What we offer
Product information
A CV is a claim. This confirms the claim with the organisation that employed them, so dates, titles and tenure are checked rather than assumed.
What it is
- Confirms a candidate’s employment directly with the former employer’s payroll or human resources department.
- Checks the facts of the engagement — that it happened, when, and in what role.
- Covers overseas employers where the organisation still exists and will respond.
What it doesn't cover
- Performance, conduct or reason for leaving — most employers will not disclose it, and confirming facts is a different job
- Salary, unless the employer volunteers it — most do not
- Employment with an organisation that no longer exists or will not respond
Where an employer cannot be reached, we tell you what was attempted rather than reporting a silence as a clear result.

This confirms facts — that the employment happened, the dates, and the position held. A Reference Check asks a nominated referee for their assessment of how the candidate worked. One is a record, the other is an opinion, and they answer different questions.
Usually not. Most Australian employers have a policy of confirming dates and position only, and will not comment on performance or reason for leaving. The check is built around what employers will reliably confirm.
That employment cannot be confirmed. We report what was attempted and why it could not be completed, so an unreachable employer is not mistaken for a clear result.
Yes, where the organisation still exists and will respond. Time zones and language can extend the turnaround, so overseas employment often takes longer than the estimate for domestic checks.
As many as you need. Each employer is a separate verification and priced accordingly, so the cost scales with how far back you want to go.
