For past employment verification, we are dependent on HR Managers/Personnel Managers/Administrative Officers/HR Executives and so on. More and more employers are in the process of computerization of Rolls but for records older than a year or two most employers are dependent on records in paper form. If the former employer is a Government owned organization, it takes longer to get approvals for release of information. There are many employers having their Head Office at New Delhi or Mumbai but factory at a remote village in Tamilnadu or Karnataka. It is important to have the correct location rather address of the former employer. It is also important to have the correct & exact position held with a particular employer. We have found that quite a few applicants change their position on application as per US terms. It may be noted that most of IT companies prefers not to disclose the salary structures. It is also not uncommon to found that a number of IT firms went out of business.      

 Based on our experience, we suggest following input information for faster employment verification:

 a)      Name and address of past employer

b)      Dates of employment

c)      Position held

d)      Name of supervisor

e)      Employee Number

f)        Copy of release or authorization
