Employee Reference Check Question: Download Employee Reference Check PDF
How can I verify a candidate's past salary, when reference checks usually won't reveal pay levels?
Answer:
A growing number of employers speak directly to their applicant and require that past W-2s and/or 1099 Forms be shown before an offer or after a contingent offer is made. Aside from providing the employer with information helpful to making a competitive offer, this enables the employer to validate the accuracy of any salary information previously provided by the applicant.
