Employment Verification Services
The SearchFirst Employment Verification Search confirms a subject's past employment record and job title. SearchFirst also tries to get previous employers to include information and reason for departure, rehiring eligibility and work habits. Unfortunately, some employers, due to policy and liability, do not disclose this information, but SearchFirst still asks these important questions.
Let us customize a package to meet your needs.
Required Documentation for I-9 Form
I-9 Form Requirements
When hired for a new job, employees are required to prove that they are legally entitled to work in the United States. Additionally, employers are required to verify the identity and eligibility to work for all new employees. An Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9 Form) must be completed and kept on file by the employer.
In addition, employees must present original documents, not photocopies. The only exception is an employee may present a certified copy of a birth certificate. On the form, the employer must verify the employment eligibility and identity documents presented by the employee and record the document information on the I-9 form.
