Accurate Background introduces AccurateConfirm, a candidate-driven alternative for employment history verification

AccAccurate Background, the biggest privately held provider of compliant background checks, drug and health screening, and monitoring solutions, has added AccurateConfirm to their range of verification products, providing a more efficient and cost-effective way to validate work history. AccurateConfirm offers an optimised workflow that uses payroll data to confirm the information provided by a candidate in circumstances where hiring may not require the same level of detail, or where a simple confirmation that the applicant was employed by the claimed business is all that is necessary. When payroll data is unavailable, candidates must scan or submit suitable employment-related documents.

AccurateConfirm provides a report that includes the employer's name and confirmation of employment within the candidate's stated time limit. This upfront document collection accelerates the process, reduces turnaround time, and lowers the cost of employment verification, allowing employers to quickly authenticate candidate-provided information on current or previous work and accelerate hiring.
