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 Idaho.

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 employment and educational history. By signing the Authorization to Release Information, candidates can facilitate the background check process, ensuring that employers receive accurate information about their qualifications.
  • Situations requiring a thorough vetting process for candidates, such as positions in sensitive industries or roles involving fiduciary responsibilities, often necessitate the use of this form. Employers can use the signed authorization to obtain essential details about a candidate's past job performance and any disciplinary actions.
  • For those applying for jobs in competitive fields, having a streamlined method for employers to verify claims can be crucial. The Authorization to Release Information allows candidates to proactively address any potential concerns regarding their work history or educational achievements, thereby enhancing their chances of securing a position.
  • Employers who want to ensure compliance with hiring regulations may require this form to obtain necessary information legally. By having candidates sign the authorization, employers can protect themselves from potential legal issues related to privacy violations when conducting background checks.
  • In cases where a candidate has a complex employment history, such as multiple short-term positions or gaps in employment, this form can help clarify their background. By allowing previous employers to disclose relevant information, candidates can present a more complete picture of their work experience.

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 employment history. In such cases, the process can be simplified without the need for an authorization.
  • If a candidate has concerns about their past employment that could negatively impact their application, they may want to consider addressing these issues directly with the employer instead of relying on this form. Transparency may be more beneficial in such situations.
  • For individuals applying for jobs where personal references are sufficient, using this authorization may be unnecessary. Employers may prefer to contact references directly rather than obtaining formal employment verification.
  • In situations where the candidate has never been employed or does not have any educational credentials to verify, this form would not be applicable. It is designed specifically for those with relevant work history and education.
  • Candidates who are uncomfortable with disclosing their personal information to potential employers should refrain from using this authorization. It is essential to weigh the benefits of transparency against personal privacy concerns.
