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 Florida.

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 may need to provide this authorization to prospective employers to facilitate background checks. By signing this form, they allow previous employers and educational institutions to share information that confirms their qualifications and work history.
  • Situations requiring verification of a candidate's past employment often arise during the hiring process. Employers may request this form to ensure that the information provided by applicants is accurate and to assess their suitability for the position.

  • For those applying for positions in sensitive fields, such as education or healthcare, this form may be essential. It allows employers to obtain critical information that can impact hiring decisions, particularly regarding the candidate's past performance and reliability.
  • Recruiters may use this authorization to streamline the hiring process. By obtaining consent upfront, they can expedite background checks and focus on candidates who meet the necessary qualifications without unnecessary delays.

Do Not Use If:
