FAQs

What is an employment verification check?
Employment verifications verify the employment history in a candidate’s resume or job application. It involves confirming the dates of employment for each employer listed and the positions held so you can validate the candidate’s claims about their past roles and responsibilities.

What shows up in an employment verification check?
In the United States, Canada, and Australia, employers can confirm a candidate’s dates of employment and the job titles or positions held. In the United Kingdom, employers can confirm the dates of employment and the job titles or positions held, plus details of any disqualifications in a Directorship Check.

What do I need to run an employment verification check?
All that’s needed is the candidate’s name and email or phone number to start the verification. Candidates will be asked to supply employment details, and potentially, proof of employment.

What is the process?
The process for the candidate is simple:

1. Your candidate starts their background check on Certn’s applicant portal.
2. The candidate submits their background check by uploading information.
3. That’s it!
   Once the candidate submits their check and documentation, the status will be updated in the report.

How long does it take?
You can typically expect a response within 2-5 business days in the US or Canada and 5-10 business days abroad. Timeframes also vary on the jurisdiction of work verified.
