Confirm Work History Before You Hire

Landmark Investigations offers employment verification services for employers in Nacogdoches, Texas who need to confirm candidate work history.

You cannot rely on a resume alone to confirm where someone worked, what they did, or why they left. Employment verification in Nacogdoches gives you direct confirmation from previous employers about dates of employment, job title, eligibility for rehire, and in some cases, salary and reason for separation. Landmark Investigations contacts each employer listed on the candidate's application and documents their responses so you know whether the information provided is accurate.

The verification process involves reaching out to human resources departments or direct supervisors at each listed employer. Landmark Investigations confirms the candidate's dates of employment, the position they held, and whether the employer would rehire them. If the candidate authorized salary disclosure, that information is requested as well. When available, the reason for separation is documented. Every response is recorded and included in your report so you have a clear picture of the candidate's work history.

If you need employment verification in Nacogdoches, Landmark Investigations can begin contacting previous employers as soon as you provide candidate authorization.

Direct Contact With Former Employers Provides Real Answers

Landmark Investigations reaches out to each employer listed on the candidate's resume or application using phone calls, email, or formal verification requests depending on the company's policy. The goal is to confirm dates of employment, job title, and whether the candidate is eligible for rehire. If the candidate authorized salary verification, that is requested as well. When possible, the reason for separation is documented, though not all employers disclose this information.

Once responses are received, you get a report that shows what each employer confirmed and whether any discrepancies were found. If a company did not respond or declined to verify, that is noted as well. The report gives you a side-by-side comparison of what the candidate claimed and what the employer confirmed, so you can see where the information aligns and where it does not.

The process is straightforward and designed to give you factual information quickly. Landmark Investigations handles the outreach and documentation so you do not have to chase down former employers yourself.

You probably want to know what gets verified

Employment verification raises questions about what employers are willing to confirm, how long the process takes, and what happens if a company will not respond.

What information do previous employers typically provide?
Most employers confirm dates of employment, job title, and eligibility for rehire. Some will also provide salary information if the candidate authorized it, and a few will share the reason for separation depending on their disclosure policy.
How long does employment verification take?
Most verifications are completed within three to five business days depending on how quickly previous employers respond. Larger companies with centralized HR departments usually respond faster than smaller businesses.
What happens if a previous employer will not verify?
If an employer does not respond or declines to verify, that is documented in the report. You receive a summary of what could not be confirmed so you can follow up directly or request additional references from the candidate.
Can you verify self-employment or contract work?
Self-employment and contract work are harder to verify, but Landmark Investigations can request documentation such as tax records, invoices, or client references if the candidate provides them. The report will note what was confirmed and what remains unverified.
Will the candidate know you are verifying their employment?
Yes, federal law requires that you obtain written authorization from the candidate before conducting employment verification as part of a background check. The candidate must be informed that their previous employers will be contacted.
