Authorization to release employment information

I would like to conduct a reference check on new employees with past employers. Considering the privacy act and the hesitation of employers to share data. Does anyone have a sample form that a potential employee can sign giving authorization to past employer to release basic information such as dates of employment, salary, job title, duties, if they would re-hire employee and type of employee.

  • We have an acknowledgement on the bottom of our applications that authorizes us to contact any previous employers listed. This information is in a box right above where the applicant signs and dates the form. Often, I need to copy and fax this authorization before a previous employer will talk to me. I mostly get dates of hire, postion held, and basic duties.

    I would be more than happy to e-mail a copy to you if you want.
