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 Delaware.

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:

  • Employers seeking to verify a candidate's work history will find this form essential. By having the candidate sign the Authorization to Release Information, employers can legally obtain past employment details, ensuring that the information provided on resumes is accurate and truthful.
  • Individuals applying for jobs may need to complete this form to facilitate the hiring process. By signing the release, candidates allow their previous employers and educational institutions to share necessary information, which can expedite background checks and enhance their chances of securing employment.
  • In situations where an employer suspects discrepancies in a candidate's application, this form serves as a tool to clarify any doubts. The signed authorization enables the employer to access specific records that can confirm or refute claims made by the candidate regarding their employment or education.
  • For hiring managers conducting thorough background checks, this form is a critical component. It provides a legal framework for obtaining sensitive information from third parties, ensuring compliance with privacy laws while protecting the interests of both the employer and the candidate.
  • Organizations that are required to adhere to strict hiring protocols can utilize this form to maintain compliance. By obtaining explicit consent from candidates, employers can safeguard themselves against potential legal issues related to privacy violations during the hiring process.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for candidates who are applying for positions that do not require background checks or verification of previous employment. In such cases, the hiring process may proceed without the need for this authorization.
  • If a candidate is applying for a job where the employer does not request any information from past employers or educational institutions, the form would be unnecessary and could complicate the application process.
  • Situations where the candidate has a history of legal issues or disputes with previous employers may require a different approach. In these cases, it may be more beneficial to discuss the situation directly with the potential employer rather than using this form.
  • For individuals who are not comfortable with their previous employment or educational history being disclosed, this form may not be suitable. Candidates should consider their willingness to share such information before signing.
