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 Mississippi.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

This form allows potential employers to obtain necessary information from previous employers and educational institutions regarding a candidate's work history and qualifications, ensuring a thorough and lawful hiring process.

Any job applicant who wishes to have their previous employment and educational credentials verified by a potential employer should sign this authorization. It is a standard procedure in many hiring processes.

While you can refuse to sign the authorization, doing so may hinder your chances of being hired. Employers often require this information to make informed decisions about candidates.

The authorization allows for the release of various types of information, including employment dates, job titles, performance evaluations, and educational credentials. However, the specifics may vary based on the employer's request.

Yes, signing the authorization grants consent for the release of information, but it does not waive your rights to privacy. Employers must still comply with applicable privacy laws when handling your information.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals seeking employment may need to provide an Authorization to Release Information to potential employers to facilitate background checks. This form allows previous employers and educational institutions to share relevant information, ensuring that the hiring process is transparent and trustworthy.
  • Situations requiring verification of a candidate's work history often necessitate the use of this authorization. Employers can confirm details such as job titles, dates of employment, and reasons for termination, which helps them make informed hiring decisions.
  • For those applying for positions that require specific credentials, this form can be crucial. It enables educational institutions to verify degrees and certifications directly to the employer, thus preventing any misrepresentation of qualifications.
  • In cases where an employer has concerns about a candidate's past performance, this authorization allows them to obtain performance evaluations from previous employers. This can provide insights into the candidate's work ethic and capabilities.
  • Employers conducting thorough background checks may find this form essential to obtain comprehensive information. By having candidates sign the authorization, they can legally access necessary details without infringing on privacy rights.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when a candidate does not wish to disclose their employment history or educational background. In such cases, the candidate may prefer to keep this information private, which could limit their job opportunities.
  • – If the potential employer does not require any verification of past employment or education, using this form would be unnecessary. Some employers may rely solely on interviews and resumes without conducting background checks.
  • – In situations where the candidate is applying for a position that does not require any specific qualifications or prior experience, the authorization may not be needed. For entry-level positions, employers may not seek extensive background information.
  • – This form should not be used if the candidate is underage or lacks the legal capacity to consent to the release of their information. In such cases, a parent or guardian may need to provide consent instead.
  • – If the candidate has previously revoked consent for information release, this form would not be applicable. Employers must respect any prior decisions made by the candidate regarding the sharing of their information.
