- Third-party employment data services where used by the employer

- Reason for leaving and rehire eligibility when the employer releases it
Limitations

Who uses it & when
Professional, management, finance and healthcare hiring teams.
For roles where experience claims directly affect qualification or pay.
What affects turnaround
Typically 1–3 business days; longer when an employer is slow to respond.
Compliance considerations
Candidate authorization covers the request. Some states restrict salary-history questions; we do not ask for pay history where prohibited.
General information only, not legal advice. Laws change frequently and vary by state and city. Consult employment counsel before making decisions.
Frequently asked questions
What if a former employer never responds?
We make multiple documented attempts and then ask the candidate for alternate proof, such as a W-2 or pay stub, before closing the verification.
