With Screen 360 from Exela, we go directly to past employers to retrieve relevant information, verifying each of the applicant’s positions. By using Employment Verification, organizations can eliminate one of the most time consuming aspects of a Human Resources professional’s job.
Applicants often exaggerate the roles and responsibilities of previous positions in order to gain an undeserved competitive advantage. The Screen 360 Employment Verification process confirms the three most recent jobs an applicant has held over the past seven years, along with dates of employment, job titles, salary and re-hire eligibility.

In order to hire effectively, verifying information is the only proven way to ensure applications are representing themselves honestly.

Personal Reference Verification
Personal Reference verifications often make the difference in the final hiring decision. Screen 360 will verify professional references and can be tailored to suit industry or job-specific needs.
Professional License Verification
Screen 360 conducts an inspection of the employees’ professional license if any. This entails checking on the authenticity of the license accorded to the employee while checking its expiry status for further verification if needed.
If the position requires a professional license or credential such as CPA, medical license or teaching credential, Screen 360’s Professional License Verification screening solutions can confirm this information directly with the issuing agency. Exela’ verification professionals are in daily contact with every major licensing board in all 50 states and can verify an applicant’s license or credential quickly and accurately.
Employment Credit Report
A credit report reveals the financial stability of an applicant and alerts employers to individuals who may have an incentive to steal due to personal financial difficulties. Furthermore, applicants who attempt to hide negative work experiences often omit past employers from their resumes. A credit report may disclose unreported employers. A credit report is recommended for all positions with duties that inclued accounting or financial services functions, access to sensitive information, or handling of valuable merchandise.
Employee credit reports offer valuable insight regarding the applicant’s reliability and sense of responsibility, particularly for those financially sensitive, inventory or retail key holder positions. The best indicator of an applicant’s future behavior is their past behavior. At Exela, we believe the best way to hire an applicant is to understand the candidate’s past before the offer letter is sent.
