International Employment Verification
Hiring someone with global work experience? Edify Screening’s International Employment Verification service confirms employment history outside the United States—so you can trust that your candidate’s experience is real, accurate, and complete.
Edify conducts international verifications directly with previous employers or through approved third-party providers across 100+ countries. We collect job titles, dates of employment, and reason for leaving when available, ensuring your hiring decision is backed by facts, not assumptions. Whether you’re screening executives, contractors, or remote staff abroad, we help you protect your brand and minimize hiring risk.
How It Works
- We contact employers directly or use country-specific verification partners.
- Confirmation includes employer name, job title, start/end dates, and position held.
- Verification may require candidate release, translated documents, or follow-up.
When to Use It
- Verifying international work experience on resumes or applications.
- Hiring employees, contractors, or consultants outside the U.S.
- Ensuring accurate job history for global leadership or credentialed roles.
TAT & Fees
- Turnaround time: typically 3–20 business days depending on the country.
- Some employers or countries charge verification fees (passed through).
- Country-specific documentation requirements may apply.
Why It Matters
International employment claims are harder to verify—but just as critical to your hiring decision. Unverified work history can lead to compliance violations, reputational harm, and costly turnover. By validating foreign employment directly, you reduce fraud risk, reinforce fair hiring practices, and uphold due diligence across borders.
Use-Cases
- Hiring overseas remote workers in marketing or development roles.
- Validating foreign job experience for licensed professionals or executives.
- Staffing international branches or global teams with experienced talent.
