Atlas Screening

Employment verification

Verified titles, dates, and separation reasons.

Atlas contacts prior employers directly, via automated networks, tracked email, or live phone, so every claim on a résumé is confirmed at the source, with a full audit trail.

What's included

Every title, date, and employer, confirmed.

We contact past employers directly to validate what candidates claim, and flag the discrepancies that matter before you hire.

Titles and dates

Confirmed job titles, start and end dates for each prior employer, pulled straight from HR or authorized verification networks.

Reason for separation

Where the employer is authorized to disclose it, we surface the reason for leaving: voluntary, involuntary, or layoff.

Rehire eligibility

The single most-requested signal from reference checks, surfaced cleanly without relying on off-the-record calls.

Compensation verification

For roles with a valid permissible purpose, we verify salary, hourly rate, or total compensation directly with payroll.

Verification networks

Automated data pulls from The Work Number, Equifax Workforce, and authorized HRIS integrations, instant where available.

Audit trail

Every contact attempt is logged with timestamp, method, and outcome, so your hiring decisions stay defensible and FCRA-compliant.

Verified, not just claimed

Every title and date, confirmed at the source.

We contact past employers directly to validate what a candidate reports, and flag the discrepancies that matter before a hire is made.

FCRA compliance

How this check stays compliant.

Built to be defensible: upfront consent, adverse-action support, and open dispute rights.

  • Atlas is the reporting agency; you decide

    Atlas is a Consumer Reporting Agency that furnishes reports under the FCRA. Your organization makes the hiring decision.

  • Consent before every check

    Every check needs a lawful permissible purpose, a standalone disclosure, and the applicant's written authorization.

  • A supported, two-step adverse action

    Pre-adverse notice with the report and a summary of rights, a waiting period, then a final notice. Atlas supports each step.

  • Disputes are reinvestigated

    Applicants may dispute a report; Atlas reinvestigates and corrections reach your dashboard. Email compliance@atlasscreening.com.

  • Sourced with reasonable procedures

    Contents come from third-party and public records. Atlas uses reasonable procedures for accuracy but cannot guarantee every record is current.

Employment verification questions.

How we verify, how far back we go, and what happens when a prior employer goes dark.

How do you verify employment?
Atlas uses a tiered approach: automated verification networks first (The Work Number, Equifax Workforce, HRIS integrations), then direct HR email, then live-phone verification. Every method is timestamped and logged.
How far back do you verify?
Standard verifications cover the three most-recent employers. Premium extends to a full seven-year employment history. We can go further on enterprise plans when a role requires it.
What if a prior employer won't respond?
After three documented attempts across methods, we mark the employer as non-responsive and attach the full contact log. You can then decide whether the gap is material to your hiring decision.
Can you verify international employers?
Yes. International employer outreach is included on Premium and enterprise plans. We handle timezone, language, and local verification practices across major markets.
Is compensation verification always available?
Compensation disclosure depends on employer policy and state law. Where disclosed, we report it; otherwise the field is marked 'not disclosed' with the method and source on record.
