Many aspects of the employment background screening process rely on internet-fast database searching, which yields hard data and cross-referenced documentation. Trusted Employees enhances the value of its web-based findings by combining records research with direct-to-source investigation.
An employment check involves direct communication with a candidate’s previous employers, and seeks to clarify and confirm the content of an applicant’s resume and/or application. Questions that guide an employment background check interview fall into basic categories, including:
- Position(s) held by applicant
- Ending salary earned by applicant
- Date(s) and duration of employment
- Reason(s) applicant is no longer with the company
The impetus for employment background checking – as well as for employment verification checking – is explained in part, by recent National Recruitment findings, which indicate that approximately 30% of employee applicants submit false and/or misleading information to prospective employers. Where verification checking is primarily records based, employment checking utilizes a more person-to-person, experience based approach.
The combination of documented facts and subjective accounts from previous employers forms a more complete employee background check.
- Verify the truth and accuracy of an applicant’s submission request
- Get a sense of an applicant’s relationship with his/her previous employer and co-workers
- Get a sense of how an applicant performed in his/her previous position
- Allow the interview to touch on specific incidents that may lend insight into an applicant’s character and work ethic
- Balance an applicant’s natural bias with the other side of the story
- Apply your discretion to the total fact situation
