Why employment verification matters in hiring
A resume is the candidate's own account of their career. Employment verification checks it against the employers who were actually there.
Overstated roles and titles
A team lead becomes a manager and an analyst becomes a consultant. Small upgrades change what you pay and what you trust someone with.
Stretched or invented tenure
Gaps get closed, short stints get extended and, in some cases, a past employer turns out not to exist at all.
Exits that were never explained
Only the former employer can confirm how a role ended. A reason for exit that doesn't match is worth a conversation before the offer.
Hiring on false claims leads to reputational damage, financial loss, workplace disruption, higher attrition and compliance risk.
What our employment verification covers
Every employer on a candidate's record is checked for the same six points, so reports read the same way across all your hires.
What we confirm for each employer
- Employer name and locationWe confirm the company is legitimate and that the candidate actually worked there
- Designation and job roleThe position, title and responsibilities match what the candidate told you
- Employment datesStart and end dates are validated to confirm the claimed tenure
- Reporting manager or HR feedbackPrevious managers or HR teams share verified feedback on performance and conduct
- Reason for exitWhy the candidate left, which helps you judge reliability and professional conduct
- Rehire status and red flagsWhether the employer would rehire, and any policy or performance concerns
Sources we verify against
| Source | What it confirms |
|---|---|
| Former employer HR | Designation, dates and how the role ended |
| Reporting manager | Role, responsibilities and conduct, where the employer allows it |
| UAN service history | Dates cross-checked against EPFO records the candidate shares with consent |
| Relieving and experience letters | Matched against what HR confirms |
| Offer letters and payslips | Used when an employer has closed down or doesn't respond |
Types of employment verification we offer
Previous employment verification
A complete check of every position the candidate has held, including multi-employer validation for long careers.
Current employment verification (with consent)
A discreet check with the candidate's current employer, run only after we have the candidate's explicit consent.
Third-party and consultant employment check
For contract positions, freelance experts and agency hires, where the paying entity and the workplace are different.
How employment verification works in India
India has no single register of work history. The EPF Act applies to establishments with 20 or more employees, so a candidate's UAN service history covers most formal employers but can miss small firms, contract roles and consultancies.
That's why we confirm each employer directly with HR or a reporting manager, and use UAN verification and documents as cross-checks rather than as the only proof.
Documents candidates usually share
- Offer letter and relieving or experience letter for each employer
- Recent payslips or Form 16
- UAN, for EPFO service history
- HR or reporting manager contact details
- Signed consent for the verification
How the employment verification process works
- Consent. The candidate gives digital consent that names the employers to be checked.
- Details. We collect employer names, HR contacts, dates, UAN and supporting documents.
- Verification. Our team confirms each employer with HR, reporting managers or payroll teams.
- Cross-check and QC. Dates and titles are matched against UAN history and documents, and every mismatch is flagged with a reason.
- Report. You receive a report showing what was checked, who confirmed it and what came back.
Turnaround is typically 10 to 12 working days. It depends on how many employers a candidate has had and how quickly they respond.
