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.

  • Streamlined Screening & Compliance Management

    Incorporate employment history verifications into your WorkPro packages to offer you and your candidates a unified and streamlined process, eliminating the hassle of multiple logins and boosting your workflow efficiency.

Background Checks in the Childcare sector : A Wake-Up Call for the Sector

By Ziggy Dequito • September 4, 2025
Background Checks in the Childcare sector : A Wake-Up Call for the Sector The early childhood sector is under national scrutiny again. This time, it's not just policy driving change, but public outcry. On 20 August 2025, Victoria released findings from its rapid review into early childhood safety, following disturbing revelations of serious abuse at multiple childcare services (The Guardian). The review found systemic failures in background screening and regulatory enforcement, prompting the state to announce a major overhaul of its child safety laws. Among the key issues: a childcare worker with a history of criminal behaviour was cleared to work, and multiple abuse allegations were mishandled due to poor internal reporting systems (ABC News). The Victorian Government has accepted all 21 review recommendations, including increased unannounced inspections, faster suspension powers, and mandatory public disclosure of breaches (Wyndham TV). While this latest case occurred in Victoria, the same risks exist elsewhere. That’s why the national reforms introduced earlier this year — from harmonised Working with Children Checks to compulsory child protection training — are more than just updates. They’re essential safeguards. With greater legal consequences for non-compliance, now is the time for childcare providers to ensure their employee screening, training, and reporting systems are watertight — because families, regulators, and the law are watching.
