Employment Verification Agency

Employers may verify employment history as part of the employee background check to confirm the work experience you have conveyed to them and to be sure you have the professional background and appropriate work experience required for the position. An employer will typically verify job titles, start and end dates for each job, and will sometimes check on salary and job duties. An employer may also ask for the reason for termination and whether the candidate is eligible for rehire.

Employment Verification Agency

Employers become very concerned when a candidate claims he or she has years of experience, when in fact they do not or when a candidate misrepresents their past titles, achievements or responsibilities. These are examples of the kinds of discrepancies that could come up in the background check which may indicate to employers that the candidate is being intentionally dishonest. Discrepancies between the information provided by the candidate and returned by FIDA (Private Detective Agency in India) generally will be noted on the background report. Therefore, during the hiring process it’s best to provide employers with the most accurate information possible regarding your employment history to avoid any potential inconsistencies and to avoid a delay in processing the report.

Types of Employment Verification

• Current Employer Verification
• Education Verification
• Professional License Check
• Professional Reference Check

Current Employer Verification: - It’s a service which verifies a candidate’s current job while protecting their isolation. Protects a candidate's privacy with their current employer. Allows employers to verify a candidate's current employment in order to identify candidates who may lie. Provides greater visibility into a candidate's job history.

Education Verification: - Education Verifications for employment verify the certification, training, or educational claims of a job applicant. Our educational verification services contact universities, colleges, vocational schools, etc., to verify dates of attendance and graduation, degrees or certifications obtained, majors studied, GPA, and honour received. The verification of education process is an important part of a quality pre-employment background check. Education Verifications are sometimes referred to as an Education Background Check or an Education Check.

Professional License Check: - It is important to verify professional license claims when the prospective employee will be in a position that requires such a license or when an applicant claims to have a license. This search also identifies any restrictions or violations associated with the license. This search is a valuable honesty check and helps protect the employer from negligent hiring claims.

Professional Reference Check: - Businesses usually need candidates with a very specific skill set and professional capability for specific roles within their teams. Apart from that, a candidate also needs to have the right attitude so that the workspace remains productive and efficient. This is the reason why a professional reference check of all your candidates is of paramount importance.

Importance of Employment Verification

Employment verification is too important for your company to hesitate on, delegate to an untrained employee, or disregard screening requirements and standards. According to Dan Charney, Managing Partner at DRI, “You have a duty to take care of your workforce as well as mitigate risk for your company. That’s why we established a partnership with Safeguard. We use their screening services when hiring our own employees as well as to help our clients during the interview process.”

Below are some Safeguard’s reasons Why Employers Should Screen Their Applicants:

1. Resume Fraud: - Approximately half of all applicants lie on their resumes. If you are able to determine which applicants have misstated their credentials, you can eliminate them from the get-go without wasting any more time in the process.

2. Limited Access to Information: - Employers do not want to provide any more information than what is required and are very hesitant to respond to a reference request. But, at the same time, former employers often hold the key to the most relevant insight about the candidate.

3. Compliance Issues: - The Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) sets standards for employment screening. There is a list of compliance requirements triggered by the FCRA, including various disclosures an employer must make before, during, and after the background check has been performed. The FCRA also carries substantial penalties for non-compliance. Safe Guard provides the tools to maintain compliance that are built right into its systems.

4. Workplace Violence: - Some two million American workers are victims of workplace violence each year. Certainly not every incident of violence could be prevented with applicant screening. But if pre-employment checks could prevent a potential incident from happening in your workplace, wouldn’t it be worth it?
