Often overlooked in the selection process, diligent verification of an individual’s employment history often reveals unreported employment, exaggerations and falsifications about previous titles or duties, and gaps in employment (which may reveal time an individual may have been incarcerated). While the amount of information verified may vary because companies/organizations have widely varying policies concerning the release of information, every attempt is made to verify employment history, including: - Dates of employment,
- Position held;
- Ending pay;
- General information concerning performance;
- Reason for departure; and
- Eligibility for re-employment.
