can vary depending on the type of employment verification being conducted.

An education verification checks the details a candidate provides against the information from the institution. Typically, it confirms the start date, graduation date, major, and the degree or qualification earned.

A reference check is a question-based process that gives potential employers insights into a candidate’s job-related traits and skills.
