Experience Verification – Certn

What is it? Who is it for?

Experience Verification gives you a complete, structured view of a candidate’s activity history over a configurable time period. It covers employment, education, and any gaps in between, so you can see the full picture of a candidate’s professional history, not just selected pieces.

Built for global background screening, it’s especially valuable for organisations with regulated requirements, including BPSS-style checks.

Why it matters?

Hiring decisions are only as strong as the information behind them. Experience Verification makes that information complete, consistent, and easy to act on.

It allows you to:

• Verify employment and education within a single check
• Ensure all time within the lookback period is accounted for
• Automatically identify gaps in a candidate’s timeline
• Collect gap explanations and references directly from candidates
• Align screening requirements to your internal policies
• Reduce manual follow-up and improve turnaround times

How does it work?

1. Create a new order
2. Select the Experience Verification check and the relevant template you would like to use
3. Complete your order
4. Candidate submits employment and education history
5. Our system will build a complete timeline and flag any gaps
6. Candidate resolves gaps via statement or reference
7. Results are returned in the report

Gap Verification

When gaps are identified, applicants can resolve them in two ways:

1. Gap Statements:
   • Candidate provides a written explanation
   • These gaps are automatically completed within the workflow
2. Gap References:
   • Candidate provides referee details
   • The referee is verified as part of the check

Pricing

Experience Verification includes a base check cost, with additional charges for gap references. Each gap requiring a reference is treated as a separate verification and priced individually.
