What can Employers say about Previous Employees

during Background Research?

More common question from employees who will

undergo background research will be:

“What can my previous employer say about

my employment background?”

Some job seekers believe that

companies can only give limited

evidence and release your previous job

description or the salary that you were

getting. Nevertheless, there will be more

information aside from this. Your

previous employer can give out your

files including how you performed on

your job it means that it will identify if

there were absenteeism or offenses that

you’ve made.

Can employer explain the reason why you left

the company or are there limits to what an

employer can say about you?

There are no laws that control on what

detail an employer can reveal about

former employees.

They can divulge everything including

the reason why you left the company or

are there any complaints against you.

It is also important that you’re telling the

truth you have give your reason ahead of

time why you chose to quit on your

previous job because if they will do the

complete background check and they

found out that you are telling false

information, you might lose your job and

the worst is it might affect your future

employment.

Don’t assume that your previous

employer won’t give any information for

you to be aware and avoid telling false

information during initial assessment.

It is important to know what your

employer will disclose because what you

say needs to go with what the company

is going to say.

Lastly, if your version of story doesn’t

match with theirs and you feel the

company’s story about your resignation

isn’t precise, be honest and tell the

entire story. You’ll gain their trust and

better yet have a higher chance of

getting the job than having different

stories from both parties.
