Your
Employment Reference Checks
Questions Answered

During an employment reference check, employers typically seek information about the candidate’s job title, dates of employment and job responsibilities.

An employment reference check is a process conducted by employers or hiring managers to verify information provided by a job applicant regarding their previous employment history. It typically involves contacting the applicant’s former employers or supervisors to gather information about the applicant’s job performance, skills, and experience.

Employment reference checks are important because they provide employers with valuable insights into a candidate’s past work experience and help verify the accuracy of the information provided in the application or during the interview process. They allow employers to assess a candidate’s skills, abilities, and work ethic, helping them make informed hiring decisions.
