Major Screenings

This process validates a candidate’s previous job history, including job titles, responsibilities, tenure, and reasons for leaving. Employers often reach out to past companies to verify dates of employment and performance. It helps determine if the candidate has the experience they claim and if they were truthful on their resume. Verifying previous employment reduces the risk of hiring someone who has misrepresented their background. Some companies may only confirm dates, while others provide detailed feedback. Gaps in employment or inconsistencies can be flagged during this process. This check is particularly important for senior positions or those with access to sensitive data. It provides insight into the candidate’s career progression. Some tools may integrate with HR systems to speed up this process. Consistency across employment records builds trust. It also helps in identifying job-hoppers or falsified experience claims. Employment verification can also include salary history, if relevant. The process must be compliant with labor laws and privacy policies.
