More Than a Database Scan
Most background check services search national databases and call it done. The problem: those databases miss records that haven't been digitized — and in many counties, that's most criminal records.
eKnowID goes further. Our Standard and Top Hire packages include county courthouse searches, and every report is reviewed by a trained investigator, our licensed private investigation firm. When a report says clear, a human confirmed it.

What Does Employment Verification Show?
Employment verification looks for inconsistencies in the information provided by the applicant and their actual work history. As with other types of background checks, there are laws that limit the information that can be used during the hiring process. However, employment verification typically reveals:
- If the applicant worked where they claimed to work.
- The start and stop dates for employment at the company
- Titles and responsibilities held and the applicant’s previous salary (In some states, using this information for a background check is illegal because it is felt that it encourages lower salaries for women and minority groups.)
- The reason the applicant quit their old job (In some states, employment verification cannot show this information.)
- If the applicant is eligible for rehire (Certain states prohibit employment verification checks to use this information.)
