REQUIREMENTS
Employer Requirements
Employers need acknowledgment from the applicant that the background check is being run, which includes the employment verification information on the application. It is common for previous employers to ask for a copy of the written consent from the applicant to verify their information. When this occurs, DISA’s backgrounds team will request a copy of the applicant’s authorization to send to the previous employer.
Applicant Requirements
The applicant is expected to provide previous job-related information including:
- Employer name
- Address
- Phone number
- Supervisor name
- Dates of employment
- Job title(s)
It is common for applicants to not want their current employer contacted. In this case, they have the option of asking the prospective employer not to contact them, typically with a checked box on the application.
