Employment verification
Employment verification confirms a candidate's work history — employer, job title, and dates — so you hire based on facts, not resumes. Pricing depends on how far back you want to verify.
Pricing by lookback period
| Lookback | Price per check |
|---|---|
| Current employer | $12.50 |
| Last 3 years | $15 |
| Last 5 years | $25 |
| Last 7 years | $35 |
| Last 10 years | $50 |
Third-party database access fees may apply, passed through at cost with no markup.

FAQs
What if the candidate is self-employed?▼
Payroll verification doesn't cover self-employment. Add bank data validation instead — it verifies self-employment income from the candidate's bank data.
Does the candidate's current employer get contacted?▼
Where payroll data is available, verification happens without contacting the employer. When manual outreach is needed, the employer is contacted directly.
