What is the employment history?
The employment history provides an overview of a candidate’s work history. It is defined as “the time you have worked continuously” and offers insight into a person’s professional background.
Why viewing your employment history is crucial:
By checking the employment history, you can gain insight into frequent job changes and any inconsistencies in the CV.
An employment history check provides more certainty about a candidate’s professional experience and reliability.
Work experience can play an important role in determining salary and position. In addition, references can be checked to complete the picture.
A good insight into the employment history contributes to a more efficient selection process. Read more about optimising your recruitment process here.
Mandatory employment history check
In some sectors, it is mandatory to check a candidate’s work history. Think of healthcare institutions, education, and the financial sector, where reliability and quality are essential. In addition to an employment history check, other screenings can also be carried out, such as the VOG check and BIG check.
How can you request the employment history?
Requesting the employment history is done through the UWV and must be requested by the candidate themselves. Certain data, such as social security numbers and wage information, can be shielded in the process.
