Employment Verification FAQs

Common questions about verifying work history.

How long does employment verification take?

Most verifications complete in 2-5 business days. Timing depends on employer responsiveness. Some complete same-day if the employer uses an automated verification service like The Work Number.

What if the employer doesn’t respond?

We make multiple contact attempts via phone, email, and fax over several days. If we cannot verify, we document all attempts and note the verification as “Unable to Verify” with details.

Can you verify if a company no longer exists?

We search for successor companies, archived records, and third-party databases. If the company truly no longer exists with no records available, we document this in the report.

What information do you need from me?

We need the candidate’s name, employer name, approximate dates, and any contact information you have. The candidate may also need to provide a signed authorization.

Do all employers provide salary information?

No. Many employers have policies limiting what they share. Some only confirm dates and title. Salary verification depends on employer policy and candidate authorization.

Can I verify international employment?

Yes. We offer international employment verification with extended timelines (5-15 business days) and localized verification methods. Contact us for international verification pricing.
