Employment Verification Letter (WI)

Wisconsin

Hiring the right (or wrong) person can make or break a growing business and it's important to do your due diligence before onboarding a new teammate. An employment verification letter is used to verify the terms of a potential new employee's prior employment either before a job offer is made, or after a job offer is made if it's conditional on verification of their prior employment. Background checks on employment history can help reveal if a job applicant has the skills needed for the position they're seeking. Confirming a candidate's employment history can verify (or disprove) claims of relevant experience and job responsibilities in positions that matter to your company.

This letter requests that the previous employer provide the person's start and end dates, job titles, starting and ending salaries, if they are eligible for rehire with that company, and any other relevant information. You can also choose to have the new employee co-sign the letter giving permission to you to contact their previous or current employer(s). If you do not have the potential employee co-sign the letter, you should still let them know who you are contacting and what information you are requesting.
