Pre-Employment Referencing Tutorial

Application Information

Addresses Always leave room for several addresses.
Request the applicant indicate ALL States resided in for the past seven years.
When requesting education data - make sure you close the loop on graduation and getting the degree. Dates of attendance are important.
Leave room for at leat 5 employers. Request: the supervisor name; senior manager name; one peer name, from each employer. Otherwise, if the supervisor has left you will be sent to human resource records and then you will find out little.
Many candidates have had some form of self-employment. It is important that you require them to list professional references, telephone numbers, and the relationship with the client. Often candidates use self-employment to hide unsatisfactory performance. You will need a way to weed out the offenders.
Make a clear and unambiguous place to know whether you can contact the current employer. Make the candidate write: "yes" or "no".
Date of birth, sex and race are vital to make sure you do not get false positives on the criminal and credit information. If your firm's attorney's are hung-up on DOB's, sex and race, I suggest you prepare an addendum to your employment application which says: The following information is required to perform your pre-employment records check and then include the release and whatever other information you intent to make your standard policy for the company.
