Previous employer verification
Confirmation with the previous employer that the candidate worked with the organisation.
Employment Verification
Confirm a candidate's work history with their previous employers before you hire.
Overview
Validate previous employment and professional experience
A candidate's work history shapes the role, level and compensation they are offered. AMRU Consultancy's employment verification services help employers confirm that the previous employment a candidate describes is accurate, by checking with the employers concerned.
We report what each previous employer confirms, and flag any differences from the details the candidate declared, so your team can review them before making a decision.
What We Cover
Our employment verification services
Depending on what the previous employer is able and authorised to share, a check may cover the following.
Employment dates
Verification of the joining and leaving dates against the candidate's declaration.
Designation and job title
Verification of the position or designation held during the period of employment.
Employment status
Confirmation of the nature of employment, such as permanent or contractual, as recorded by the employer.
Exit information
Where available and authorised, information about the circumstances of exit, such as resignation and last working day.
Professional experience validation
Validation of the overall experience and tenure a candidate claims, based on confirmed employment records.
Why It Matters
Why verify employment history before hiring
Experience is often the deciding factor in a hire. Overstated tenure, inflated designations or unreported gaps can lead to poor role fit and unexpected risk. Confirming employment history before an offer helps you rely on a candidate's experience with greater confidence.
It also helps you spot inconsistencies early, so that they can be discussed openly with the candidate rather than surfacing months later.
- Confirm that claimed experience and tenure match employer records
- Verify designations and levels relevant to the role and pay offered
- Identify unexplained gaps or inconsistencies for discussion
- Reduce the risk of hiring on the basis of inaccurate information
Please note: Employers may share only limited information, and some may not respond. Exit-related information is reported only where it is available and the previous employer is authorised to share it. Checks are carried out with the candidate's consent.
