Employment Performance Verification is a process designed to validate an individual’s previous job performance, responsibilities, and professional behaviour. In contrast to standard employment verification, which typically confirms only job titles and date, performance verification evaluates multiple dimensions, including:

·       Job Responsibilities: Were the roles and duties performed consistent with those listed on the résumé?

·       Work Quality: Was the employee's output accurate, timely, and of a professional standard?

·       Productivity: Did the individual meet or surpass established performance goals?

·       Reliability: Was the employee dependable and punctual in fulfilling their obligations?

·       Teamwork: Did they cooperate effectively with colleagues and contribute positively to team objectives?

·       Leadership (if applicable): Did the candidate demonstrate strong people or project management skills?

·       Reason for Leaving: Was the departure voluntary, the result of a layoff, or attributable to performance concerns?

Performance verification plays a critical role in the hiring process. It helps ensure the accuracy of information provided during interviews or on résumés, reduces the risk of employing individuals with prior performance challenges, and offers valuable insights into a candidate’s potential cultural fit and ability to fulfill organisational expectations.
