Employment Verification.
Work History Validation
Want to know if your candidate actually managed that "high-performing sales team," or if they managed to convince one coworker to share a lunch table? Employment verification cuts through the creative career storytelling to reveal what happened at their previous jobs - and why they left.
What Employment Verifications Provide
Employment verification isn't just about confirming dates - it's your direct line to the truth about job performance, leadership capabilities, and those suspiciously perfect employment gaps. Through targeted supervisor interviews, corporate record searches, and customizable verification processes, we deliver the reality behind the resume spin. Think of it as investigative journalism, but for your hiring decisions.
- Timeline Reality Check: Catches employment date extensions, phantom positions, and conveniently forgotten terminations - because 18 months of fictional employment won't improve their actual skills
- Title Inflation Detection: Confirms they were actually "Senior Analyst," not "Director of Strategic Initiatives" - inflated titles often hide deflated capabilities
- Phantom Company Investigation: Verifies employers existed and weren't hastily created websites, because fake startups with fake references are easier to create than real experience
- Performance Truth Serum: Reveals actual job responsibilities, reason for leaving, and rehire eligibility - the stuff that predicts future performance
Studies show 40-60% of applicants embellish their work history, with everything from extended employment dates to completely fabricated positions. One hire based on fictional experience can trigger project failures, team disruption, and the kind of performance issues that make managers question their judgment. CIChecked's verification process includes corporate records searches, business registration verification, and digital footprint analysis to catch even sophisticated deceptions.
Beyond Basic Date Confirmation
Our enhanced verification services include industry-specific custom questions, international employment verification, and reference verification that goes beyond HR departments. We contact actual supervisors who can speak to real performance, not just policy-compliant responses.
Every industry has unique verification needs. Our completely customizable process allows you to incorporate questions specific to your organization's requirements, ensuring you receive the most relevant information for your decision-making process. From basic employment confirmation to comprehensive performance evaluation, we adapt our investigation to your needs.
The Work Number Alternative
While automated services like The Work Number cost around $85 per verification for basic data, our human-driven approach delivers nuanced insights that databases can't provide. We uncover the context behind the dates - the performance issues, leadership gaps, and character indicators that automated systems miss.
Bottom Line: Employment history is predictive - when it's accurate. CIChecked's verification services help organizations make informed hiring decisions based on verified performance rather than creative resume writing. Because when past performance matters, fictional experience doesn't.
