Why it matters

Resume fraud is more common than you think

Inflated titles, extended dates, and fabricated roles appear on resumes more often than most employers expect. For regulated industries, an unverified hire creates real legal and operational risk.

Frequently asked questions

What is employment verification?

A check that confirms a candidate's work history: employers, job titles, dates of employment, and sometimes salary or reason for leaving. Turn verifies this against payroll records and by contacting employers directly.

What information gets released during employment verification?

Typically dates of employment, job title or position, and employment status. Salary may be included where state law permits. Some employers only confirm dates and title.

How far back does employment verification go?

The lookback period depends on your needs. Turn supports 1 to 10-year lookback windows. Many employers verify the most recent 3-5 years of employment history.

How long does employment verification take?

Domestic verifications typically complete within 2-5 business days. International verifications take 5-10 business days. Turnaround depends on how quickly past employers respond.

What is FMCSA employment verification?

A DOT-regulated verification required for commercial drivers. It includes standard employment history plus previous drug and alcohol test records and safety performance history. Turn offers this at $11 + PT per employer.

Can I bundle employment verification with other checks?

Yes. Turn lets you combine employment verification with criminal background checks, education verification, drug testing, and more in a single package. One workflow for the candidate, one dashboard for results.
