Employment Verification

Find out what your references are really saying about you
  • Know what your past employers are telling your prospective employers
  • Head off questionable references before they hurt your chances
  • Use an independent, third-party resource to do your investigation

You know potential employers will be calling, but do you know what your references will say?

A solid reference can hasten your offer, but a poor or even lukewarm statement could lead to a lower compensation offer or the loss of the opportunity altogether. Think about how your bosses, past or present, would respond to these questions:
  1. Are you able to enthusiastically recommend this person?
  2. Is this person eligible for re-hire within your organization?
  3. Could you fully describe the circumstances and reason for the separation?
  4. Could you describe any strengths and / or weaknesses of this individual?
Most job seekers assume their past employers will speak glowingly about them... but what happens if they don't? Too many job candidates -- as many as 50% lose out in the final stages of negotiations because reference checks raise doubts in the potential employer's mind. Don't let a poor reference stand in the way of your dream job. Let our employment verification service tell you what your past employer is really saying about you.

The employment verification service provides an incredible value. For a low, per-use fee, our professionals will contact your reference and confidentially investigate what your reference is telling potential employers. It's a small price to pay for the peace of mind and confidence to know your references are supporting your reputation as a talented, valuable professional. Don't wait until a bad reference gets in the way of your dream job. Get your past emplolyers checked out now.
