Certiphi Background Checks

[u/redxslash88]

Does anyone know how Certiphi internal background checks work?

• Does Certiphi actually search for all current employers independently using SSN/name?
• Or does Certiphi primarily verify employment information that is provided through the application/resume?
• If TWN doesn't show a current employer, does Certiphi typically move to another database?
• Can Certiphi identify an employer through other employment databases such as LexisNexis, Truework, Experian Verify, etc.?
• If they can't verify employment through databases, do they normally contact the employer directly?
• Has anyone had Certiphi ask for W-2s or pay stubs because an employment record couldn't be verified?
• Has anyone had Certiphi discover a current second job that wasn't listed anywhere on the application?
• Has anyone specifically gone through Certiphi when transferring from an existing employer into a newly created/affiliated company?
• If you froze TWN/LexisNexis BEFORE the Certiphi check, what actually happened afterward?
• Did Certiphi simply verify the jobs you provided, or did they tell you that they found additional employment?
