More choice for employment verification. Faster hiring decisions. 

Today’s workforce is more dynamic than ever. Job applicants hold multiple positions, freelance, work hybrid or remote schedules, and move between employers more frequently than ever before. They expect fast, digital-first employment screening and verification experiences.

For employment screeners, background screening companies, and HR teams, verifying past employment history across a fragmented workforce can be complex, time-consuming, and costly.

Experian Verify™ for Employment Screening provides access to a broad and growing network of employment data sources, including Workday, payroll providers, employer-direct connections, and non-payroll partners. Our comprehensive employment verification solution simplifies the verification process, reduces manual outreach, accelerates hiring decisions, and mitigates risk.

Before running a Verification of Employment, employment screeners can start with the Experian Verify Preview Report. It surfaces employers associated with a candidate and highlights which records may be available instantly, helping teams identify the most efficient verification path before placing and paying for a full VOE report.

This flexible approach helps background screening providers and HR teams maximize verification coverage while keeping candidates engaged — even when instant data isn’t available.
