Employment Verification also called Verification of Employment is an employment screening process which reviews the employment history of a job candidate. 

Employment Verification Search (Human Resources)

Human Resources Reference Verification confirms information relevant to a candidate’s employment history. Sterling Infosystems attempts to verify:

• employment dates
• position
• reason for leaving
• eligibility for rehire
• and salary (where appropriate and compliant with applicable laws)

Our employment verification search helps to ensure that a candidate actually has the skills and experience necessary to perform the duties required by the hiring position.

Employment Verification Search (Line Manager)

Performance related employment verification questions are posed to line managers in order to obtain additional information that would not usually be disclosed on a standard Human Resources Reference. Line Manager References are usually paired with a Human Resources Reference check.  The employment verification search reference is obtained using set questionnaires that can be tailored to the requirements of each client and will help to ensure that a candidate actually has the skills and experience necessary to perform the duties required by the hiring position.

Employment Verification Services - Military

Sterling ensures the quality of your candidate by verifying their military record. We verify the military branch and dates of service by accessing the Military Record Repository, contacting a VA hospital directly or contacting the applicant for a DD214 Form.

Employment Verification Services - DOT

For our DOT clients, we ensure your applicants are ready to operate your company vehicle by verifying their transportation history. We examine and verify their general performance for previous work, ask questions related to safe vehicle operation, accident history, history of substance abuse from a detailed background check perspective. All questions contained on the DOT verification request form comply with DOT regulations.

Education

Unfortunately, inflating education credentials is a common practice. Sterling offers background screening services by verifying dates of attendance, course or study, degree, or credential received and the date the degree, or credential, was awarded. This may include GED, high school diploma, college or advanced degrees.

Personal/Professional Reference

Former supervisors, former co-workers or friends who provide information about your applicant are somewhat more subjective than normal performance questions included on an employee verification. Sterling ensures the information provided by those references is accurate in identifying the correct candidate as a part of our employment verification services.
