Take flight with a clear view of who you're hiring

Candidates make a range of falsifications on job applications at all levels. From junior roles through to executive positions. Common lies on resumes include job titles, responsibilities, time in a role and even places of work.


If you hire new workers without the knowledge and experience they say they have, you expose yourself to reputational damage. As well as the time and resources needed to fix an expensive hiring mistake.


WorkPro’s Employment History Checks are a smart addition to any risk management program. CV checks provide employers with an accurate, unbiased, and fast verification that candidates can perform at the level required in their new role.



  • How Employment History Checks Are Performed

    Once the CV check is requested, WorkPro contacts the HR or Payroll department of the candidate’s listed places of work to verify their employment. Details verified include:

    • Dates of employment
    • Position/s held
    • Details of promotions
    • Last salary
    • Any bonuses
    • Name of previous Line Managers
    • Reason for leaving
    • Eligibility for re-hire

    Five valid attempts are made over three days, and as a last resort, the direct manager will be contacted.


    WorkPro Employment History Checks can verify resume details going back 10 years. 


    The verification process is managed via telephone, fax or email. Each method depends on the country where the check is being conducted.

  • Fast & Secure Employment History Checks

    Turnaround time for WorkPro's Employment History Check is between 3 - 12 business days depending on the country.


    Details are securely stored in WorkPro alongside your other compliance requirements, ready for quick access and decision-making.
