Employment Reference Check – Professional Job Reference Check Service

We manually perform employment reference checks which can help to provide insight into an applicant’s character and work ethic. The employment reference check provides additional information that goes beyond what is listed on an applicant’s resume. First we verify that the provided applicants’ reference contact information is correct. Then we make three attempts (one per business day for three consecutive business days) to establish contact with the applicants’ reference. The price range is from $15 to $20 per employment reference check. We offer volume discount pricing with monthly billing accounts and package discounts for bundled products/services.

Before you can order an employment reference check, you must be approved for a monthly billing account. Since this is an add-on service only, you must first place a criminal background check prior to an employment reference. When placing your criminal background check order, you will need to enter the Name, DOB, SSN, and Address of the person you are screening. After the criminal background check order is completed, you must email or fax the applicant/employee signed consent form and additional applicant information.
