Do employment verifications and background checks consume a significant amount of your HR department’s time? Outsourcing these functions is a great way to increase the efficiency of HR personnel through the elimination of these time-consuming tasks. But it’s not as easy as just calling up an employment verification company and passing the baton – there’s still a lot you need to know.
The following is a collection of employment verification practices along with additional information that details the steps involved in processing background screenings.
E-Verify was originally introduced to employers as the Basic Pilot Program. The program was developed to provide employers with a free internet-based system where they could determine employment eligibility of new hires and the validity of their Social Security numbers. The system is operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) partnered with the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Based on information provided by the employee on his or her Form I-9, E-Verify confirms this information electronically against records contained by DHS and SSA databases.
