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 Oregon.

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 an Authorization to Release Information to potential employers. This form ensures that their previous employers and educational institutions can share relevant information about their work history and qualifications, facilitating a smoother hiring process.
  • Situations requiring verification of a candidate's past employment often necessitate this authorization. Employers may want to confirm details such as job titles, responsibilities, and reasons for leaving previous positions, which can be critical in making informed hiring decisions.
  • For those transitioning between jobs, this form can help expedite the hiring process. By granting permission for past employers to disclose information, candidates can alleviate concerns employers might have regarding their employment history and qualifications.
  • In cases where an applicant has a complex employment history, utilizing the Authorization to Release Information can clarify any discrepancies. This transparency can enhance the candidate's credibility and improve their chances of securing the desired position.
  • Employers conducting thorough background checks will find this authorization essential. It allows them to obtain necessary information without infringing on the candidate's privacy rights, ensuring compliance with legal standards.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate for candidates who do not wish to disclose their employment history. If an individual prefers to keep their past employment private, they should not sign the authorization.
  • In situations where the potential employer does not require verification of past employment or education, using this form may be unnecessary and could complicate the hiring process.
  • If the candidate has not provided accurate information on their application, they may not want to use this form, as it could lead to the discovery of discrepancies that could jeopardize their application.
  • For employers who are not conducting background checks, the authorization may not be needed. If the hiring process is based solely on interviews and personal references, this form is redundant.
  • In cases where the candidate is applying for a position that does not require verification of credentials or work history, such as informal or temporary jobs, this authorization may not be relevant.
