About the Employment Information Release

An Employment Information Release is a document that authorizes outside parties to release information about a job applicant to a potential employer. This information is generally restricted to academic qualifications and details relating to the applicant's ability to perform the job. By signing this document, the applicant also releases the outside parties from any liability related to the exchange of this information.

• You're preparing to hire a new employee and want to verify their employment history and application details.
• You're a job seeker authorizing a former employer to release your employment details to a prospective employer.
