Typically, potential employers will want to check the truthfulness and validity of the assertions made by a candidate on a resume or job application. For example, a potential employer may want to be assured that the candidate had not been fired from a previous position or that his educational credentials were in fact earned by him. However, past and present employers and schools may be hesitant to release this information for fear of violating the candidate’s privacy. To combat this, a potential employer can use an Authorization to Release Information. This release is signed by the candidate when he applies for a position and expressly allows past and present employers and schools to release information to the employer regarding such things as performance evaluations, work-related characteristics and termination records.

This form can be used in Arkansas.

This package contains: (1) Instructions and Checklist for the Authorization to Release Information (the “Authorization”); (2) Information regarding the Authorization; (3) the Authorization.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals seeking employment often need to provide potential employers with a way to verify their past work experience and educational background. By signing the Authorization to Release Information, candidates can facilitate the hiring process and ensure that their qualifications are accurately represented.
  • Situations requiring thorough background checks, such as positions in education or healthcare, often necessitate the use of this authorization form. Employers in these fields must ensure that candidates meet specific standards, and having access to past employment and educational records is crucial for compliance.
  • To comply with company policies regarding hiring practices, employers may require candidates to authorize the release of their previous employment information. This form helps mitigate the risk of hiring individuals who may have falsified their credentials or have a history of problematic employment.
  • For those applying for positions that involve sensitive information or high levels of responsibility, such as financial services, this authorization is essential. It allows employers to verify the integrity of candidates and make informed hiring decisions based on accurate data.
  • Organizations conducting thorough due diligence during the hiring process often utilize this form to obtain necessary information from previous employers. This ensures that they can assess a candidate's suitability for the role based on verified past performance.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for candidates who are applying for positions that do not require verification of past employment or educational credentials. If the role does not involve sensitive information or high responsibility, a simpler application process may suffice.
  • Individuals should avoid using this authorization if they are not comfortable with their past employment history being disclosed. If a candidate has concerns about negative references or past terminations, it may be better to discuss these issues directly with the potential employer.
  • In situations where the employer does not require background checks or verification of credentials, this form may be unnecessary. Some employers may rely on interviews and personal references instead of formal verification processes.
  • If a candidate is applying for a freelance or contract position where formal employment verification is not customary, this authorization may not be needed. Such roles often rely on portfolio reviews and personal recommendations rather than formal employment history.
