Employment History Reports
Verified with Past Employers
An employment history check verifies a person’s past employers, job titles and dates of employment by contacting each employer or a verification database. Job seekers use it to confirm their work history before applying, and employers use it to confirm what a candidate reported on their résumé.
Why Employment History Checks Matter
Résumé discrepancies are common, and employers often verify history before making an offer. Checking it first helps you fix errors and apply with confidence.
- Confirm employers, titles, and dates.
- Catch errors before a new employer finds them.
- Verify candidate résumés before an offer.
- Get results by secure email.
What Does an Employment History Check Include?
Each verification confirms details for one employer, such as:
- Employer name: The company and location the person worked for.
- Job title: Positions held, as recorded by the employer.
- Dates of employment: Start and end dates for each role.
- Additional details: Eligibility for rehire or reason for leaving, where the employer provides it.
Turnaround: Each employer verification typically takes 3–5 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about employment history check coverage, timing, and ordering.
How do I check my employment history?
Order an employment history check with your past employers’ details. Reveal contacts each employer or verification service and sends you the confirmed results. You can also request records from the Social Security Administration.
How far back does an employment history check go?
As far back as the employers you list can verify. Most employers verify at least the last 7–10 years.
How long does it take?
Each employer verification typically takes 3–5 business days, depending on how quickly the employer responds.
What if a past employer has closed?
We will try alternative sources. If the employer cannot be reached, the report will show it was unable to verify.
Can employers check my employment history?
Yes, with your written authorization under the FCRA. Employment verification is one of the most common pre-employment checks.
Is an employment history check the same as a background check?
It is one part of a background check. A full employment background check usually also includes criminal and identity searches.
