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 New Jersey.

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 means to verify their past work experience and educational qualifications. This form ensures that previous employers and educational institutions can legally share necessary information, thereby facilitating a smoother hiring process.
  • Situations requiring a thorough background check may arise when an employer is considering a candidate for a sensitive position. In such cases, the Authorization to Release Information allows the employer to obtain critical details about the candidate's past performance and any disciplinary actions.
  • To comply with company policies or industry regulations, employers may need to confirm the accuracy of a candidate's resume. By utilizing this authorization form, employers can ensure they are making informed hiring decisions based on verified information.
  • For those transitioning between jobs, having an Authorization to Release Information can expedite the hiring process. It allows prospective employers to quickly access necessary details from previous employers, reducing delays in onboarding new employees.
  • Recruiters often require candidates to provide authorization to verify their credentials as part of the hiring process. This form serves as a legal document that protects both the candidate's privacy and the employer's need for accurate information.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate if the candidate does not wish to disclose their employment history or educational background. In such cases, the candidate may need to reconsider their application or seek positions that do not require such verifications.
  • If the potential employer does not require verification of past employment or education, using this form may be unnecessary. Employers should assess their hiring needs to determine if such authorization is needed.
  • In situations where the candidate has a history of legal issues or disputes with former employers, they may prefer not to authorize the release of information. This could be due to concerns about negative feedback affecting their job prospects.
  • If the candidate is applying for a position that does not involve sensitive information or high levels of responsibility, the authorization may not be necessary. Employers in lower-risk industries might not require detailed background checks.
  • For candidates who are applying for jobs in industries with strict privacy laws, such as healthcare, different forms of consent may be required. This form might not meet the specific legal standards needed in such cases.
