      Employment Verification

      Ensure the authenticity of employment details with Authenticate®'s comprehensive employment verification services.

      Authenticate® is committed to providing robust and reliable employment verification services that assist businesses in making informed decisions. Our detailed verification process helps confirm the authenticity of a user's employment history, safeguarding organizations against fraudulent claims and ensuring compliance with standards.

      What is Employment Verification?

      Employment verification is a crucial process organizations use to confirm the validity of a user’s employment details. This includes verifying past and current employment details such as company names, locations, job titles, and dates of employment. Employment verification is essential for businesses to deal with verified users who accurately represent their work history.

      Details Verified in Employment Checks

      Authenticate® conducts comprehensive checks on the following employment details:

      • Company Names and Locations: Verify the company's name and geographic location to ensure the employment claim is legitimate.
      • Job Titles and Dates of Employment: Confirm the positions and duration of employment to assess the user's experience.
      • Supervisor Names and Contact Details: Used only during references during manual verifications to corroborate employment details.
      • Current Employment Status and Contract Type: Checking whether the employment is ongoing and the nature of the contract (e.g., full-time, part-time, contract).

      Each verification point returns a TRUE or FALSE output, providing clear and concise feedback on the authenticity of each piece of employment information.
