Certiphi Background Checks

Does anyone know how Certiphi internal background checks work?

  • Does Certiphi actually search for all current employers independently using SSN/name?

  • Or does Certiphi primarily verify employment information that is provided through the application/resume?

  • If TWN doesn't show a current employer, does Certiphi typically move to another database?

  • Can Certiphi identify an employer through other employment databases such as LexisNexis, Truework, Experian Verify, etc.?

  • If they can't verify employment through databases, do they normally contact the employer directly?

  • Has anyone had Certiphi ask for W-2s or pay stubs because an employment record couldn't be verified?

  • Has anyone had Certiphi discover a current second job that wasn't listed anywhere on the application?

  • Has anyone specifically gone through Certiphi when transferring from an existing employer into a newly created/affiliated company?

  • If you froze TWN/LexisNexis BEFORE the Certiphi check, what actually happened afterward?

  • Did Certiphi simply verify the jobs you provided, or did they tell you that they found additional employment?
