Employment history verification is a procedure used to authenticate a candidate’s previous job details. This step, commonly conducted during the recruitment process, ensures that the information provided on an applicant's resume or job application is accurate and helps reduce potential hiring risks.

·       Dates of Employment: Verification of the accuracy of employment start and end dates.

·       Company Names: Validation that the individual was employed by the organisations listed.

·       Duties and Responsibilities: Assessment of whether the roles and responsibilities described reflect the actual work performed.

·       Reason for Leaving: Occasionally reviewed if disclosed by the prior employer.

·       Eligibility for Rehire: Some employers may indicate whether the former employee is eligible for rehire.
